That train of thought used to be true, but with the EU and Russia, it seems not to be true as much.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. The US can get along without Apple (although 401K's might take a big hit), but China without Apple would be a pretty big issue, even if you only look at it from an employment viewpoint.

That train of thought was used to argue that a big war was impossible in Europe ... in 1913. Politics is not economics and economics is not politics. It takes a very deep ignorance of history to think otherwise.
