Yeah I knew it was mostly rare earth metals and some amount of oil. I was just surprised to not see them on the list because it seems to be focused on USD value of natural resources.
Nevertheless it is an interesting chart, so thank you.

It puts U.S. foreign policy in perspective.
The thawing Arctic is opening access to even more, which is why Trump wants Canada and Greenland.

Yeah, it ought to be in there between China and Iran, just based on mineral wealth. Makes the whole list suspect, tbh. Went to check the sources on Statista, but they want me to register before they’ll show me, so fuck that.

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.
