I certainly don't need planes, war stuff nor ships and machinery. The food I eat mostly come from my country, my car is made in countries close to mine and so are the materials used to repair my house... And my gaz is Poutine's.

So I fail to see why I need America at all...

Ah, yeah, one big exception: my computer. Argh!

So you would be happy for the Russians, the Chinese etc. to be able to overfly the UK and send ships into UK waters at will?

You want all the factories using American made machinery, or American inputs to close?
