Oceans are nice, for sure. But if you're reliant on China and others for all of your manufactured goods including semi-conductors, you're in for a world of pain, oceans or not.

Likewise, oil and gas aren't all that helpful if you can't get them out of the ground because your equipment is broken and all the replacement parts are made in China.

I say this as a patriotic American. Comparisons to WWII are fairly off-base because in the 1930's and 40's we were much less reliant on foreign countries for manufactured goods.

You have it backwards, China is deathly dependent on semi-conductor imports. And what replacement parts are you imagining of? Be specific. Because the US has plenty of manufacturing capability for just about anything that comes to mind for Oil and Gas.
