Japan could run out of yttrium within months unless China eases its export controls, according to the Financial Times, and has asked the US for help.

    The US can attempt an invasion of Canada, though.

        True as well, but afaik, Canada has a considerably large amount of proven RE reserves, basically the most after China and Russia.

        My numbers there might be slightly off, but I’d be thinking Central and South America would be primarily getting couped for oil or perhaps farm/pasture land.

          Doesn’t Brazil have the most after China?

            If this is accurate, then yes, you are evidently correct, and I did not know that.

            So thanks for spurring me to look into it!

            If I’m understanding this right, Canada likely has more than Brazil overall, but Brazil’s are proven, located, and extraction is more mature, whereas Canada’s are still in the exploration phase, thus are not yet proven.

            Rare earth as in rare earth metals I’d assume based on context.
