Episode notes
China Controls Critical Supply Chains
- China controls critical manufacturing and rare earth supply chains that the U.S. relies on, including military components.
- Jack Mallers argues this removes U.S. leverage and forces America to re-industrialize over years, not months.
Rare Earths Are Strategic Choke Points
- China's rare earth export controls can cripple Western defense and auto industries quickly.
- Mallers says this dynamic signals the end of easy military enforcement and the need for domestic production.
Missile Interceptor Shortage Example
- Mallers recounts the U.S. firing many THAAD interceptors during a 12-day conflict, depleting stockpiles.
- He uses this to illustrate how quickly the U.S. can run out of critical military supplies.
