This is supposed to be a grand strategy of America's greatest mind in Jake Sullivan. To be appointed by the President as the National Security Advisor, he must be the best in America, at least in the mind of Biden and de facto President Blinken. Under the America finest democratic system, the best man, not in terms of intellect but popularity and wealth, would be elected to lead the country. And this man, often far from the philosopher king, often an idiot, would pick his team using his half past six brain, of men and women to his liking and presumably to be able and intelligent enough to chart the future of the nation. The result is obvious over the last few decades that Trump was clever enough to see that the Empire had declined, and he has to Make America Great Again.
This small yard high fence strategy was accepted in full by an equally foolish Congress and House of Representatives making up of charlatans and conmen and women acting as if they are godsend wise men and women, the best in America, under their great democratic system that was designed not to elect the most able but the best salesmen and saleswomen. They too believed in this small yard high fence strategy without question.
And when this strategy failed, they keep expanding yard wider, thinking that it would work. The reality is that the yard is actually shrinking by the day. All their effort to isolate China, initially to contain China, to deprive China of all advanced and new technology has failed miserably. China has not only broken down the fence to acquire the technology but also running ahead.
Space technology, drones, 6G communication, 6G aircraft, missiles, nuclear technology, quantum physics, high speed train, solar energy, EVs and batteries, and recently, AI and a great breakthrough in terms of performance and efficiency, whatever you name it China is dominating the industry. There is only one face left, and that is high end chips. Nvidia's high end chips is the last hurdle for China to leap over. And knowing China's track record and development speed, it is only a matter of a couple of years before this last fence falls.
When this happens, it would be America's turn to chase after the Chinese technology train. What the clowns in Washington have been doing for so long is building fences and forgot about developing their own capability to compete. This is left to the private sector to think about. There is no great strategy from the clowns to mobilise the country to innovate and invent and stay competitive. They think throwing obstacles in the path of China would keep them at the top. The private sector has their own momentum and initial and would move only at a pace and in a direction that would benefit them most, not America as a country.
What can Americans expect in a country led by clowns, charlatans and mediocre men and women? The days of 'greatness' by conquest, by wars and killings, looting and plunders, slavery and genocide are over. Ukraine is a war that they cannot win.
