Connection thesis
Pentagon rare-earth dependency crisis (8-month timeline to break China's grip) is entering acute phase. This geopolitical supply-chain pressure will force accelerated U.S. domestic rare-earth mining and processing investment, benefiting domestic materials and defense contractors. The regulatory/policy tailwind is now measurable and urgent rather than abstract.
