Our manufacturing base is destroyed could we at least manufacture at a WW2 level after a war?

SP1 thanks for the up date and all the good advise! Thanks also for a forum for those who have no where else to spout, ” disinformation” or “hate”.

To be sure we have little of our old manufacturing base and if we get an EMP we will have nearly none! Prep and pray.

Now, I would gladly give up the west coast, but I am a curmudgeon.
All we need to do to defend our country is send our troops to the border, where the real invasion is!

I am old and stupid, and I don’t understand how killing people in third world countries across the planet or starting a war with Russia is in anyway defending our country or freedom! I have listened to all the excuses for the last sixty years for all the wars we have been in, and I don’t buy any of it!

The enemies of America, freedom and the constitution, are all in Washington!

In the beginning of the second world war, the American military strategy was to abandon Washington, Oregon and california. The idea was that there were enough citizens with firearms to at least delay the Japanese invasion if it came. The line of defense that was established, was the natural barrier….the Rockies.
Thus that should be the point at which we stop them. If any liberals take offense to this simply escort them to the western side of the divide and tell them to have a pleasant day and not to attempt re-entry to the eastern side. Once the ability is presented we take the west coast back.
