    The Republicans will back any hair-brained interventionist agenda Biden adopts. The Democrats will call you a communist if you don't get in line. And mass media will do the 9/11 dance to stoke tension until Americans think the world is on fire and only they can stop it.

    But, at this point, we're hitting a soft upper bound on how many resources we can commit. Pandemic, the economy stalling out again, domestic unrest, and a hard split on partisan lines mean you're risking marginal global hegemony on one more big roll of the dice if you keep ignoring domestic concerns.
