Theoretically...

theoretically, how far behind would you fall if you shut yourself off from trade and produced as much as you could locally as a nation in 2016?

all other countries: fall behind 300-400 years
america: jump ahead 100-200 years

These are the cars in cuba.

So I would say about 50 years.

Depends on how much and at what quality you can produce locally and how fast you can remove those deficiencies, which varies from country to country. What kind of answer did you expect you fucking moron? "About 40"?

depends on if your country is capable of producing high development level products.

the us is.

places like china aren't. they need us.

what is a high development level product and what makes the us capable of producing them?

hows your refugee situation?

doesn't america already locally make cars better than that though? why would they get any worse?

Unless you are a continent-sized nation like USA+Canada+Mexico, Russia + former east republics, China, Indian Raj, then you are pretty much completely fucked if you can't trade.

The abovementioned meganations might be able to hold on, but with significant slowdowns.

>depends on if your country is capable of producing high development level products.

Right you are. You are - theoretically - capable. In truth though, you would currently not be able to do so. It would take a few years to get it right, get the lacking industries up and running, but then an isolationist US, would be a viable option. Not one I think would do good, but that isn't the question in this thread.

The only important thing with completely closed borders is being able to produce food.

The second is being able to extract oil.

The third is being able to mine raw materials.

The US has all three. They would survive closed borders, at least as long as the aquifers last (we're destroying them as FAST as possible to suicide the future race war).

>what is a high development level product and what makes the us capable of producing them?
china makes cheap shit really well. they don't make advanced technologies well. the us and europe do. probably japan also. i'm not talking about smart phones i'm talking about industrial technology and advanced.

we already are building and supplying technologies to the world that are only capable of being made here and a few other places.

do you mean via fracking how does that stop a future race war?

Who is this jism prism?

Russia also has all three, but we would be fucked. Because you forgot about technology and infrastructure.

You can't grow crops with benzene contaminated water.

You can't sustain agriculture with corn.

You can't make fuel with corn.

Corn is actually pretty much shit.

The only important question here

i would fall behind her after shutting myself in that room and would produce a whole shitload

depends on the nation's size and resources, the US needs certain materials from other countries. theoretically this could be overcome with future scientific advances but in the near term there are things we simply can't make without buying resources from outside. unfortunately this includes certain electronics components. on the positive side the US doesn't depend on food imports and is largely energy independent due to large reserves of coal, natural gas and uranium, as well as productive shale and tar sands oil fields.

There's a second category of stuff we could technically grow but its just way more efficient to import it , like coffee or chocolate. Anything that grows primarily in tropical climes could be grown in hothouses for a dramatically increased cost.

The US has the benefit of being very large tho cutting itself off from the world would be impossible for most other nations

I guess we would do pretty good, but we would fall behind in someparts. We have Iron, coal, Falurödfärg, potatoes, cows and other important shit

If you mean, in a nation that is starting completely from scratch but doing everything right? I'm guessing about 50-100 years. Basically all the high technologies, including precision manufacturing, semiconductors, chemical would become unavailable and needed to be slowly recreated to reach world level.

Germany would probably fall behind by 15-20 years primarily because we lack a notable semiconductor industry, but on the other hand we have own chemical, steel, agricultural, optical, mechanical, pharmaceutical, mining, ship-building, weapon, electro, automobile industries.

America and other countries would become majorly successful if we produced all our own goods.
All the non-white countries would fall apart.

Australia.

>Step one: no more hand outs to aboriginal community's

>step two: : make many farms and make abos from communitty work in them as well as normal people.

>step 3: refine our own minerals into metals and produce our own goods.

We now have more then enough food to feed everyone and we can also produce all products and run on energy from commodittys in australia while we built alot of Nuclear plants.

>Australia wins and every other country loses including amerifags.

Best part is we are island and can stop you faggots from getting here! all we have to do is defend from asian boats and we are good brah

Just look at Iran and North Korea

All of Scandinavia could survive on its own Sweden Denmark Finland would be fine you just got to get rid of the shitskins

>Finland
>Scandinavia

Triggerd

In comparison, Japan will do better because they seem to have a policy to have at least some domestic presence in every fucking industry branch. They are capable of developing and producing their own CPUs, nuclear reactors, aircraft, tanks, ships. But they will be worse off in energy.

This.

Globalization is an attempt to industrialize 3rd world countries. It's like common core for capitalism. Once you start galvanizing the lowest common denominator, everyone suffers to take on the weight of the less fortunate. Which, in and of itself, is socialism; if you really think about it.

Daily reminder that the reason countries go to war is over resources. If that reason doesn't exist (countries are completely self-sufficient), then there will not be wars.

For a big country like the US? Not at all.

I want to be beaten to death by those juggs.

weve been playing the long con user.

we use everybody elses resources first while the $ is relevant. then when shit hits the fan we start digging into our own reserves.

YAASSS

Holy shit

if it's america, you lose everything. you are trade.

This is surprisingly accurate. I don't think many are aware of this in regards to the USA. Particularly with oil.

Thats a Pshop right? right?

>You can't make fuel with corn.

Umm, user...

That's a Dshop in my opinion

Of course it is,posting non shopped semen demon

>step two: : make many farms and make abos from communitty work in them as well as normal people.
>step 3: refine our own minerals into metals and produce our own goods.
fucking this moit
should've never shut down metal production and greenhouses would flourish with a small amount of water

For one month then?

Germany, ffs. America has the biggest internal market there is. They are even ok with oil production. You on the other hand would go back to middle ages if there is no one anymore to buy your products.

>implying modern cars are better than 1950's American Dream Machines

modern cars are cucked with too many computer assistance features

For this country it would mean a return to pre industrialised times.. We cut down our forests to build ships and windmills, and we literally ran out 300 years ago. We have a few derelict coal mines that we might revive, and we could theoretically dig up more peat to burn.. But in reality we already turned vast parts of our lands into lakes by winning peat, we have no iron ore, no nuclear fuels, no petroleum.. Unless importing resources for production were allowed in OPs scenario we'd be dead or drowning..

Your technological development and manufacturing capacity would suffer from lack of things like copper, uranium, rare earth elements, palladium, etc.

A country like the US or Russia would make do, China would implode, any small country is obviously fucked, but if they're lucky enough to be mountainous they might do as well as North Korea.

>how far behind would you fall

Far. It also would make you a sitting duck in military terms.

We'd struggle to feed 60 million +

Texas here. If we did a little spic culling beforehand to lower the population we could sustain ourselves for centuries on our own resources and production. We could even build a huge wall around Austin and dump all our trash and criminals in there.

post more please and/or sauce

Australia would be alright we would go to nuclear power

You could at least post more of that godess from op post.

I don't think a country the size of the US would necessarily fall behind technologically. It would cost you though. Free trade will always benefit the country as a whole. Cutting yourself off from free trade would probably show up as things becoming more expensive without the wage levels going up. Abruptly ending trade would probably have dramatic effects, since many products simply aren't produced in the US. A modern semiconductor foundry costs several billion dollars to build and the US is hardly a world leader. The initial cost for starting up chemical factories, semiconductor foundries, mills etc that the US doesn't do anymore would probably be on the order of trillions of dollars.

London andrews?

WRONG

Wonder if her bf or husband or whoever is fucking her plays overwatch. He either can't get it up at all or is hard as diamond 24/7 and cums so hard it hurts.

Just because you put a patent on dragon dildos won't stop the dutch making one bigger and even more hedonistic.

The US lacks a lot of the luxuries that make life worth living, if you were to go full blown isolationist it would be very boring.

You got global foundries in dresden.

I'm not saying that Australia couldn't do it, but making it sound like you didn't just describe what is basically the sum total of human achievement as if it's anything anyone can do in a couple years if they have the raw materials is kind of silly.

any country as large and ecologically diverse as the US could do well too.

Not far at all. Look at Switzerland. You'd actually be ahead.
