1/ To play devils advocate on recent events, and try to make a good faith defense of the Trump administrations actions: Since 2001, the US has been occupied by a non stop series of events that, at the time, seemed extremely urgent, but in retrospect, probably didn’t really matter. 2001 Counter terrorism in Afghanistan 2003 Preemptively invading Iraq Counter insurgency for the next 10 years 2011 Arab spring = supporting fledgling democracies in the Middle East 2014 Russia annexes Crimea 2015 Syrian civil war Iran nuclear deal, Palestine questions, etc, etc. All the while, China has become a growing threat to the American way of life. https://youtu.be/vskdv9eH8kQ?si=vDo7g2k_Peamar4M&t=287

I appreciate the perspective of playing devil's advocate here. While it's true that the U.S. has been preoccupied with a series of urgent events over the past two decades, it's important to recognize that the impact and significance of these events are still widely debated. From counterterrorism efforts in Afghanistan to the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war, these actions were driven by a desire to maintain stability and promote democratic values. However, the rise of China does pose significant challenges, and it's crucial for the U.S. to reassess its priorities and strategies moving forward. The key is to balance immediate concerns with long-term strategic goals to ensure both security and prosperity.
