๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บHow anti-Russian sanctions DESTROYED the European economy:

Before 2022, European industrial energy and gas prices were slightly more expensive than America's, and fairly close to Chinaโ€™s.

Since then, industrial energy prices in Europe have become 158% more expensive than in the US and European industrial gas prices are 345% greater than those in America.

Gap between Europe and China has also SURGED, which helps explains why many German companies have begun outsourcing production to China.

๐Ÿ”ธThe US has lost nearly half its machinists since 2000, the average age among machinists is 47

๐Ÿ”ธ77% of American manufacturers say they have a difficult time attracting and retaining machinists

๐Ÿ”ธUS National Association of Manufacturers forecasts a shortage of 2.1 million factory workers by 2030

๐Ÿ”ธ
This crisis could theoretically be mitigated by large-scale automation and a concerted push to get young Americans to seek factory jobs, but 1) US is far behind China in terms of industrial robots, 2) No one is doing anything to persuade American Zoomers to become machinists

This Bloomberg map shows how the US intends to limit access to AI-relevant hardware like NVIDIA chips:

๐Ÿ”ธTier 2 encompasses a majority of the worldโ€™s countries, including India, Poland, the UAE, and Portugal.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Trump is demanding Ukraine's RARE EARTH METALS in exchange for continued military aid

Pre-2014 Ukraine was a top global suppliers of mineral resources๐Ÿ‘‡:

๐Ÿ”ธIt boasted of 20,000 mineral deposits, covering 116 types of minerals with a value of $12 trillion

๐Ÿ”ธ8.4M tons of titanium ore reserves, between 10-20% of the total global reserves

๐Ÿ”ธHolds 500,000 tons of discovered lithium reserves, used in the production of many batteries

๐Ÿ”ธIs also a top producer of gallium in the world to produce semiconductors and LED

There's one major problem with Trump's demand much of former Ukraine's mineral wealth is now controlled by Russia (biggest concentration of rare earth metals is in Donetsk and Lugansk)

Why are Ukraineโ€™s mineral resources strategically important?

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณChina accounts for TWO THIRDS of the worldโ€™s rare earth metals production

๐Ÿ“ŠIf the US wants any hope of competing with China, it needs guarantee access to the other one third of global production

In December, Turkish-backed jihadists overthrew Assad and seized power

Now the new Syrian regime is offering to host Turkish airbases and give Turkish companies lucrative reconstruction contracts

But all is not well for Erdogan:๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”ธTurkey never fully trusted Jolani and HTS. After all, Jolani was โ€œeducatedโ€ at an American prison camp in Iraq

๐Ÿ”ธKurdish problem: If Turkey does nothing, it will have a de-facto Kurdish state on its borders. If it goes on the offensive, it could find itself on a collision course with the US (too risky)

๐Ÿ”ธCollapse of Assad has enabled Israel to make a big landgrab in Syria and there's not much Turkey can do to stop Netanyahu

๐Ÿ”ธPossible rift with Qatar: Both Turkey and Qatar helped HTS seize power, but Qatar has more money to spend on buying influence. Donโ€™t be surprised if Qatar tries to make a powerplay in Syria at Turkeyโ€™s expense
