Madman or visionary?

In recent weeks, partly due to developments in international geopolitics, there has been increasingly intense discussion about “rare earths”. Despite the name, however, this does not refer to a specific territory, but to a group of 17 chemical elements that have become indispensable for modern technologies.

The fourth industrial revolution, which the world is about to experience with the development of AI, has made control of the rare earths market essential for the most industrialized countries, in order to prevent the advantage accumulated by China over the years from becoming, in the short term, an irreversible factor, with potentially very dangerous consequences.

With the likely crisis between the United States and Europe that we will soon experience regarding the Greenland issue, what is unfolding is nothing more and nothing less than a replay of events already recorded during previous industrial revolutions.

And so, if during the first industrial revolution, which took place between the 18th and 19th centuries, the great European powers fought over coal, an essential material for the development of industry at the time, during the second, which occurred a century later, they began to do so over oil.

Toward the end of the last century, with the development of the Internet and technology, the microchip became the new dominant economic weapon, with a material such as silicon at the center of the dispute, while today we are witnessing a repositioning of the geopolitical chessboard oriented precisely toward the search for rare earths.

Greenland is considered by the United States a strategic island for future trade routes and national defense, but also and above all for its abundance of rare earths, which are fundamental for the development of advanced chips and the hardware of data centers tasked with training AI systems.

As already mentioned, China currently controls most of the rare earths market, and dependence on a single supplier has raised alarm bells within the Trump administration, given the future risks faced not only by technological innovation, but also by entire sectors such as defense and energy.

Hence the question of all questions: is Donald Trump simply a reckless madman, as mainstream thought portrays him, driven by egocentrism, repressed anger, megalomania, and similar traits, or a president who truly cares about the future of his nation and the well-being of the citizens he governs?

Everyone may draw their own conclusions.
