You're not buying the bit about them needing our market, are you? I mean, seriously. Think about it. We were the absolute strongest when we had all our own industry and all our own, and most of everybody else's, resources. There's no reason the same wouldn't be true for any country that took them from us. And the people who are giving them to them are the same ones who are making trillions off the use of our military, all of whom give exactly no shits what happens to us, so what's the comeback if we bother to complain about it? Oh, right. We're xenophobic.
