technology.....

Think about how many systems worldwide run on Intel or AMD processors, and how many of them run Windows...

Our aerospace technology is unrivaled. Maybe in the lab it's close, but nobody can produce...

Our Navy is as large as the navies of the next 17 largest countries combined.

We lead the way in UAV (though many other countries have them). We will be the first country with UAV fighters, despite protests of the Air Force pilots.

We lag in robotics, but aren't that far behind...

Your #7, yes we produce many exotic military applicatons, but so many of the engineers involved are foreigners. BTW, France, yes France, contributes many exotic components to our aerospace systems, especially space systems components. Their technology is first rate.

As far as microprocessors, we do produce most of them, but they are assembled overseas. The motherboards are primarily foreign designed and manufactured, so are many of the chipsets that support those microprocessors.

Yeah, all financed by Chinese purchases of Treasury bonds. See the problem?
