Great article. Trying to see around the corner, my fear is concerning the politics and migration patterns taking shape in these NATO countries. We see in Spain that a socialist gov’t is rejecting NATO’s increased spending and what happens when third world/muslim immigrants gain political power in Europe?
And the same can be said about the U.S. with these socialist/communist politicians gaining a foothold. Examples include the Mamdani administration trying to meet with Iran and close to 100 left wing democrats voting to strip Israel’s defense funding.
Are we a day late and a dollar short or did we just get here in the nick of time? Only time will tell.
The science of Economics is not very scientifically based, so it makes sense that the idea of a middle power came from an economic slant. Another effort to coordinate power to counter the power of the US was the formation of BRICS. It was formed to take down the dollar as the reserve currency. These pie-in-the-sky ideas are never about supporting capitalism or free markets as much as they are about destroying American strength, wealth, and prosperity.
Thank you Alex Muse. I always recommend people read you as you articulate the best of situations around the world. Thank you for the breakdown.
What's with you and Polymarket links in everything?
The fatal flaw in the Middle Power thesis is:
Yes, they might be strong if they all acted together. But they won’t.
Not a chance of that. No one wants to pay the bill. NATO is the example. Trump had to put his foot down to make it happen.
The numbers say it all for sure; but I have read elsewhere that Spain still has not met the 2% benchmark.
President Trump is working on it. We will see if Spain keeps their promises. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0oaVLFdJqPo&pp=0gcJCWQCo7VqN5tD&ra=m
