    Beautifully put by : “Unless the US gathers like-minded countries to establish and enforce the rules somebody else will, and you will like those rules a lot less than you will like the rules that the US and its friends created out of the ashes of WWII”

    President-elect Biden has said he wants America to retake its position of global leadership – but should it? argues no: “We need a little bit of humility. We can be part of the solution, but we have not earned the right – nor do we have the power – to be in charge.”

    Requires SD certification >/=90 days for troop redux in GE, ROK; limits to $100M ‘national emergency’ funds transfer; eliminates Confederate base names; sanctions TU for S-400; requires Fed LENF and military be identifiable. Well done, SASC/HASC.

    Also worth emphasizing that it’s not at all clear that US foregoing a return to its seat at the head of the global table either 1) is desired by other countries or 2) will lead to China or anyone else stepping up and playing a hegemonic role. More likely a leadership vacuum.

    The term "servant leadership" gets overplayed in the business press, but it's a vital matter in global affairs. Saying we aspire to lead the world means also that we're willing to *serve* in that role. That comes sometimes with costs, sacrifices, and forgone opportunities.

    Me: Countries that have the policies that Peter is advocating...are the very countries that desperately want a return to American leadership because they understand that unless the U.S. gathers around it like minded countries to establish and enforce the rules, somebody else will

    It's really fascinating to me how despite the fact China and Russia persecute Muslims or kill them in industrial numbers, there isn't a similar movement of popular or state-backed enmity the way you have with America.

    I have no objection to people with different experience contesting the argument; we're all better from trying to see more perspectives. But I so appreciate your solidarity about the mansplaining, !

    Limits on troop reductions from Germany stayed in the final NDAA despite Inhofe’s support for Trump’s plans to reshuffle troops in Europe -->

    🚨 The NDAA bars troop reductions in Germany and South Korea below 34,500 and 28,500, respectively. Only can happen (and months after) SECDEF delivers national-security rationale to Congress

    Looking back at the wisdom and calamities of the last four years and stumbled on this gem: "the American military is — blessedly — not very good at politics." - (so true, so true and it was really put to the test this year!)

    This is a reminder that there was a time when the US got public health right: Pres. George W. Bush's Pepfar program was a heroic initiative that turned the tide on HIV/Aids worldwide and has saved 20m lives. It's one of the best things the US has done in my lifetime.

    During this week, on  2020, announced its latest results show​ing that the program has saved 20 million lives, supported several ​African countries ​to reach HIV epidemic control, and strengthened global health security. Learn more: .

    "Leaders in Beijing and Moscow frequently suggest that the root cause of the current tensions is Washington’s concern about its relative decline. But U.S. worries about China and Russia are founded as much in clashing values and visions"
