US and China Win the Resource Race, Europe Left Behind

The global competition for control over minerals, logistics, and raw materials is reshaping world power. According to geopolitics expert Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega, this geoeconomic race currently benefits the United States and China. Europe is falling behind. The expert states that dependencies on everything from minerals to currencies and semiconductors are now being “weaponized.” This means countries are using these resources as tools of power and influence. This shift has a direct impact on how major powers rebuild their defense capabilities. As the US and China secure supplies, Europe struggles to keep pace, leaving its security and economic position at risk.
