Yes, America is the world’s only superpower, but Americans should have realized how vulnerable our nation is after 9/11. Perhaps for a time, we did. A lot of people have, justifiably in many ways, given George W. Bush flack for how the wars he launched in Iraq and Afghanistan played out. However, strategically, one of the things he was trying to do was draw the terrorists into conflicts with American soldiers overseas, rather than having them focus their efforts on launching attacks at civilians in America. For the most part, that strategy worked.
My husband is on a slew of meds. Many are generics. I just randomly picked 3. 1 is manufactured in Germany and 2 are manufactured in Ireland of all places. My generic benadryl is manufactured in India! So many of these drugs also do not give manufacturing country on the label, just distributed by various US states. We really need to ramp up manufacturing for EVERYTHING right here in the USA. As Trump would say: Jobs Jobs Jobs!

Hmm...I think there's a word for giving aid and comfort to an enemy....can't think of what it is, though...it's right on the tip of my tongue... ;)
It's as though the leadership (ha! what a travesty the government, and the people who elect them, has made of that title) want America to fail.
Even better the second time around.
