re: #102 Targetpractice

It’s not 1918, America isn’t so self-sufficient that it could afford to withdraw back to its own borders and function in anything but a disjointed manner. We need our allies as much as they need us, in some cases more because we rely upon them for the raw materials that we turn into finished products for our domestic market, and countries like Russia would be eager to move in and cut that lifeline.

Bingo. I realize the way I wrote that comes off as the world needing the US and the US not needing them. Just want to clarify, that wasn’t my intended message. It’s been a long week, so forgive me for being a bit scatterbrained.
