Interesting that the solutions you’re jumping to are about defending the ‘west’ and beating the south / east rather than working with the south/east to make sure the best of both is shared?
To be clear, when I speak of defending the West, I am mostly thinking of defending the West against self-inflicted problems. Nobody is talking about “beating” the global south / east. If the West declines, then it won’t be in a very good position to share anything with anyone.
