Russia and China don\u2019t have to deal with breakers and disorder the same way that the US does because they\u2019re authoritarian states\u2014they have a high degree of control over their citizens and immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when the Ebola virus, which could have affected the whole globe, broke out, it was the US, not China or Russia, who dealt with it. The US sent troops to Africa to contain the spread and spent $3 billion eradicating the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>US Foreign Policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>US foreign policy used to be easy\u2014contain one other superpower, Russia\u2014but in the age of accelerations it&#8217;s far more complicated and has three major arms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arm #1: Manage Superpowers&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there are three superpowers, the US, Russia, and China, and dealings with superpowers are no longer simply about containment and recruiting allies. The world is so interconnected now that the fall of other superpowers might actually be more dangerous for the US than the rise, and allies can quickly become enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Example #1: China has a huge effect on the world\u2019s economy. If China collapsed, there could be a global recession.<\/li><li>Example #2: The EU is an American ally regarding democratic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/capitalism-theory\/\">capitalism<\/a> and helps the US stabilize the globe. However, when member nations such as Great Britain cause instability (Brexit), that instability might have a larger effect on the EU (and therefore the US) than any attack China or Russia could launch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arm #2: Stabilize the Globe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to superpowers, US foreign policy must manage state failure, which is the fall of governments and the takeover of countries by tribes, gangs, and extremist groups. Weak states in the Middle East and Africa are causing regions of disorder, and this disorder is spilling into more stable nations as migrants and refugees travel from weak states to Europe or the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For example, thousands of young male migrants from various parts of Africa, which is disordered, meet in Agadez, Niger. On Monday evenings, they pile into trucks to travel through Libya (which is war-ravaged) and hopefully on to Europe, a more ordered part of the world, to find jobs. Neither Libya nor Europe wants to let most of the migrants in.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arm #3: Contain Breakers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The final arm US foreign policy must address is containing breakers. Breakers are individuals or groups who want to cause chaos. (Friedman contrasts breakers with \u201cmakers,\u201d people who use the accelerations to build new things or improve old things.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-acceleration, new technologies were first available to governments and it took some time for them to make their way into the hands of the general public, but <strong>now, it\u2019s easy to get destructive technology or find out how to build it online.<\/strong> A single person now has the ability to compete with superpowers and unlike superpowers, breakers often can\u2019t be deterred by mutually assured destruction\u2014some breakers are happy to commit suicide if it means hurting others too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Example #1: It\u2019s now easy to source inexpensive bomb-making materials online. It only costs $100 to make an IED, a simple bomb. As of 2013, IEDs killed over 3,000 Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the US government spent $75 billion on anti-IED measures.<\/li><li>Example #2: In 2016, cybercriminals took over the computers in a hospital in LA and blackmailed the hospital into paying them in order to get their computers back. Pre-acceleration, it was easy to catch extorters\u2014put a tracker in the bag of ransom money. These hospital cybercriminals, however, asked to be paid in bitcoin, which is hard to trace. (Shortform note: As of 2020, the criminals were still at large.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <strong>single breakers are far harder to identify, predict, and take down than an organization.<\/strong> When a government is dealing with a terrorist organization, the strategy is to find the organization, disrupt it, and destroy it. Individual people are harder to keep track of and they can come out of nowhere. The rise of breakers is part of why radical Islamism is so persistent\u2014it\u2019s not an organization, it\u2019s a movement. There\u2019s no leadership structure, so taking out certain people doesn\u2019t have a major effect on the movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is the United States considered a superpower?
