They may be our only peer country. I think that that's probably objectively – I think we would all agree with that.

Well, the big comparison that many historians make is that we're in a new Cold War. Neil Ferguson has called it Cold War II. And that in the same way that the first Cold War was about sort of the nuclear arms race, this one is about the AI technological race. Tyler, do you buy that as a comparison?
