If you're 80% self-sufficient, you're not self-sufficient.

If you're 80% self-sufficient, you're not self-sufficient.
These 20% will still make you dependent on foreign country.
For example Germany was dependent on Russian gas (before year 2022), which they later swapped for dependency on US LNG. In addition, Germany is dependent on China for PV panels.
