If you don’t know less than 50% of Americans have a passport. The ones who don’t, I really see the limitation in their thinking. They never saw that most of the world is in fact freer than them, has a better system in place for their people, and doesn’t have some of the major problems that America has. I’m currently in a country where over 90% of items are made in that country. America (made in China) can’t comprehend this efficiency. P.S. I’m American

The thing that gets me though is how dangerous many Americans say other parts of the world is without having ever been there lol. I travel and I’ll tell you America is the MOST dangerous country outside of warzones. Yes even more dangerous that Arab countries for women. Lol I know that propaganda is in a lot of Americans minds.

OK so who’s actually been outside the country and can talk geopolitics and actually know from experience what they are talking about?

      Cuba then? Even NK trades a lot with China. Developed countries import cheap stuff from undeveloped countries. Undeveloped countries import a lot of technical, complicated to produce stuff from developed countries, because it’s hard to bootstrap that kind of production from scratch.

      Just three words isn’t a lot to work with, which is probably why you’re being downvoted.

          Alright, that’s fair.

          Yeah, a lot is produced for export, though. Like that would be true of Vietnam, for example. All to get that forex to import things Vietnam doesn’t make much of. There’s literally only two passenger jet manufacturers, for example.
