Grim, WW3 is close to our doorsteps is a eye opening statement! Where do you info to derive at that? Russia cutting us off with exotic metals is a fact that actually reiterates what they have been doing for yrs. We have been getting those resources mainly from where we can now, if our own production cant meet demand. Russia's economy would be tantamount to N. Korea if we stopped trade with them. Russian people are living in poverty right now. My wife processes 100's of them through the welfare system & they tell her stories of the blight. I agreee the world is in dire straights, but WW3?
