Strategic doesn’t mean just military. It means strategically investing in this capacity so you don’t get caught with your pants down when Russia turns off the tap and destroys your economy overnight. We’re past the globalist world now, and if your country is still making decisions as if we are, you’re not doing it right.
that’s only true if you’re a trump supporter, it’s absolutely true if you’re not. There are most definitely concerns to be had, as there always are, but globalism is fundamentally good for the economy. There is no world in which this isn’t true, so you should push towards globalism, even if there is some risk, because it will likely stabilize relations significantly.
The pandemic and Ukraine shows you can’t just count on global markets in a crisis, and we’re heading into a world with more, not less crises. Countries everywhere are onshoring critical industries, and the BRICS countries are working on getting off the dollar. That’s happening whether Trump is President or not (and unfortunately he is).
the pandemic was really the only significant player here, since it stopped world trade.
Sure russia is a fair example, but here in the US we barely felt it, and we did pretty quickly close up the trade problems.
i’m sure countries are moving away from it, and ensuring industry a bit, that’s not surprising, it happens everytime. It’s going to get outsourced later eventually. And they’re not going to onshore every single industry either, it’s simply not possible.
