Of course we can't retain our Superpower status. It's questionable if we can even maintain our sovereignty. Global Trade has in effect cut us off at the knees. How do we protect ourselves when every nation under the sun makes our weaponry and the parts to make or repair such? We are in a very precarious position as a nation. Yet the Globalists control all the power. They control our politicians. They even control our money.

The United States can't even build the components for its nuclear power plants anymore. Large steam turbine rotors are built in France (I wanna puke!) and in England. Replacement steam generators are made in Europe and Japan. All the large component replacements are built overseas and shipped here. We no longer have the expertise or the facilities to build these large metal forgings.
