ELEMENTAL CRISIS: How China controls the key rare earth (Neodymium)...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Welcome to the special report called Elemental Crisis, How China and Russia Control the Critical Minerals Needed for AI, Military Robots, and Economic Domination.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the publisher of NaturalNews.com, the inventor of Brighteon.com, the creator of Brighteon.ai, our Enoch AI engine.
Which conducted the research for this report.
I'll talk about that in a few minutes.
And I'm known as an analyst, researcher, inventor.
And what I have to share with you today is a big picture, connect the dots type of story that even shocked me.
So let me just dive right into it.
It starts with the fact that Trump and Zelensky have signed an agreement.
That gives the United States access to mineral resources in Ukraine.
So this is a huge deal.
It's been widely reported all across the media.
It grants the United States access to the natural resources of Ukraine.
Even as Trump is really aggressively pushing Zelensky to a peace deal with Russia, even though that peace deal would involve Ukraine giving up its claim to lots, lots of land.
mostly land in the Donbass region that Russia already controls, but that's not land that the leaders of Ukraine wanted to give up.
But essentially, this deal gives the United States first dibs on mineral resources coming out of Ukraine, including oil and gas and critical minerals.
The United States gets 50% of the revenue and puts in 50% of the investment, but Basically, you know how this is going to work.
Essentially, this is the United States, well, let's say from a negative interpretation, this is the U.S. pillaging Ukraine, although I don't entirely agree with that designation, but you're going to hear that kind of talk.
So some people will say, well, the U.S. is pillaging Ukraine and stealing the resources from Ukraine.
Okay.
Well, on the other hand, Ukraine itself is not in a position to build the infrastructure to extract and profit from its own resources.
And it has a lot of resources, mineral, energy, oil, gas, etc.
So this is sort of an investment partnership where the U.S. invests half the money to build the infrastructure in order to extract and monetize and export these minerals, and Ukraine gets half the revenue.
Which actually seems like a pretty fair partnership deal, you know, half-half.
But the thing that I like about this deal and the reason why I think in this case, I'm going to give Trump credit and I'm going to say that Trump really does have a big-picture view here, or his advisors or whoever's driving this, okay?
They have a very big-picture view that's going to become clear as I unravel it for you here.
And that begins with the idea...
That with this deal in place, of course there's a lot of rich people, wealthy billionaires in America that stand to become even more wealthy as they profit from these minerals.
And you know they're going to be the first people in line to benefit from this.
It's who you know, right?
But it creates a financial incentive to end the war.
And that's not a bad thing.
This means that America now profits more from peace and from ending the conflict than it does from keeping the conflict going.
So there's now an internal factional fight inside the United States where the military, the weapons companies, and the Pentagon itself, they want to keep the war going.
You know, they want more contracts for bombs and missiles and bigger budgets and everything.
But then there's this other faction of really wealthy people that all surround Trump who want to make billions of dollars off the minerals and the oil and the gas and the exports and the rare earths and everything that comes out of Ukraine.
And they need peace in order for that to function.
And let me ask you, would you rather, I mean, if this is the choice, would you rather the mining companies?
Get rich and we have peace or the weapons companies get rich and we have war and the bombs continue and there's just pain and suffering and more death.
See, I would rather have peace and I'm willing to support the price of peace, which is that certain, you know, connected people, they're going to make billions of dollars off the minerals in Ukraine.
That's just the way it is.
I would much rather have that than war.
Okay, so that's just my opinion.
But let me tell you where this goes next.
So setting aside the oil and gas energy resources for a moment, we need to talk about the rare earth minerals and other metal elements or metal-like elements that can be mined in Ukraine.
So if you look at the minerals that Ukraine is known to possess, and this is Easy to find.
I used Enoch in order to do the research on this.
Ukraine is really rich with titanium.
It's got one of the largest reserves in the world, and titanium is used in military aircraft and aerospace and medical devices, etc.
It's a very valuable element.
Ukraine is rich in iron ore.
Huge deposits of iron ore, which explains the existence of the steel factories in Ukraine, one of which was famously the site of...
Quite a bloody battle two years ago, I believe, roughly.
But the steel factories are really critical because that's infrastructure for manufacturing, including manufacturing military weapons and rockets and buildings, steel I-beam for high-rise buildings,
etc.
So you need a steel industry if you're going to have control over the future of your nation.
Lithium.
Ukraine is known to have substantial fields of lithium.
It hasn't been widely produced yet, but the fields are known to exist, and of course lithium is used in electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries, all kinds of things.
Coal.
There's abundant coal in Ukraine, which means Ukraine has massive energy supplies, and think about the geographical location of Ukraine, sort of between Western Europe and Russia.
With a lot of surrounding nations, smaller nations on the north, etc.
Energy is what Western Europe needs desperately right now since the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines.
They were destroyed by the U.S. Navy in order to cut off Russia's gas exports to Western Europe.
So Ukraine has the coal, and with some investment and some infrastructure, i.e.
coal-fired power plants, Ukraine could provide a lot of relatively affordable electricity to Western Europe, at least a lot cheaper than the solar energy resources that they're trying to use in France and Spain,
which just had a total power grid failure a few days ago, by the way, because the solar fields failed, you know?
And they lost power for the whole country and part of France.
Other surrounding nations as well.
That was not cool.
Ukraine has neon, which is used in semiconductor manufacturing.
It's got nickel.
That's a key component in batteries, also stainless steel.
It's got beryllium that's used in aerospace.
And it has some other rare earth metals.
Now, when I was doing this research, one of the metals that I was looking for is neodymium ND.
And neodymium...
As you're about to learn here, this is something that needs to be on your radar because neodymium, or some people pronounce it neodymium, I don't know.
I don't know which way I prefer.
Either way, I'll just call it neodymium.
It's going to become possibly the single most important choke point rare earth metal for the future of our world.
Memorize this.
Again, it's ND.
That's the atomic element symbol.
Neodymium or neodymium.
And you've heard of this in magnets.
Well, it's used in magnets that make up the motor or the actuators in robots.
It's also used in wind turbines and it's used in electric vehicles.
And neodymium currently, as you're about to find out, It doesn't come out of Ukraine, but there could be deposits in Ukraine that could be developed.
We just don't know yet.
Currently, the number one producer is China, and we're going to get to that.
So, this Trump deal with Ukraine is designed to end the conflict with Russia, which allows Trump to refocus military and intelligence assets on China or Iran.
Even Trump doesn't want to fight three wars at once, so he wants to stop the war with Russia and then really focus on economic and trade war with China and possibly kinetic war with Iran on behalf of Israel.
I guess we'll have to see where that goes.
But as all of this is happening, China has cut off rare earth mineral exports to the United States.
Not all of them, but a significant portion of them.
If we backtrack about seven years, Trump realized that the United States of America was lacking in rare earth minerals that are necessary for military, aerospace, robotics, data centers,
wind turbines, EVs, all of it.
And to his credit, in his first term, Trump really worked hard to open up domestic rare earth mineral mining, extraction, and production.
And it worked.
We went from having almost no domestic production of rare earths to having a little.
Not a lot, but it was something.
It used to be almost zero.
But thanks to Trump's efforts, it's now higher than it used to be, but is nowhere near, not even close, to what China produces.
China controls not only rare earth minerals, mining, and exports, China leads the world in rare earth minerals extraction technology.
Now remember that China is a very advanced nation.
Very high standards of technology.
It graduates many more times the number of STEM graduates compared to the United States.
I think 400% more every year.
You know, science, technology, engineering, mathematics.
China leads the world in the vast majority of critical technologies.
One of those technologies is minerals extraction technology.
Now, I don't want to bore you with too many details here, but if you back up, if you find a deposit in the ground that is rich in rare earth minerals, do you know if you move a ton of earth,
like one ton, you know, let's say a metric ton, a thousand kilograms of earth, And you process that ton.
How many kilograms of rare earths will you get out of that?
And the answer is not even kilograms.
The answer is usually grams.
You're lucky to get a few grams that is a few thousandths out of the ton.
So you might move a ton of rock and you might get a few grams of rare earths out of it.
And there are specific ways that you process that.
One ton of earth, rocks and dirt, whatever else.
There's a way you process it to get the minerals out of it.
For example, did you know that almost all silver production in the world is not intended?
They're not mining for silver.
They're mining for other things, and they get silver as a byproduct.
Did you know that?
Now, gold mines are set up specifically to mine gold.
And if you know anything about gold mining, you know they have to move tons of earth to get grams of gold.
Sometimes just milligrams of gold.
Depends on how much gold there is.
It's not a lot.
Silver, sometimes you get a lot more grams.
But rare earths, these extremely rare ones, like neodymium, you don't get much at all.
And there's a specific method, a technology, a knowledge base.
That China has mastered on how to take a ton of earth and get out the gallium, the neodymium, the silver, every element that you can think of.
They know how to get it out of dirt.
And also, notably, China doesn't have much in the way of environmental controls or anti-pollution laws.
So, you know, they...
They tend to use really toxic methods to get these minerals out.
As a result, they pollute their own rivers and they pollute their own crops as a byproduct.
But they get the minerals.
They get them.
They dominate the world in these minerals.
Now, why does this matter?
And what is Trump actually trying to do here in terms of setting America up for a future where America can compete on the world stage?
Let me take a tangential break here and start another thread, and then we'll bring it back together.
We have to talk about the rise of AI robots.
And AI robots, I believe, it's very clear to me, are going to be the key technology that determines the dominant nation for the future of our world, at least the foreseeable number of centuries.
Whoever masters robot manufacturing, and importantly, whoever has the raw materials necessary for robot manufacturing, will dominate the world.
Why?
Well, where to begin?
Robot soldiers, robot factory workers, robot home workers, robots.
When you have general-purpose humanoid robots with opposable thumbs that can do everything, everything that a human can do, You can expand your economy.
You can expand your GDP.
You can expand your factories.
You can expand agriculture.
You can deploy robots in military, in aerospace, in factories, in everything.
Home care, medicine, surgeries.
Walking your dog.
You can use robots for pulling weeds on your farm.
I keep hoping for a weed-pulling robot, actually.
That's on my list.
I need a weed-pulling robot.
It doesn't even have to be humanoid.
I'll settle for a weed-pulling dog robot.
That's fine with me.
It just should have a mouth that pulls weeds, okay?
I'm happy with that.
But whoever does this the best and whoever can scale it up is going to dominate the world militarily and economically.
Got it?
But you might think, well, that's going to be easy.
You just start up a bunch of factories.
You just make a bunch of robots.
Well, the problem with that is that robots have inputs.
A lot of inputs.
And many of those inputs are, of course, elements, obviously.
So aluminum being one of the main ones that goes into a robot because aluminum is used for the skeleton, the structural support of the robot.
Guess who the top producer of aluminum is in the world right now?
Oh, it's China.
It's China.
China controls over half of the world's supply of aluminum.
Russia is very capable of producing and exporting aluminum, but Russia is banned by the West because we cut off Russia from the SWIFT system.
And so we can't do business with Russia.
We can't buy aluminum from Russia.
We can buy it from China, and of course we produce our own aluminum, and there's aluminum production in Australia and other places.
Canada, even.
Other places, but China produces the most.
And China produces affordable, high-quality aluminum.
Well, so there are other elements.
There's cobalt.
The top producer of cobalt, I don't know if you know this, is the Congo, the DRC.
Or I guess you just say Congo.
Cobalt is used also in lithium-ion batteries.
So it powers the robot, right?
And there are brutal mining practices in the DRC to mine the cobalt, you know, child labor, all kinds of things.
Russia is reportedly stockpiling cobalt, and you've probably heard of cobalt being used in tools.
Like, I have drill bits that are made out of cobalt that are incredibly durable.
They last 10 times longer than the non-cobalt.
Drill bits.
So I buy cobalt drill bits.
And guess where they're made?
China.
They're made in China.
All right, so we can go through this list.
Lithium, obviously, for the batteries.
Copper, for all the wiring and the circuit boards.
You know, there's a lot of other minerals that are involved in this.
But the choke point metal or element is neodymium.
And there's another one called dysprosium, DY.
These two together, these...
are needed for the robot actuators, i.e.
the muscles, the parts that make the robots move.
So how do you move an arm?
So you have an actuator or maybe more than one at the shoulder joint for different degrees of freedom of movement.
You have another actuator at the elbow.
You have actuators at the wrist.
And then if your robot has fingers, And opposable thumbs.
You have little actuators in all the fingers and thumbs, right?
Yeah, actuators in the hips and the knees and the feet and the ankles and the neck, obviously, right?
Everywhere that there's a pivot point, you have an actuator.
Every actuator needs neodymium.
And neodymium is hard to find.
And so it doesn't matter how big your robot factories are.
It doesn't matter how much iron ore or steel that you have.
It doesn't matter how much aluminum you have or even how much lithium or cobalt.
The choke point is the neodymium or neodymium, as some people say.
So as much as 90% of the neodymium in the world comes from China.
And that's an estimate, you know, plus or minus.
But China dominates the market on neodymium, which means China has a near monopoly on this rare earth.
China has restricted exports for the United States.
And so what this means is that, think about this, under Trump, the USA put all kinds of economic sanctions on China, and some of this happened under Biden, too, to try to stop China from being able to acquire microchips,
such as NVIDIA AI chips, as well as microchip lithography equipment from European companies.
That make the machines that make the microchips, you know, the fabrication machines.
And those come out of Europe and China can't buy them.
So the West has been at war with China to try to stop China from gaining microchips to try to slow China down on the AI front.
And in return, China is at war with the West trying to deprive the West of...
And robots will largely determine the future of the world, like I said, in military and economic terms.
Now, you could argue that AI, software AI, non-robot AI, will also clearly be a dominant factor.
And whoever achieves...
AGI or artificial general intelligence or superintelligence first may dominate the world from that point of view.
And I've even argued that as well.
That's probably true.
But it turns out that China's kicking butt on the AI side, too.
China has released models like DeepSeq R1, reasoning models, that are very effective.
And now we learn that China has figured out how to make its own AI data center chip systems that are comparable to NVIDIA's chips.
Even though Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, you know he's Taiwanese, right?
He's from Taiwan, where I lived.
And that's why I really like Jensen Huang.
He's a really, really cool guy, really brilliant guy.
And Taiwan, of course, has Taiwan Semiconductor and leads in semiconductor manufacturing.
But China is being forced to develop its own semiconductor domestic infrastructure and manufacturing capability.
And it's doing very well.
In other words, the West is not going to be able to effectively strangle China for very long on the microchip side.
But you can't, you know, on the inverse of that, America can't just figure out how to make neodymium.
You can't make it.
It's an element.
It's on the table of elements.
You can't make it.
You have to find it.
You have to dig it up, you know?
So China can figure out how to make microchips.
They're doing it.
And they're surprising everybody else in the world at how good they are at coming up with microchips.
I mean, we shouldn't be surprised.
Chinese are really smart engineers.
Come on.
Pay attention, right?
Smart folks, right?
But the West can't make neodymium.
So if you don't have it, you're just bleep out of luck.
You don't have it.
So you can't make the robots, okay?
You can't make the robots.
So part of what Trump is doing right now, and this is why Trump is negotiating with African nations also, and this is why Trump is negotiating with Zelensky and signed the minerals deal.
This is also why Trump is trying to acquire Greenland.
It's because of the sea lanes or the international transport of rare earth minerals and other goods.
But control of the sea lanes is going to be critical here because no one country has everything that's needed to make robots except maybe China.
China can make robots from everything sourced domestically.
And Russia's probably very close to that if they haven't already figured it out.
Russia has been very resilient following all the economic sanctions.
But the United States can't make robots without sourcing all kinds of things from other nations.
And in order for those things to come to America, they have to travel by sea, which means that the United States has to control the sea lanes.
That explains the Suez Canal, U.S. aircraft carriers in the Red Sea.
It explains why the U.S. supports Israel so strongly, because also they want to build a new canal, the so-called Ben-Gurion Canal, that goes right through Gaza, which is why they want Gaza cleared out.
They need a new canal from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, Essentially the Arabian Sea.
And they want to bypass Egypt and bypass the Suez Canal.
They have a plan for that.
It involves setting off hundreds of nuclear bombs to blow up mountains, basically.
Yeah, that should be interesting.
But you've got to think ahead on this.
You've got to think long-term.
Trump wants sea lanes controlled by Israel.
And so does Europe.
So does the UK, you see.
But this explains everything about Panama.
Why is Trump going crazy about controlling Panama?
Because of the Panama Canal, folks.
If Panama did not have a canal, Trump would have almost no interest in Panama.
Trust me.
Because that canal, which is of course a series of elevation change locks going to an inland lake, it's more than a canal, right?
It's a complex system, but it saves ships all kinds of time and risk and energy from having to sail around the southern tip of South America, obviously.
The canals are critical and straits are critical, like the Strait of Malacca or the Strait of Hormuz or the Straits of Taiwan.
All of these are critical to control.
This has everything to do with being able to acquire the minerals needed to build robots to dominate the future of our world with robotics.
And, you know, plus those trade routes are important for your domestic economy to be able to export goods, etc.
It's a multi-purpose thing.
Trump is actually thinking big picture on this.
He's thinking pretty far ahead.
Way farther ahead than most Americans are even aware.
I mean, a typical American doesn't even know where is the Suez Canal.
Like, is it in Suez?
No.
They might be able to guess where the Panama Canal is.
Is it Panama?
Yay!
You got one right.
But typical Americans have no idea.
Many of them can't find America on a map, you know, it's pretty bad.
But this is what Trump is doing.
So, China dominates neodymium.
Neodymium is necessary for the actuators of robots.
And if you don't have neodymium, you can make all the other parts of robots all day long, but the robots have no, like, muscles.
They can't move.
Their joints don't move.
Without the neodymium.
So yeah, you can have like robot parts laying around all day long.
Look, we got 5,000 robots just laying on the floor there.
Yeah, do they move?
No.
Why?
We have no neodymium.
Oh.
Well, start digging.
You're going to need some neodymium.
I mean, we don't have any other way to do this.
We need magnets.
Strong magnets.
Lightweight magnets, you know?
So getting back to why this matters.
There are at least five key areas where robots are going to be necessary.
Number one is the military.
And you've already seen lots of demonstrations of dog bots running around, sometimes with guns mounted on their backs.
Guess who's dominating the dog bots?
Really, it's China.
It's Chinese companies that seem to have the most impressive dog bots so far.
Now, granted, I've seen Tesla with its robot.
I've seen some other U.S. companies.
Doing some interesting things, but China seems to be making the best progress in this area.
So whoever can mass manufacture, let's say like a 100,000 military robots, then it's obvious you could send them into an area, you know, conquer, control, right?
Kill the enemy.
Can you imagine what the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would be right now if either side had 100,000 soldier bots?
It's like if Ukraine.
Ukraine's running out of men, right?
If they had 100,000 soldier bots or a million soldier bots, just, hey, send them east.
Find Russian soldiers and take them out.
And then they wouldn't have to lose men.
They could just send in robots.
So whoever dominates that field first is going to have a major military advantage.
And think about China.
They could load up 40-foot containers with maybe a couple hundred of these Humanoid robots inside one container.
Just put them on sleep mode, you know?
They don't need food, they don't need water, they don't need air, nothing.
No air conditioning.
And then you sail up to the port in California, you know?
You offload the container, open it up, and out spill two million robots or whatever from a bunch of containers.
And then you just have Chinese robots everywhere.
You know, attacking Los Angeles, which might be difficult because parts of it look like they've already been bombed.
I'm not sure.
Robots might be confused.
Like, have we already destroyed this section of L.A.?
You know, they don't talk like that, but you get the idea.
They would be confused.
But you could see an invasion, a robot invasion actually taking place.
They wouldn't even have to be humanoid robots.
They could be dog bots.
They could be flying drone bots.
It's all robotics.
The next thing, medical robots, AI surgeons, but also just sort of robotic hospital workers.
You're going to be greeted by a robot in the near future.
It's going to ask you for your insurance.
It's going to make you go through all the same crap that you go through now with a human being.
Your complaints will go nowhere because the robot has no emotions.
But you'll have a robot hospital worker.
There's going to be a robot cleaning the floor, robots delivering medical supplies and whatever, and robots performing security.
You're going to have security bots everywhere.
You're going to have police bots.
At first, they'll work alongside the humans.
You'll have a human cop in the car and a robot cop in the passenger seat.
Every human cop will have a robot sidekick, like Batman and Robin.
And the human cop will use the robot cop to do the risky stuff, like, you know, clearing a room.
Kick in the door, RoboCop, right?
Kick in the door and see if there's anybody in there.
And if somebody starts shooting, they just shoot up the robot.
Yeah, who cares, you know?
You can salvage the magnets.
Recycle the neodymium into the next RoboCop.
So this is going to be how you're going to see this roll out in police, in security, in military, in hospitals, in industry.
You're going to have industrial robots.
Like, hey, Bob, it's your turn to clean the fuel rods at the nuke plant today.
Well, Bob says, good thing we've got a robot to do that now.
Send the robot down there to do the radiation work.
Or Homer Simpson or whatever.
You're going to see industrial robots and you're going to have agricultural robots.
So all the agricultural work or most of it will be automated via robots.
You're going to have robot strawberry pickers.
You're going to have robots operating agricultural equipment like tractors.
You're going to have robots pulling weeds.
That's my favorite right there.
I want a weed pulling robot.
And you're going to have robots planting.
Using implements, shovels and rakes and whatever.
They're going to be doing the labor of agriculture, and they're going to be working in the food plants and packing food, etc.
The thing is, growing a human and training a human and feeding a human and everything to the point where that human is useful to society, which typically takes at least 20 years, because everybody knows that teenagers are not useful to society.
They need a few more years in order to be useful.
For some people, it takes 30 years.
It just depends on the person.
Some people are useful at 20, 25, 30. Depends on the person.
But robots, you can make them tomorrow, and they can be useful tomorrow.
They roll off the factory, you upload the software, and then they're out there picking green beans the next day, you see?
And these robots are eventually going to be able to work for about a dollar an hour in terms of total cost.
Now, it's going to take...
Actually, a couple of decades for the scaling up of robot manufacturing to reach the point where they replace all the agriculture workers.
That's a couple of decades away, just because of the scaling up factors.
But if you don't have the neodymium, you can't scale up at all.
So, again, the summary is, whoever has the rare earths...
Whoever has the neodymium, whoever has the cobalt, the lithium, and aluminum, and copper, can make the most robots.
And whoever makes the most robots can have the best economy, the best military, the best agriculture, the best medical assistance, all of it.
You know, schools and factories and warehouses and everything.
It's all going to be automated.
Now, I'm not answering the question today, well, what are humans going to do?
I hope they don't just sit at home on the couch and watch the view all day.
That would be a waste of a human, you know?
I don't know.
You tell me.
I know what I'm going to be doing.
I'm going to have weed-pulling robots.
I'm going to be living off-grid with my robots and my AI, and my AI engine right now is kicking butt.
In fact, I used Enoch to research this whole story.
And if you want to sign up and join our waitlist for our free AI engine, it's called Enoch.
You can find it at brighteon.ai.
It has been delayed now two months.
I mean, we're already two months delayed.
The launch is imminent within days or whatever it takes.
We keep having these strange setbacks like my developers getting sick.
They should listen to my nutrition podcast and they'd be much better off.
But whatever, they're coders.
They're not health nuts, you know?
So they get sick and they miss time, whatever.
We're behind schedule.
But it's coming and you're going to find that Enoch can help you in tremendous ways.
Tremendous ways.
It's trained on off-grid living, herbs, nutrition, survival, preparedness, emergency first aid, everything.
It is the best engine in the world.
There's no question.
You'll see.
You'll be able to use it for free.
It's ad-free.
It's non-commercial.
There's no charge.
In other words, it's free, like actually free.
And you can even download a version that we have coming out that you can run locally.
That's coming a little bit, maybe a couple weeks later.
We'll see.
But the first version is accessible through a browser, and it's free.
Okay?
So that's where AI can help you.
And one day, you might want...
Some kind of robot helper around the house.
I mean, you already have a machine that washes your dishes, probably.
Dishwasher.
You have a machine that dries your clothes and washes your clothes, maybe.
Maybe not the same machine.
You have machines that do stuff for you.
You're going to want a machine that can do the dishes.
That can load the dishwasher.
You're going to want a machine that can cook a healthy meal.
Like, prepare the meal from fresh ingredients.
You're going to want that.
You're going to want not...
RoboCop, but RoboCook.
You're going to want a RoboCook.
And frankly, you're going to want that cook to use my AI engine to get recipe ideas.
Because we have the best recipes.
So, robots will be helpful, but if you can't make them because you don't have the rare earth minerals, your economy is going to fall behind on the world stage.
And that is the critical or what I call the elemental crisis that we are facing right now.
China is in the lead.
Russia is gaining rapidly.
America is falling behind.
It doesn't have the minerals that it needs to scale up robot production.
So that's where we are.
And that's why Trump is signing mineral resource deals with Ukraine and trying to protect sea lanes through Panama.
And, you know, the Arabian Sea region and the Mediterranean Sea, etc.
That's why that's happening.
Greenland as well.
So does it all make sense now?
That explains the dynamic that you're actually witnessing.
Whoever controls the elements controls the future.
And I should also mention that many of these same elements are used in building data centers.
So you know how Trump announced with all these companies this $500 billion investment in the state of Texas to build data centers in Texas?
Where are you going to get all the copper?
You're going to need a ton of copper.
I mean, like a million tons of copper.
You're going to need a lot of copper.
You're going to need a lot of aluminum.
You're going to need microchips galore.
You're going to need...
Conductors.
You're going to need silver, by the way.
There's a lot of silver that goes into data centers.
It's used in all the electronics.
You're going to have to buy up some significant chunk of the world's minerals, whatever's on the open market, and then you know how America's going to operate.
They're going to threaten to bomb a country if that country doesn't sell us the minerals we want.
Or, you know, regime change.
The CIA will take you out.
Assassins, whatever.
Or you could just sell us your cobalt.
I mean, that's...
Honestly, that's how it works, okay?
Economic hitman, all that stuff.
That's the reality of how it works.
And right now, Trump is in mineral acquisition mode because that's the only way to compete with China.
It's the only way.
You've got to have the minerals to build the machines, the data centers and the robots in order to even have a chance at competing with China.
And the USA is way behind.
And in terms of military technology, Russia is clearly in the lead with hypersonic missiles, with the Oreshnik missile system.
Suddenly, everybody forgot what that was.
That was the biggest breakthrough in the history of military weapons.
Oreshnik.
What does that mean in Russia?
Is that hazelnut or something?
That was a quantum leap advancement in A weapon system, and nobody's talking about it.
That's on my radar.
Russia has some very smart engineers.
China has some very capable people.
China's dominating technology, dominating robots.
Russia's dominating weapon systems.
The U.S. had better start to catch up, or we're going to be left in the dust.
That's where we are.
