Game, Set, Match: Beijing Takes Control of Iron Ore, Aussie Trade Surplus on the Line
For twenty years, China’s property boom made iron ore king. Skyscrapers, subways and highways turned BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale into the world’s most powerful miners. Beijing had no choice but to pay in US dollars, follow London based annual Platts benchmark prices, and swallow whatever contract terms the Pilbara pushed their way. That era’s […]
The West is Silencing the Bacon and Prophet Jokes Because It’s Losing
China holds the Rare Earths and renewables chokepoint, Russia dominates Uranium and HALEU, and Muslim nations control Oil. The West is losing its grip on the 21st century.

🇵🇱 Poles When the “Rules-Based Order” Dies, So Does NATO’s Guarantee. Poland Might soon become the Indians of Eastern Europe
