“…everything we do is also geopolitical…”

Can’t remember who (sorry!) suggested this ‘Why little Lithuania has big plans for space tech’ article by MaryLou Costa (published by the BBC - British Broadcasting Corporation, link below) but I was struck by Dominykas Milasius’ concluding statement:

‘ "And everything we do is also geopolitical… we have to build up critical value offerings, sciences and other critical technologies, to make our allies understand that it's probably good to protect Lithuania." ‘

Wondering what it is that any country, or group of countries, has to offer allies/ potential allies; or specifically what the US has (left) to offer? 😐

Totally agree & think this shift in power (biggest losers being commercial old media) needs to be explored more… it’s a big change in some thinking (some previously set-in-cement assumptions that have conditioned a lot of actions). John Quiggin refers to it as: “the exposure of Newscorp as a paper tiger”.

Somebody (I forget who) asked me about that Dr. David Smail quote the other day. I brought up the Adverse Childhood Experience Study (ACE). Well, here is this also. It's only 9 minutes and really good.
