Re: Global Economy

So what happens when China embargoes us? Military police seizing all electronics in the USA to find components and transistors to build a tank or a radar system or avionics?

Hopefully the tinfoil hat shipment will make it through first.

Seriously though, why would they do this? Their entire economy is tied to our GDP. If they embargoed us, their economy would tank and they know it. All one has to do is look at the global financial collapse to see that we can't go it alone and that policy is absurd. We're in a global economy now whether we like it or not so we should act like it.

Wearing blinders and ignoring a perceived problem won't make it go away, no matter how long we close our eyes and hold our breath.

 Perceived problem? you must be young. What do you think that GDP would look like as a service sector nation? There is a trade war on now, just because you don't recognize that doesn't mean it's not there
