"When you are a dominant empire like the US...and you make bets that are exclusively based on power rather than technology, innovation, research and development, education, a growing prosperous middle class, history tells us that you will eventually fail, and that is the ugly reality."

@abucci Yeah, the US didn't become a global hegemon (exclusively) by being a belligerent asshole to everyone else. The US became a global superpower *by providing support, aid, and crucial goods to the rest of the world* after WW2.
It's a lot easier to become an industrial powerhouse after two world wars turn most of Europe into a rubble-strewn hellscape. It was an accident of historical circumstance.
