Only to be torn a new asshole by our 45 President of these United States, the truth is the left has NO one strong enough.
Globalism is a thought shared by scumbags, Trump can do anything he wants except war with Vladimir Putin.

Um, business is business. These companies would sell their souls to the devil if it makes money.

What is wrong with US companies selling products into foreign markets, making money for US share holders?

Absolutely nothing but they do it not with the national interest at stake but their own.

How is a US company making money for US share holders and paying good wages to US workers not in the national interest? Who does a US company owe allegiance to other than its stock holders? What is "national interest" and how do we measure it?

The road to globalism is paved with gold...until you eventually hit the gravel.

I am talking about economic globalism. You are talking about political globalism. There is no necessary connection between the two.
Politicians confusing the two can do great economic harm to consumers.

But, realistically, can there truly be one without the other? What makes you think that power-hungry, greedy politicians would not want in on global trading?

They want in under any situation. Economic globalism lessens the political power of any one nation, it doesn't increase it.

But not of any elite group of nations. Think "cartel".

You mean like OPEC? How are they doing these days?
Or the European Union?
You have still provided no argument or reasoning to show that economic globalism leads to, or requires, political globalism.
