   @meowski @Griffith how so? if guido vermicelli in italy needs quality steel to manufacture US Navy ships he gets it from japan, having the japs making their steel in the US just makes things easier for the italian ship makers.

     @UnityOstara @poastoak @leespringfield1903 @EdBoatConnoisseur @meowski @Griffith because stuff made in the USA is still more accountable to our laws

     @poastoak @leespringfield1903 @EdBoatConnoisseur @meowski @Griffith Why does "made in USA" matter if non Whites are making it?

     @leespringfield1903 @EdBoatConnoisseur @meowski @Griffith "Made in America" means a mexican conpany bought it from a chinese company, swapped all the "made in china" stickers with "made in USA" stickers, trucks them from TJ to LA, locksneed sits on it for 2 months doing """""final assembly""""" and then takes it to DDSD.
     
     I managed a real NIIN that this happened to while I was on active duty

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @meowski @Griffith I thought US military stuff had to be made in America?
     
     But I digress.

     @leespringfield1903 @meowski @Griffith the HIMARS is assembled by lockheed martin somewhere near the border with mexico, the components are made in chengdu in hope that even if the chinks copy them it will be a big jigsaw that they would be unable to assemble.

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @leespringfield1903 @meowski @Griffith seems like a critical dumb decision, what about if they like .. just stop making them

     @leespringfield1903 @meowski @Griffith you know that Texas Instruments makes the electronic components used on the HIMARS in chengdu right?

     @EdBoatConnoisseur @meowski @Griffith I wonder if the Chinese do a pinky promise not to copy every piece of American technology made there.
