Yes it will take time to achieve any results, but economic prosperity and theism are inversely related, and theism in places like Pakistan is really fucked up and needs to be eliminated or at least marginalized. Explain 1980s televangelism, and the aftereffects of it.
Offshoring is a recommendation, and they aren't talking about oil.
Just ban Asia/FTA's and all proxies for US/EU

Regionalization does work, and it has kept the bots out of regions where they've actually gotten on top the game versus just letting goldfarmers violate the rules endlessly.
As long as any buildout requires an imposed moratorium on offshoring(on all jobs) for at least 20-30 years, requires strong checks on citizenship, and has an (not passable to anyone else) early termination fee/violation fee determined by the taxation on all foreign held assets taxed at a >100% rate, sure. Repeat requirements in a large enough region to prevent needless state-state warfare.
The US should stay the hell away from the internal affairs of other sovereign countries. That does not mean they walk in ours, walk out with jobs, dump currency, buy votes as a nonvoting class, buy controlling chunks of US companies with their government funds, and have systemic problems with human rights that are far worse than the US(and have US companies that are complicit in these violations).
That is when it becomes our issue. That is when we need to act to remove the interference, with no limit to the action required to remove it.
Yes, China is a threat, and has been so despite what Wall Street wants to think. As for their policies over there, we do have an interest, as they have bought influence yet they are of a nonvoter status in our country. Various reasons include devaluing their currency, persistent lack of detail to quality(flooding the area with junk), various human rights violations that are more extensive than the last few US administrations combined, and an insistence to stay out of their country when they're deep into ours.
They are an economic and military threat, for which may require Wall Street to be pushed aside and stop parceling our country to those who have no right to it. Businesses need to stop screwing with our government- they know not the US or care, which is a problem.
Wall Street as it is now is very close to becoming a foreign and domestic enemy.
...the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles. Just redefine ethics to fit China's unique situations and the problem disappears[/sarcasm]. Economists have no issue with doing that by saying it's "opportunity cost".
To win an electronic, heck any kind of war, all China has to do is to stop shipping electronic and any other goods to the US. After all, that is were all of the stuff comes from these days. Not to mention that most of the corporates have either sold or licensed almost all intellectual property to China in one form or another. You forget that we still have design capabilities and plenty of space ready to restart factories that should never have been closed. We already have plenty of spots in the Rust Belt to start development not to mention the entire Midwest that gets skipped. This time, it'll be Wall Street (not unions) that will have their hand forced, with no escape.
That's also forgetting to mention that we could do more damage by writing off any debt sold off to that country.
Talk about giving a potential enemy all of the sticks they need to beat you over the head with. Well, does it matter that we have a far wider array of sticks capable of anything from headbashing to complete obliteration?
I think that war with China would be a very bad idea for the US as well. We have them thoroughly outclassed in terms of naval and air forces, but that isn't all that helpful while they still have ICBM's. However, we need to negotiate more strongly and less naively, and put some effort into hamstringing China's long term economic growth, probably by cutting them off from oil supplies and imposing some prohibitive tariffs. China's growth is largely what sustains the communist party, and a strong economic downturn over a few years would probably result in a change of government. Well, levelling enough of their country means that they won't be coming back anytime soon. This would also leave a nice, large reminder to other nations to back off. Economics just means it'll be temporary unless you can keep those measures in line permanently. There are too many apologists for Asia that would gladly sell out our national sovereignty that call it globalization.
No better way to hit two birds with one stone than to have something that can cause a nice, large disaster over their country. First, you send them the modified designs, then do so in a way that guarantees mass casualties that are hard to cover up.
Entirely irrelevant to this topic. Go back to DU. Go back to Pajamas Media, the home of the oft-misfired insult and even more closed minded discussions.
Thankfully he'll be remembered for being a miserable failure.
As for China, why not let them make the next Shuttles for us? They virtually make everything else for us. Not with their lack of quality control. On top of that, that shuttle would be suspect from the start for anything related to national security.
Good that they have not just taken the environmentalists at their word (hook, line, sinker). As for the automotive industry, they've been caught and filleted by them.
Now what does it take to get back to a slightly larger (and saner) size for cars under $20-25k instead of stuff that is usually underpowered for the body that it occupies? It's not as if one can't find them after a while in quite good condition - it's that environmentalists are going overboard.
No thank you, but there are some who know not what a US car is. It is not an underpowered Nippon import. It is not a Chinese knockoff. It is not a European inspired ultracompact. It is one that pulls no compromises on size, power and quality, but do not require a first-born for most of the population to afford.
Environmentalists, go fly back to Aspen, Detroit does not want you(your presence is merely tolerated). You've been proven wrong many times over.
You have enlightened parts of the developed world coming down on Google for supporting the regime and those of the regime cutting them down for doing their job. What is that country going to have to do (short of whoring itself out to business) to dislodge itself from that issue?
I hope there's an end run around this. Since the intent is to annoy, the source of it should be able to deal with the consequences that come with the statement.
Never mind those who are claimed to be fanatics, but I'm more concerned about those who paint Islam as a religion only capable of terror. That only has them in just as bad a spot as the ones they're frothing over at.
Let's do it all, and let market forces decide which ones stick (hint: it'll probably be a combination of some of the above). You are looking at entities that are beyond the reach of that. That is, they can overcome distributed thuggery.
No thanks, I'd hope there was a version of this or this walking the earth. At least they'd have the motivation to get rid of that country should that be necessary.
Unlike the Bond movies, they'd have a greater chance of success.

Eventually that place will become a military target when the government turns on said people.

At least it's not marked as disease-causing yet.

Why not just level the nation first, and annex what's left that's clean? It'll make for less objections when we march in.

Now if they harnessed the power of conservative talk radio, they'd have something approximating perpetual motion if not a perpetual energy source.

Not to burst your bubble, but I doubt the CIA would want to find much that puts Cuba's current state in a good light either.
