This is a question from someone who 3D prints for sure! Haha respect!

Taking my first crack at Dark Horse now, printing nose-up (vertically) with minimal supports. Hopefully, it’ll come out pretty clean!

In other words, actively surrendering global influence under the guise of shoring up defenses is actually just surrendering ahead of time.

Delivering victory to your adversary without the need for conflict, and you do find peace… but not necessarily one you’d prefer.

A big part of China’s 2050 plan is to usurp America as the center point in a great deal of global trade and culture. They know all roads lead to America because of its position atop the global influence hierarchy, and they want to shift that paradigm their way.

And before you argue America should cede its position as a world leader, first do away with the idea that America can walk away from that influence without someone else stepping in to take it.

Influence is like territory. It doesn’t evaporate when you lose it, it goes elsewhere
