We won't be able to nuke China, that's where we get our steel from. And it's from steel where we get missiles.

Now, I hate to see an American president chummy up with dictatorships, but I recognize that diplomacy is necessary, and so take no alarm at the photo. But that has to be the dumbest thing any FReeper ever wrote.
Steel is not a natural resource. It comes from processing iron. We are a net producer of iron. We do not make very much of our own steel anymore because the Chinese and Japanese dumped steel on our market below cost until they drove our steel industry out of business. If you've ever actually worked with tools, you know the difference between Asian steel and American steel: If you've ever twisted the blade of a screwdriver, that was Asian steel. American steel is about twenty times stronger.
