Hawaii is reliant on the mainland US for the bulk of its food imports AFAIK, not a global network. It’s also in an insanely strategically valuable position. If shipping between the mainland US and Hawaii has stopped for a month, US aircraft carriers have been sunk. Nuclear weapons have most likely been used. You’ve absolutely got a point here about the fragility built into the current system, it just doesn’t nearly apply as much to Hawaii due to other factors.
