Responding to this thread: >>523883198The answer is yes, Cambodia could easily have taken on such advanced manufacturing, just as Americans could, just as they should, but instead of America (or Cambodia) they heavily invest the prerequisite resources into Israel and subsidise their goods (with Jewish and Anglo merchants in America strongly preference Jewish goods to the detriment of everyone else) so that any withdrawal from Israel would actually *hurt* America.It's just like the Greatest Ally meme: the US didn't need a Greatest Ally in the Middle East before Israel, but the US government made decoupling nearly impossible and now US foreign policy is designed to protect Israel so that they don't suffer from their over-reliance on Israel necessary from what Israel puts them through.Tl;Dr America doesn't manufacture high tech goods as a sort of subsidy to Israel's economy
