You are rambling around in circles to avoid the plain truth in front of you. Trump is an autocratic authoritarian. His being a narcissist contributes to that. The two are not mutually exclusive. > I don't disagree with him on everything he says just because he said it. At this point, doing so is a better strategy than deferring judgement, while even more "shit" continues to "flood the zone". I'm a libertarian, and I gave this guy a benefit of the doubt for far too long. When looked at from a non-partisan view, all of his policies have been somewhere from neutral to bad to terrible for America. Referencing real problems and frustrations, yes. But completely ineffective or even self-defeating for actually helping with those problems. > So, with space, my honest take is that it was all just a Cold War thing all along > It seems to me that China and India are doing space science things now. They can get on with it So you're content to just give up on the current cold war then? Throw in the towel and hand world leadership to China? Why?
