You're really not going to find a lot of people who actually think bullying Ukraine for their Rare Earth metals is the best solution. Those people either think Ukraine should "Pay back" the US for military help rendered, or want to hurt Ukraine in support of Russia.

Those are in fact people who want to hurt Ukraine in support of russia

And proudly so, but I still expect they all have motives beyond what makes the most economic sense, even if their thin excuse says otherwise.

The problem is that those people aren't in charge. The idiots are running the show and the chief idiot can’t do anything except bully.
