I would really feel safer if the US could become self sufficient. In the event of another world war, would we be able to supply ourselves with everything we need? I doubt it considering in that war our enemies would probably include China and southeast Asia. In fact, I doubt we would have the raw materials and manufacturing infrastructure or a skilled enough workforce to do what we did in WWII. Someone tell me I’m wrong.

In the event of another World war, the US, led by our current crop of politicians, would either use it to seize complete power, then declare us neutral, or wave the white flag to the first enemy soldier who set foot on our shores. You honestly believe people who daily spout off about how evil we are and how we’re responsible for all the ill of the world are going to go to war to defend the US?
