The supply of rare earths from Australia is projected to be sufficient only for the military needs of the United States. For civilian applications, the U.S. will continue to face significant supply chain challenges.

We are facing a crisis of the Capitalistic order, we do not know if it will cause a new evolution of Capitalism, a nuclear world war or the transition to Socialism.

Thats actually what I’m worried about is it enough to fill the demand?

No, Venezuela is just a bandaid fix for the bauxite and oil, China still controls the vast majority of rare earth minerals that the US is in desperate need of ever since they shot themselves in the foot with the trade war. Keep in mind the maintenance of the US war machine gets more expensive by the day and a growing number of vehicles aren't even combat ready anymore. Combined with the depletion of the Tomahawk missile thanks to our buddies in Iran and the Russia-Nato war and one starts to see that the US truly is just a paper tiger.
