If the US indeed invade Greenland, NATO would be deadly embarrassed. The European members of it are like "why should we pay for a robber to rob ourselves?".

I think China is still overwhelmingly dominant in the processing of heavy rare earth elements, which are indispensable for high-performance permanent magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines, among many other uses.
Good question.
You can't make this sh*t up. The article in question is from the New York Times.
That kill line article is on NYT front page I think:
Also on Political:
Alex in Seattle who triggered this has enough sense to know he's now being used as a tool for beatdown from both sides of the political divide so he immediately pack up shop and left for China to avoid the heat.

whats this "kill line"? is this like the "lie flat" obsession they had on CN before?
This is a concise, generalized description from a Chinese international student in the US about the phenomenon of downward class mobility in America:
An ordinary person can lose their job due to an unexpected event like a car accident, then lose their housing, then become unable to find any decent work again, turn into a homeless person, then resort to drugs and selling blood/plasma, and finally die.
The core meaning is that average Americans have extremely weak resilience against risks—a single sudden setback can make it impossible for them to ever return to a stable, secure life.
