Technically we are. We won't be out in our lifetimes, to my knowledge, but we aren't making more helium. Once its gone, its gone. So, it is running out, but on what time scale?

When will the human race start slowing down? Its eventually just going to get crazy expensive and only used when vital. And we're filling party balloons with it.

The US already sold their reserves.

semiconductors is most critical industry. US is an equal producer to Qatar (33% of supply each), and it is made from LNG (part that doesn't liquify) byproduct.

Their only strategy is to escalate and try to look stronger.

Now, the US military is not something to scoff at, but they’ll eventually end up escalating to nukes and threats of nukes, because there’s no way to win.

If Iran had nukes none of this would be happening.

Would it be comical? If they had nukes and were backed into a corner they would likely use them.

In fact we can infer from US/Israel's willingness to attack now that their intelligence must be telling them that they do not have nukes.
