I fear this is correct. We should be materially more concerned about homeland & home hemisphere defense than we are in intervening to stop China from taking Taiwan or even marching across the Indo-Pacific. We don’t have the capacity or the national will for such a campaign today, but we do have the capacity to deter & defend against hostility in North America, unleash our economy & rebuild/upgrade our industrial base at home, upgrade to true 21st century military platforms, & encourage our builders to focus their productive energy at the frontiers (e.g., space) & frontier technologies/industries which matter most to future American power & prosperity.
