> Beyond that, Tesla effectively invented the EV consumer category. Apple did the same for smartphones. Nvidia remains dominant in GPU chips and is the most valuable company in the world. America has invented, and then dominated, every new industry of the past 30 years.

Stopped reading here, not worth your time when the author can't even come up with solar and batteries where China is more dominant than the US is in any of the categories named above. EV is now dominated by China too, so the quoted text is even more ridiculous. Might as well go write AI slop as it has the same value.

> On the security side, as the U.S. shores up vulnerabilities in Venezuela and Iran and decapitates China-aligned drug cartels in Mexico, it has done so while reestablishing a credible military deterrence, making clear to China and the whole world that U.S. military tech remains vastly superior, American security partnerships are valuable, and Trump is far more risk tolerant than his predecessors.

I always wonder if people who write stuff like this actually believe what they write.

Trump has destabilized the world order that has been the foundation of America's economic and military dominance. To call what is happening "shoring up vulnerabilities" is insane.

A good analysis, although many will find its praise of the Trump Administration's foreign policy hard to accept, given Trump's dangerous autocratic tendencies and his Administration's incompetence in domestic governance...but the Pentagon has long been clear eyed and prepared for different geopolitical scenarios, and found a receptive administration at a time of clearly heightened geopolitical struggles. Honestly, the biggest weakness here is the assumption that many of these strategies began with Trump, when in fact many were emerging under Biden...by this, what I mean, is that it has less to do with politics and the current President, and more about the long term planners and strategists coming to clear concensuses on how to proceed
