RE:June 14 2023...U.S. Government, DoD, Policy...Please readInteresting read. Unfortunately, a lot of talk, not much money. If you can access the Bloomberg article that I posted, the authors point out that the defense critical materials stockpile is worth less than a billion; at the begining of the cold war, it was 42 billion, adjusted for inflation.
US gov is polarized and cannot do anything useful.
