    I guess time will tell. But if there's one thing that US is famous for, its the sudden mass mobilization of the MIC.

      Yeah, but that was under governments that hadn't gradually privatized and devolved all their power until they were husks that purely funneled taxes into creating orphans overseas

      Nowhere near the amount of machinists, engineering techs, etc to work in those plants like back in the cold war.

      America has plenty of engineers and scientists, but it would take 12-18 months to train enough folks who actually know how to work the lathes.
