    Yeah, I think we agree. Saying that “the US will just outspend you” isn’t completely correct, that’s why I pointed to other successful revolutions such as Korea, Vietnam or Cuba, because the USSR didn’t allow the US to do this.

      it’s been less than 65 years; a single lifetime.

      those examples without a benefactor like china or can’t adopt a china-like adaptability; like vietnam did; will be gone in another 65 years if the trajectory of the western world doesn’t change.
