America doesn't win the next era because it's brilliant. It wins because everyone else is screwed. What's that mean? Doesn't exactly fit on a bumper sticker, but yeah, that broadly works. You got two big things that are going on.
Number one, in the globalized world, it's all about who you can access safely. And in the Western hemisphere, we really don't have to worry about any security threats from a trade point of view. So people always talk about, oh, if the US and China get into a war, won't that be bad for X, Y, or Z? It's like I don't mean to suggest it would be a piece of cake, but the the Chinese are dependent on trade and we're not.
It's really that simple. And if we can nail down Canada and Mexico in a productive relationship, you know, we used to call that NAFTA or NAFTA too. We're now having second thoughts. That's half the hard work right there. In addition, we export food, we export energy.
