True national security and prosperity doesn't come from having the biggest guns. It comes from building and expanding an ecosystem where you are the central link but do not take home most of the profits - just the biggest chunk of it. Not seeing this has been the greatest failure of the US foreign policy since the fall of the USSR. Business schools have been teaching the importance of ecosystem and platforms for the past 20 years. But it hasn't made it to the public policy because those in charge went to school in the '50s and '60s and fail to see the modern perspective. This is one of the reasons I'd want mandatory retirement from any high office (including the supreme court) by the time a person is 72, and ideally sooner. One thing that Obama did get right was to shift focus from ME to APAC, and to at least try to shift from ham handed military strength to commerce. Maybe it was b/c he was younger. Or maybe b/c he had more exposure to the Chinese. Building the right ecosystem is the essence of the Chinese strategy. This is a very different system than the 1950's style of direct military intervention or bringing despots up and down.
