No one is likely to help America. It is now a pariah nation

you just have a negative attitude.

nothing is inevitable.

you globalists have always been wrong on this one.

Laughable.

Even if America had the will to reverse its foolish policies, it no longer has the means.

China's lower cost of labor is the decisive factor.

all we need to do is serve our own market and allow no market access to anyone else.

things don;t have to "float on an interntional market".

the Americas have enough natural resources to go it alone.

so fuck off, defeatist.

and go suck your daily gallon of jizz through an anus straw.

Is it the US or Trump? That is the unresolved question. Would they want to return to our pre-Trump status quo, or would they not trust America anymore,

America CANNOT be trusted anymore because it is the voters who are the problem more than Trump or the magat party.

You had Trump run on a theme of retribution and chaos, and the electorate said 'we are down for that', and that tells Canada and the EU and other allies, that even if another more normal Dem takes the POTUS next, the US population might put in another criminal maniac grifter the term after.

That means no country can sign any deals with the US that are long term and require mass investment as someone like Trump who negotiated the USMCS and called the 'best deal ever negotiated' will come in and tear it up while saying 'it was a crap deal and who the hell negotiated it'.

Other countries simply HAVE TO understand that and say 'we can no longer set any multi year plans with the US' and it will take probably a decade or a few for the world to see and believe the electorate has changed.
 
^ the sad truth about the above is CHina is exploiting the Trump chaos and is presenting itself as the Country who is the adult in the room and who other countries can cut deals with and know they will be honored.

Trump is making China stronger.

America has long ago forfeited any expectation of being a trusted partner.

Never again.

I asked Chat GPT instead. Unlike yourself, it has a well-reasoned answer now.

Full withdrawal into total autarky is impractical economically, technologically, and politically.

Why not (concise, major reasons)
  • Economic cost: Autarky eliminates comparative advantage and trade gains; GDP would fall, consumer prices rise, and living standards decline.
  • Complex supply chains: Modern goods (electronics, pharmaceuticals, rare-earth-dependent technologies) rely on globally distributed inputs and specialized production that are costly and slow to replicate domestically.
  • Resource mismatches: The U.S. lacks sufficient domestic reserves of some critical minerals (e.g., many rare earths, certain battery metals) and favorable conditions for all crops everywhere. Import substitution would require large environmental and insurmountable capital costs.
  • Technology and manufacturing scale: Some capacities (semiconductor fabs, advanced chemical intermediates) need decades and enormous investment to scale without international cooperation, which autarky proscribes.
  • Labor and cost structure: Shifting all production onshore would raise labor costs past sustainability and require forcible re-skilling; American industries would become uncompetitive without imports.
  • Geopolitical and security downsides: Cutting trade reduces leverage and alliances, creates supply shocks elsewhere, and incentivizes adversarial blocs, such as BRICS.
  • Innovation and knowledge flows: Openness to international collaboration accelerates R&D; isolation would slow innovation.
Bottom line: Full autarky is economically and practically infeasible.
