People will always be worried.
Other countries would always be worried about what America could choose to do.
So America, I think, has to at least to some extent remain engaged in the world.
The question is, how can it do that in a way?
And this is my understanding of how things are changing in some of the American debates now.
How can it do that in a way that is economically sustainable?
So if you go back to somebody like Eisenhower, President Eisenhower in the early part of the Cold War, what he tried to do is he tried to use things like covert action
and effective, cost-effective ways to create effects in the world that made America and its allies more secure and enabled the United States to get more profits and more money for the United States in the long run.
And I think that is to some extent what we're going back to.
Right.
It's much less about democracy promotion.
It's much more about trying to run a world that is more profitable for the United States.
Yeah, and I think there's a huge amount of truth to that.
I think the challenge is always how do you balance what you need to do domestically with what you need to do abroad?
And I think, right, let's just step back and think about the really big challenge the United States faces right now, which is that China, not the United States, China is the world's manufacturing superpower.
China manufactures more stuff than the next four or maybe even nine countries in the world combined.
It now has more robotized.
It has more robots in its manufacturing.
Per 1,000 manufacturing workers, it has more robots than any G7 country.
