Can USA still engage in any military aggression of scale and substance now that it has lost the supply of refined rare earths essential to the manufacture of most modern war hardwares?
It seems many Americans still believe they are the dominant military power - but in reality, are they?
Adjusting our understanding of the world to rapidly changing global power dynamics can be challenging and takes time.
No hurry, just whenever you are ready to confront the reality that the US military industrial combine is crippled by its lack of reliable access to refined rare earths supply chains for at least the next decade...

Honestly so much of science stuffers from these issues in some way shape or form. Even today we have study's that everything thought were revolutionary and breakthrough that had bad actors in this.
That being said Counterfactual Thinking is a much better explanation of the Indian earthquake and disaster/life altering events. It addresses cognitive dissonance in a much better way.
