Chamath: America is Back as THE Global Superpower

from my perspective i think what president trump has done is almost single-handedly bring back the united states as the global superpower america is back in order to be a superpower i think you need to have three things but they work in a hierarchy the first is that you need to have technical supremacy and then from that technological supremacy you need to establish and project economic supremacy and military supremacy you saw a tactical demonstration of technological supremacy with the b2 bombers but taking a more general step back if you look at the largest companies in the world who are the ones that are actually driving

the world forward these are all american companies economically at the same time you now have the stock market back at all-time highs you have interest rates incredibly starting to compress even in the absence of the federal reserve willing to act on data so you're projecting economic supremacy and then these last few weeks frankly have been a pretty clear-cut case of military supremacy the us is essentially telling the world "our words carry weight again we're going to shape the global order." countries will now have to calibrate their actions around what the us is willing to tolerate and what it isn't willing to tolerate
