After reading PNM I used your terminology of Cold War was WW3 and the War with the Jihadis was WW4 (and explained it to anyone who would listen). Now you've dropped the WW's and Jihadis and I wonder why. Did you give up on trying to explain it?
is a truly idyllic peace between US/China feasible, or as great powers must it always, at minimum, feature the sort of soft antagonism and jibing that we see pop up in headlines here and there -- any historical precedent for #1 and #2 just hugging it out?
With the US taking a step back from addressing global warming, does the the north south migration intensify or stall? In 4 years will the pendulum swing back?
Could NATO countries become the next nuclear block? Did Ukraine's vulnerability stem from giving up it's nuclear arsenal? Will NATO have to share nuclear arms to be a effective deterrent force in Europe? How would that change the dynamic with Europe, Russia, and tge US?
It appears Ukraine is on a path to surrender or defeat if the administration stops sending arms to Kiev. When the Leviathan retreats isn't the new map forced to change?
I hope that if the US stops supporting Ukraine, Europe will step up and Ukrainians will keep defending themselves. It's not just us. I imagine Ukrainians saying "you can have my country when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers after our last round has been fired."
Hi, I think your idea of a SysAdmin and Strategic forces is great idea. I’m interested in if you thoughts about our foreign service (state) and clandestine intelligence (CIA) on how you would split their duties diplomacy, intelligence gathering, aide distribution?
Would these just be folded into your SysAdmin and Strategic forces? If so would these management towers be DOD and State, with CIA being eliminated?
Also any thoughts on the domestic police services? Should FBI, ATF, DHS (including secret service, CBP, etc.), DEA, and US Marshals? Should they be reviewed and maybe separate into more functional alignments.
It appears that the US Navy was just soundly whooped by the Houthis, with the US suing for peace. What are the geopolitical implication? What are the implications for the military as it recalibrates how to project power and defend allies/the global order?
Sort of, if you have a spare half century.

With China's impending demographic decline can the US just sit back & wait the Chinese out?
