Interesting take on Gates from a real insider: this comparison between China's deployment-focused approach and Western innovation focus (pushed by Gates) paints a real picture for why the two countries have looked so different in terms of, well deployment.
His worst offense was reorienting the entire Paris agreement away from affordability toward innovation through his Mission Innovation side show in 2015. China went the route of deployment, we decided that we needed to focus on innovation instead.

Now imagine if that was said after Biden bulldozed the entire West Wing with zero approval/oversight. Now imagine this is happening while Biden is sending the military into “red” cities and blowing up boat after boat in international waters. It’s insane.
