A distracted, divided U.S. is no match for China’s long-term plan for domination
The only way the US can win is by moving past the culture wars and returning to an accelerating society. Other Western countries have already given up (Germany, Italy, and Portugal have sided with China by signing up for the Belt and Road and using Huawei equipment. Probably more countries to come)<p>I really hope the chaos we&#x27;re going through is a cathartic release from the period of economic stagnation that we&#x27;ve been in for the past 40 - 50 years. I disagree with AOC on almost everything but her Green New Deal had one aspect worth praising. There was a bit harking for a return to American Greatness (Apollo program, etc.) Not too far from Trump&#x27;s &quot;Make America Great Again&quot;. The US is still united in its underlying goals but people are divided on how we get there.<p>&quot;Americans will always do the right thing.&quot; - Winston Churchill.<p>The US is returning to space again, this time built on the ambitions of two of the world&#x27;s most successful living entrepreneurs (Bezos and Musk). Perhaps this will be the inspiring force driving Americans back to a focus on technological innovation. Anything is possible, but this is my bet.
