why did US allow China to end up gaining a monopoly on rare earth metals if most of our technology is dependent on it? Are our leaders that dumb

Why did the US let China invade Tibet and Xinjiang?

At least the US is saving the Earth by killing itself, the global market and capitalism with it.

Comparative advantage. Same reason your barber is a barber and not also a farmer. Not everything is a zero-sum game as magatards say.

Canada and Greenland have plenty but the US chose to alienate them which is fucking hilarious particularly with Canada since if you look at the trade agreements Canada was basically not just giving the US pretty much every natural resource for free but also importing massive amounts US-made products (mostly food like alcohol, tobacco, sauces and snacks and pretty much all your fruit and veg) and paying out the nose for it.
The US literally had to do fucking nothing and it would've continued to print money.

The US has plenty. The problem is regulatory bodies made it impossible to mine or process them.

because
1. china have lots of of ecologically sterile areas that also happen to contain the richest deposits of these minerals in the world
2. they don't give a fuck about mining them
3. no one wants to mine rare earths because of the sheer amount of pollution they generate

Drooling retards like you are why the US can't compete. It's become impossible to build anything in the US because drooling, obese leftists and niggers have captured regulatory bodies and make you wait for months if not years just to open the site up for construction. And then once you think you're making progress, they take it all back and tell you there were changes and now you have to redesign everything and redo all the paperwork and approvals and start the process all over again. This literally happened to Microsoft's data center at Caledonia. It happened to US Steel with their plant upgrade in West Mifflin. And it's going to get worse and worse every year. The US has regulated everything off the edge into oblivion. The reason why tech thrives in the US is because that was the last thing that could thrive but now that's running into problems too.

problem with it, gweilo? next time don't play trade wars

Because the jews can't blend in and infiltrate china as easily as they can with the US.
