Realism is important, optimism is critical.

@PalmerLuckey Is this your view, or @anduriltech ? How does this sync with American Dynamism? Does the US DOD agree with this?

@rabovitz @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech you should probably just watch the clip. it’s very short, and you look like an idiot rn.

@micsolana @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech I did watch it. I just asked some questions. I was expecting a rational response, not attacks and defensiveness.

@andrewoetting @micsolana @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech Really? It seems that every country the US sell weapons or military tech to has either: a) been a longtime ally (UK, Australia, S. Korea, France) or b) lost a war to the US and then became an ally (Japan, Germany, Italy, now Vietnam) - where is China in those scenarios?

@rabovitz @micsolana @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech As Palmer clearly articulates in the clip, they would belong to one of these groups you mention… in the future. He literally says that he hopes one day in a future bull case scenario China and/or Russia could be trusted enough to be a customer of US defense industry. Not complex

@andrewoetting @micsolana @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech A great book on challenges to the US and Western democracy. There is a very long road ahead. You should be open to reasonable questions.

@andrewoetting @micsolana @PalmerLuckey @anduriltech China has a deep resolve to be a top global superpower. In what realistic scenario in the next decades would the US sell them weapons?
