We import a large percentage of a lot of stuff, both raw material and
finished goods. Coffee. Rubber. Titanium. Tin. Wolfram. Textiles.
Clothing. And, yes, even oil.


Yup. Some of that isn't a good idea.


Which part is a "not good" idea? Why?


We also export to other countries a large percentage of their needs.
Food (wheat/soy/corn/meat/dairy products). Lumber. Technology.
Education. Medicine.


And again - some of that isn't a good idea.


Whic part is a "not good" idea? Why?

The part where the countries we import from may become our enemies.
Hopefully in the next war, our enemies will sell us the gas, our
uniforms, and if we wait long enough, they might build our tanks and
planes for us! ;^)
