The loss of the war in Afghanistan is not only causing great human suffering, it's having geopolitical repercussions. The world order is changing and not in America’s favor. 

When I speak with world leaders who are pondering the “US vs China” question they almost unanimously explain that they make that choice based on which is more advantageous to them economically and militarily. They all say China is more important to them economically and, regarding the military, the question is whether the United States will fight for them when they need them to. The way that the Americans are leaving the Afghans who fought next to them to brutal Taliban recriminations is making some ask if that is what it will be like when their time comes. 

Ideology aside, there is no getting around the need to be strong and united and the US is having some challenges in that regard. Getting strong and united is up to us. No enemy other than us is standing in our way.

说走就走的海边，收获一双耀眼夺目的“洞洞粉”～
穿着我的“新粉”坐在海边，吹着温柔的海风，听着温厚的海浪声，看着广阔的大海，吃着一把又一把口味不一的狗粮～
即使Single，也要对大海比个✌️✌️，大海懂我的“unmoved either by gain or loss”～
书上说“请喜欢大海，别窒息于海底，你我自己有海”～
在海边“面朝大海”应该是最温柔的事情了～
