If America wants to prosper, we must lead

OK NOBODY WARNED ME ABOUT THIS ONE BUT SENATOR RICK SCOTT AND A HUDSON INSTITUTE FELLOW NAMED REBECCAH HEINRICHS ARE APPARENTLY FURIOUS ABOUT ANYONE ARGUING AGAINST AMERICAN LEADERSHIP BECAUSE THEY JUST PUT OUT A PIECE IN THE HILL SAYING AMERICA ABSOLUTELY HAS TO MAINTAIN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IF WE WANT TO PROSPER AND THE THING IS THEY ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THIS EMERGING AUTHORITARIAN ALLIANCE BEING RUN BY CHINA AND RUSSIA WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY SAY COUNTERING THAT ALLIANCE DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON US LEADING THE WAY GLOBALLY AND YOU CANNOT JUST SIT HERE AND PRETEND THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY ARE WARNING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY ARE AND THAT IS THE WHOLE DEAL. ANYWAY DO NOT QUOTE ME ON ANY OF THAT.

NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS ENOUGH AND THE NUMBER TWO IS TOTALLY BLOWING MY MIND RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO MASSIVE COUNTRIES, CHINA AND RUSSIA, FORMING AN EMERGING AUTHORITARIAN ALLIANCE ACCORDING TO THIS OPINION PIECE IN THE HILL AND SENATOR RICK SCOTT TEAMS UP WITH REBECCAH HEINRICHS WHO IS A HUDSON INSTITUTE FELLOW TO TELL YOU STRAIGHT TO YOUR FACE THAT IF AMERICA WANTS TO PROSPER WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AND THE THING IS YOU KEEP STANDING THERE ACTING LIKE WE CAN JUST IGNORE THEM WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY ARE ARGUING THE ENTIRE REASON WE MUST LEAD GLOBALLY IS PRECISELY TO COUNTER THOSE TWO POWERS AND THEIR ALLIANCE SO NOW WE ARE SUPPOSEDLY AT THIS CROSSROADS WHERE AMERICAN PROSPERITY HANGS ON NOT STEPPING BACK FROM THE WORLD STAGE AND NOBODY IN THIS CLUB EVEN CARES! OK ENOUGH, WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?
