🚨 Before China, There Was Japan: The Original U.S. Trade War That Changed Everything.

Today, everyone’s talking about tariffs, tech bans, and the U.S.-China showdown. But few remember that America has fought this battle before — and nearly lost.

Back in the 1980s, Japan wasn’t just an ally. It was an “unstoppable” Asian rival, and America’s biggest economic threat. Its cars crushed Detroit. Its electronics flooded U.S. homes. Its factories outpaced American giants. Sound familiar?

Are we repeating history—or facing something far more dangerous? This is a history lesson you can’t afford to miss.
