"Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics."
Posted: 31st December 2025
“Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.” The US Military just learned this lesson the hard way.
In this video, we analyze the “Supply Chain War” that has erupted between Washington and Beijing. While the US focuses on financial sanctions, China has just sanctioned 9 major US defense firms and is restricting the export of Antimony—a critical mineral essential for armor-piercing bullets, missiles, and night-vision goggles.
We expose the “Industrial Suicide” of the Pentagon: How the US shut down its own mines to save money, leaving its entire military industrial base 100% dependent on China for critical resources. We look at the “Sanction Boomerang,” the failure of the US National Defense Stockpile, and why the “Arsenal of Democracy” is running on empty.
The US has the money. China has the minerals. And in a real war, you can’t build missiles out of paper.
