I think at this point it's clear that the United States is also the most self-hating country in the world. Our media harps on the exact same pseudo-controversies that Russian trolls use as wedge issues, primarily because people online tend to swallow anything anti-american whole, particularly given the current state of politics.
And this article starts strong with partisan fuckery. It blames Trump:
>President Trump, bizarrely, has so far resisted ordering companies to produce more supplies and equipment
It when the source is clicked it mentions Trump is resisting signing an executive order. Apparently people are upset that Trump isn't acting like a king. But the article takes its swipe and most people won't click the link. The problem is elsewhere in the article. Quite simply it's globalism. If we had local production we could ramp it up just in time. But people let their partisan idiocy get in the way of rational decision making and right now antiglobalism not with the range of socially acceptable discourse... But don't worry, Coronavirus is about to push the political pendulum right.
