I used to deal with that sort of thing everyday in my line of work because that was my line of work.

One of the down falls of Great Britain was started by them giving up most of their merchant marine to foreigners.

This is analogous of sending all our manufacturing to China.
How did that turn out.

The downfall of Great Britain was that it was a tiny island nation to begin with, and as the world shrank they became increasingly reliant on colonies in foreign lands populated by people who didn't see themselves as British. That's not globalism. That's simply the natural limitation of a tiny nation.

No, it's not. In fact, as far as Hawaii and Alaska are concerned the Jones Act probably makes them more reliant on foreign-sourced materials and products -- simply because the cost of domestic shipping is prohibitively high. See the example I gave earlier in this thread.
