If I were given the choice, I would support a country that has a track record that I am proud of.
Since I have serious reservations about the track record of the United States, I have to wonder if the people I consider the worst are more likely to establish dominance faster than some other country that I like better.
Maybe I should be working to establish the dominance of the country I think is some combination of the best, and the most likely to win that race (if I and my peers were to help them.)
Or, I could acknowledge that the United States is the most likely to establish dominance, and I should be working my ass off to ensure the US will be the best version of itself that it could be.
barring catastrophy, it’s close to 100% inevitable that militaries will become largely autonomized in the coming decades.
