I believe we can cast or create parts identical. However I do believe in capitalism - best part at best price. I don't know how to cope with an uneven playing field. On the other hand I personally would be a hyprocrypt to prescribe to two wrongs make a right. Above my pay grade. As far as WW2 no other industrialized country was in the position we were due to the fact of our location remote from the battle fields and other frontliners having the misfortune of their infrastructures being wiped out.
