china and russia are slowly cutting raw material exports to the nato/west who has very little manufacturing base and capabilities. let alone mining. no one will invest in building factories and mines because the east can start exports again and make those investments awash. and there is no skilled or willing(=lazy spoiled people) available anyway. the east has the west by the balls. it is happening at snail pace but a river can move mountains.
