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.

      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.
