#1 Interesting, if wordy, analysis.

#2 And as usual, there are significant lies of omission in that the Bidencrat administration is the same machine that's been kneecapping domestic aluminum production by way of energy policy over the past decade and a half.

So many faces, each coming with multiple sides of their mouth, from both Russians and Das Bidens, that we have to put up with.

#3 Doubtful. Aluminum is made where electricity is cheap since it takes a lot of it to move from bauxite. Russia had plenty of energy available as does the US (for now. Fuck you enviros)

The US imported such a small amount as most of our bauxite comes from Australia, Brazil and Canada. All friendly nations and Australian bauxite is cheaper now that they have stopped shipping theirs to China. So, we really don't need Russia.

Nice fantasy though.
