(RAD: Notice that the US has essentially lost both its industrial & technological bases. As a result, the US is no longer competitive on the world stage against countries that have the 3 pillars outlined below.

Unfortunately, isolation is not a competitive advantage and only quickens the decline of the US.
If we look at any niche in the US where a half dozen companies are competing for market share, only the ones who consistently provide more value that customers are willing to purchase will survive.

Putin is not the only one willing to explain this. — RAD)
