I wish we could sit down and have chai over this. This is a really well-written post and you're right, so much more to come. I am going to go back and read it again, my favorite quote so far: "It seems to me that we like to claim the moral high ground more than occupy it." Although the title of this piece is going to get that song stuck in my head...Thanks for writing!

I heard that the US GDP is 8 times Japan’s, last time Trump was in office it was 4x. Similar relative power differential with Europe, Russia, etc. He knows how and loves to use leverage to make deals. I’m hopeful he’ll make some great economic deals for us—ones that Harris wouldn’t think to make because that’s not democrat party focus.
