Saying "one country shouldn't be reliant on another" is as stupid as saying "one person shouldn't be reliant on another".

At a very basic level it's true, but if you want to have a wealthy society, you need to trade. Free trade allows for specialization and highly efficient markets.

I didn't build this phone, I didn't build the house I live in, I didn't build my car, I didn't pave the roads, I didn't code Bitcoin, I didn't build the plane or sail the ship which transports goods I consume.

If I tried to do all of that on my own, I might be able to figure out some of it, but most of it is completely beyond me and I would be incredibly inefficient.

Cutting yourself off from the world and restricting trade makes your life harder. And in the US, it shows a complete lack of understanding about why we are able to get so many cheap goods in the first place (we own the money printer).
