Geopolitical Quote of the Day - Dr. Ian Bremmer
Folks, while I have been diligently crafting a few new articles, I did come across a snippet by Dr. Ian Bremmer. political scientist, author, Eurasia Group, a leading global political risk research and consulting firm, a perceptive analyst.
So here is a very short snippet that I have transcribed for your convenience.
.. Part of the problem I have with Trump is doing is that he is picking every fight simultaneously , right … If you want to go and reorganize the global trade order, at a time when the US economy is particularly strong, the you should also leaning into US industrial policy at home so don’t get rid of the CHIPS act, expand the CHIPS act , it was too small to begin with , right , don’t go after American Universities , expand funding in American Universities because you need the best talent from around the world, not to stay there , but to come to the United States. Don’t undermine rule of law, You need people believing in rule of law, and contracts .You want in other words, make the consistent bet. But the only consistent thing is the Trump wants to beat up on everybody .. all at the same time. And that unfortunately even for the most powerful country in the world is going to end up hurting us a lot …
