If COVID-19 didn’t move the needle on how dependent we are on foreign countries to do our scut work.
I highly doubt the precipice of war will change anything. We are a species that will optimize for the shortest path. Cutting corners along the way. When it blows up on our faces and while sitting on a pile of ashes, will ponder “wtf did we do wrong”.

"Some companies and governments pursue friendshoring as a way to continue accessing international markets and supply chains while reducing certain geopolitical risks... Bonnie Glick first used the term "allied shoring" at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, while serving as the deputy administrator of the United States Agency for International Development... The new U.S. Trade Policy, including USMCA and IPEF, complies with the Friendshoring arrangement." [1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendshoring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendshoring
