You will never get industry back in the US. We will become the low cost provider before that happens.
You are thinking too jingoisticly. America, is run by the oligarchs. This was most evident with the BS the House pulled right after the election. When the oligarchs run things, they only care about their money and power. It doesn’t matter where it comes from.
China is trying to bail out Russia. They will agree to oil and other resource trades that do not include the dollar. That will send billions back to the U.S. that will not bode well for us.
Russia can turn off the gas spigot to Europe. The U.S. has a lot of Nat gas, but we cannot transport it to Europe effectively. And we will not have that capacity for a long time.
The pieces are getting lined up against us. Europe will have to decide pretty soon which way they are going.
I agree China will be the emerging power. But it’s the Russian Bear and Putin who will start the process.

Unfortunately there are some here on FreeRepublic who cling to the mid-20th century notion that those big ponds on the east and west coast can isolate the United States from the rest of the world, and if we just bring back big smokestack companies like Studebaker and Packard, everything would be honky-dory.
