Americans are obnoxiously patriotic, this is common knowledge. They should be more like Germans, in Deutschland such crass displays of nationalistic chauvinism are looked down upon and rightly so.

>why are you patriotic? Ve are not like zat in Germany

80s Japan was to the US was China is today. In both cases, instead of competing fairly on an economic ground, Americans decided to just try to destroy their rival. In the case of Japan, it was a success and their economy has been stagnating since the 90s. China will win this time, though.

Ironically Japan makes most of their US sold cars in the US now. They've had a manufacturing plant in my state since the late 80s.

More like "got betrayed and sabotaged by their government in favor of foreigners"

>>18436246
(the betrayal was allowing competition to exist against their inferior product)
