Seriously. There is not an aircraft manufactured today that could not
get off the ground without foreign parts. Computers are a prime
example, does anyone in the US even make memory parts on American soil,
let alone production or protypes?


Yes, Micron makes DRAM in Boise Idaho. IBM and Intel have state of the
