You're seeing the rise of what I'll call pesky sovereignty, where these nations are saying, I may need them still, but I will start to prepare myself for a world where I don't have to rely on them.
Who does that benefit the most?
Great question.
In the short haul...
Man, uncertainty is hard for democracies, right?
So in the short haul, you're seeing it even here, that autocracy, whether it is in China and the things it's able to do because it can dictate what its private sector does.
Autocracies are neat, right?
They can just set direction and enforce what happens.
And listen, our own president said, I alone can save you.
I mean, that's a version of you have to go along with what I say because I'm the one that's doing it.
Democracies are way messier.
Yeah.
Herding cats.
Yeah.
Herding cats.
And they're slow by design, right?
It's the slowness that gives us legitimacy.
So in the short haul, this rewiring, this quiet, this uncertainty...
creates opportunities for adversaries and competitors to create mischief.
And you're kind of seeing it go on.
