I will disagree strongly with that. Almost every non-military and non-aircraft production system and logistics chain in the US involves large parts of East Asia - (in historical order of when they became part of US logistics) Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Phillipines, Malaysia, China, and now VietNam.

Europe is pretty similar.

Russia still has a degree of isolation on some products, but they don't produce much that is competitive.

This means a North Korea attack on South Korea would shut down at least a third of the electronics production in China (actually more like >80%) about a third the auto production in Japan and China, and have nasty effects on a dozen other industries in China, like ship building and construction.

After trade stops, the US lifestyle might recover to mid 1950s after a few years.

Besides, I would miss eating bananas...
