That was an absurd conclusion. China is not 'containable'. Too many people, too far ahead in economic and productive output. From this point, the only wise strategy for the US is to remain as strong as possible and do as well as it can. The moment of 'dominance' is over

But Prof. John Mearsheimers theory is the theory of The (inevitable) TRAGEDY of Great Power Politics. What you want, follows the theory of Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, who says, that the tragedy were evitable, so as you says. I personally hope, Prof. Sachs would be right, but I frear und I beleave, Prof. Mearsheimer ist right - not on "the right side of history", but on the "realistic side on history". China wont be the only Superpower, China want (only) avoid a stronger Power in his hemissphere. The aggessivity of the USA against Russia made the largest state of the world one of Chinas vassals. Without efforts for Bejing, but costs and losses also for the USA, not also for Europe, that become weaker and weaker till total irrelevance, but bounded to the USA by this weakness. China wants loyality from his allies, the USA wants submission. Loyality ist cheaper to obtain und to preserve than submission by fear. Not the next decades, but on the long term China has probably the better strategy than the USA.

Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, and soon Iran ... US military capacity is severely tested. But most of all the former carrier strike group strike power over land has been reversed. Nowaday, with new missile technology, a US fleet off the coast of a medium power (such as Iran) will be short of strike-power, and the burn-rate will not allow it bring the land power to it knees. For success fleet actions can only be the prelude to a full land invasion. And now you are looking at years and years of financial drain on a deficit govt already paying more in debt service per year than military expenses.

The US will not fix its weak industry. For the following reason. After the Cold War, the American ruling class waged war against the working class. In concrete terms, this means that the American capitalists outsourced its industry first to Mexico and then to China. The so-called globalization. As a result, the ruling class alone benefited from the added value of production without having to involve its population. The only instrument of power the US still has is the dollar as the world reserve currency. On the other hand, this strong currency means that American industry is no longer competitive. Therefore, with a military budget that is twenty times larger, the US cannot compete with Russia in the production of artillery shells. This is also the reason why the US cannot fully exploit its own resources such as oil. Because imported oil from Saudi Arabia is cheaper.

"Does the US still have the Capacity for Global Dominance?" The fact that the US cannot even meet it's promise to Ukraine for 155mm shells tells you US capacity is limited especially for mutliple conflicts. Can the US tool up. Yes in theory, but 2023 interest payment for Fed govt debt was well over a trillion $, much more than total military expenses. A continuing deficit govt means continuous debt roll over without principle repayment. Fixed during Tresuries morph into idefinite duration with periodic interest rate resets. This is a debt trap, or an debt-service trap which becomes a bigger and bigger share of total govt expenditing exceeding all other categories like medical, and military ... Therefore US military capacity is clearly limited by its fiscal footing.

Good heavens! We learned the importance of a strong industrial base from the Ukraine War? We learned this in every war for the last 200 years! And I appreciate Mr Mearsheimer’s optimism, but our problems are much deeper than just changing a few things about our military. Our economy, fiscal situation, lack of industrial capacity, lack of skilled labor pool (ex: we have almost no merchant marine), etc. We will not have the national power we are looking for without fixing these deeper problems.

I think the question should be: when would US government come to the event of for closure and waiting for congress vote to up lift debt ceiling? Not ambitious target: just x2 full presidential terms. When would US be debt free? And pay back fees owing international organisation, like UN? Only then, US can think if it has the chance ..

The US *military* capacity can keep pace, and even expand its global dominance. The real question is whether its financial debt expansion can keep up with the military delusions. The US population will have to be drafted (financially incentivized) into the military Industrial service, *massively reduce* their civilian consumption and comforts, and become less obese. The US will then have become the Union of Peoples' Republics of America... modeled after North Korea.

We pay attention to what is one the ground and in the air, not what is in the sea. Just as the Royal Navy was more critical to the Battle of Britain than the Royal Air Force, so it has been with the USA and everything military it has done everywhere for the last thirty years. The US has not reduced its commitment to carrier groups; therefore, as long as those can be protected, it can project a level of power no one else can. Occupying and holding ground is a power, but it is of a different sort. 18th and 19th Century Britain was a naval power, yet their small army did some amazing things because of their technological advantages. Same with the US since the 50s. Young Americans nowadays are not willing to make that commitment, and good for them. Why should they? Also, It might be worth taking some lessons from China. How have they been conducting war against the USA since the 90s? Not with arms, right?

Between 2018-23, Army enlistments by white Americans dropped 50%, according to recent articles. When requests were made for specific information on declines in recruiting by region, the Army declined to provide it. What that likely means is white soldiers living in red states are no longer enlisting in large numbers like before. Why the change? Military families are telling their sons not to join. Why are they doing this? In a nutshell, the military has become focused on implementing progressive ideology in the ranks, at the expense of combat readiness. For example, women are now allowed into all combat arms fields, in spite of the inability of women to perform at the same physical level as their male counterparts. A 2015 USMC/University of Pittsburgh study confirmed this. All male teams of Marines consistently outperformed mixed-gender teams of Marines in basic combat tasks. And yet the Army and Marines now allow women to serve in infantry units. This will put the lives of infantry personnel in danger unnecessarily and the sharp decline in Army enlistments is a reflection of this. If Americans won't enlist in sufficient numbers in the Army, we won't have a force that can globally "dominate" anyone or anything. And don't even think about trying to draft Gen Zers to serve for two years, like the U.S. did prior to 1973. You'll have rioting in the streets if that is attempted. Retired U.S. Army

Nothing about the conflict in the Ukraine makes any sense. - A border dispute turns into a all out war? - and the wests response. This is not how we conduct a war on a territorial scale such as this. I don't know what they think they're doing in the US, or NATO, but its baffling. Its clear to me the MiC genuinely didn't take its business rivals of Russia and China very seriously; led to this outcome. - and others are learning from this. They've learnt that if you have the workforce, you just need to setup manufacturung infrastructure, and there are plenty of customers. Meanwhile the US sells Australia, 6 nuclear submarines, for $360 billion (U$200 billion) - Which Australia has to build themselves? 😃 Suddenly it makes a lot of sense why the US gov't has opened the border. The MiC has zero trust as an employer in the US; as time and again they've burnt the workforce there. No one wants to work for them in manufacturing. Theres no job security. I mean, think about it. Theres no doubt in my mind most gov'ts are telling young men in their countries. That you can go into Europe, or the US for a few years, making a decent quid to take home with them. - They're not gonna stay. Which just proves what kind of monumental f*ckup they've made of the economy. The EU is actually paying incentives to attract a workforce, of able bodied young men, whom are gonna take every cent they earn, and send it out of the country / continent. Which, if it really takes off? Is gonna destroy the small nations economies. So someone from the US, might read this and say to themselves, "well, money's, money, I'll do it" - no ya won't; and even if you would, they can't afford you.

It's not about military capacity, it's about economic capacity. It's also about energy capacity. Russia has plenty of energy capacity but with a non-diversified economy that is about 60% at the mercy of the inescapable laws of supply and demand that set price. When's the last time you bought anything Made in Russia? Why did the old Soviet Union literally go broke? And Putin never learned the lesson. China has strong economic capacity but is reliant for about 25% of its energy needs from outside of its national borders to keep the lights on. Also about the same percentage of the food supply necessary to feed 1.4 billion mouths per day. What do you think their "Belt and Road" initiative is really all about? At the end of the day, all this sabre rattling has a hard economic bottom line. Trump the businessman has a very clear understanding of the tremendous leverage America has with its diversified economy and abundance of energy resources that gives us net export capability. God willing, he'll see a second term in office.

Homelessness. Education decline. Obesity. Gap between rich and poor, etc, etc. The US is not what it used to be, I was at Disney/Universal pre COVID and noticed the visitors were not as well off and the staff not as friendly. Just got back and the situation is worse. I will not be back. New York, Chicago, Huston, Las Vegas are only safe during the day and if you stay within the tourist areas. May God help the US.
