    You read too much bullshit. The US is the second-largest manufacturer on the planet, after China. We have quite a lot of industry still. Nor was “rust bowl” ever a term, which you’d know if you were an American.

    If Russian production is so plentiful, where are all the T-90s? Seems to me a major producer of materiel wouldn’t be needing to field its T-64’s in a modern conflict.

      Unfortunately, you’re not well-informed. Probably a NAFO too. Are you a NAFO?

      The 1990s marked a significant period of transition for American manufacturing, with the movement of production to China leading to substantial job losses and economic decline in the Rust Belt. However, recent trends suggest a potential resurgence in manufacturing, driven by global economic shifts and a focus on domestic production.

        That’s a region. It’s also not what you said, you said rust bowl. You know bowls and belts are different things, right? Belts hold your pants up, bowls are dishes you eat food out of.
