Free trade leads to things beeing produced where they are the cheapest to make. If you listen to Pat Buchanan or William Luther Pierce than you will know that this also leads to economic dependence of one country to another.

The US is currently unable to fight a big prolonged war against someone who is able to fight back. Every piece of American military hardware has many foreign made parts in it. In case of such a war the military would for example suddenly find out that there would be no new fighter jets because they require many displays and there is no American company producing any. This example is actually based on a true event where the production of some jet had to be delayed because some foreign company did not deliver any screens on time.

Listen to the video on youtube where (((Milton Friedman))) talks about free trade and how on one knows how to make a pencil:

In the 1980s the US in fact used this as a tactic against Iran in the Iraq vs. Iran war. Iran had many US made jets but at the beginning of the war the US stoped delivering replacement parts and their whole airfleet was grounded after 3 months.

In the beginning of the current Syrian Civil War there were many "rebels" who spoke french or english with scottish accent. After Russias involement these rebels disappeared and everyone believes that this has something to do with Europes dependence on Russian oil and gas. This is also the reason why the US pushed for a free trade deal in the past. In it there were a few pasages about free trade but most of it dealt with the subject intellectual property. The US tried to make Europe dependent on American made seeds from Monsanto that are sterile in the next generation so that Europe will be forced to buy new seeds from the US every year for all eternity. The intellectual property part would allow Monsanto to confiscate every piece technology that would enable Europe to become independent in its food supply.
