Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors.
Russia can’t even take Ukraine, the fantasy that Russia somehow is a military threat to Europe is laughable.
I’m pro-Europe but I also recognize that Europe is very dependent on the US for military technology and weapons. France is the only country that is resistant to the possibility of the US just turning everything off. European nations would do fine vs. Russia with American technology and weapons. I suspect that Russia could reconquer to Berlin if Europe was depraved of American military technology and weapons. Maybe I’m wrong, though.
Maybe, I’m not a military expert by no means, but I fail to see the real advantage of the supposed american military technology when they lost every single war since ww2, often against supply starved adversary.
They win wars. They bore of occupations.
Ok let’s assume Russia takes europe - then what? You think Europeans going to happily sit under Ruzi dictatorship? What the fuck are you even talking about.
Then what? Then you get the 1950’s - 1980’s in eastern Europe all over again, including an obvious level of stagnation when compared to those on the other side of the iron curtain.
Lmao you think eastern Europeans will accept Russian rule? Even in 1940s with ww2 going on and under entire new brand and government method Ruzis could barely hold eastern European countries.
Now with internet and basically untraceable weapons of mass destruction you think ruskies can hold an independent country when they can barely hold their own together?
Absurd.
Georgians recently elected a very pro-Moscow political party. Belarus could revolt but doesn’t. During Soviet rule, we had the example of the Hungarians whose little revolt was crushed quickly. They then fell back in line to Russian rule.
Nah having trouble believing that Baltics could ever be rules by Russia. No way ruskies ever winning that.
