China

The question keeps coming up as to what America can do to stop Putin without starting WW 3. The polls show that Americans are willing to make sacrifices. China is the life line for Putin as they are willing to buy oil and gas from Russia. The US can go to China and say if they are not willing to isolate Putin the US will begin the process of bringing all of our production back to the states. This means that China's economy will suffer and the US consumers will pay more for manufactured goods. If China refuses the people in the US must be willing to pay more. Over time this will be a good thing as it will shortened supply chains and the US will no longer be dependent on China for important goods like pharmaceuticals. It will mean high paying manufacturing jobs here in the US. It can be like things were in the 50's with rising wages and costs but unlike today the wages increased faster than prices.
