Should America be a great power? If so, can the United States remain a great power? Christian Brose, senior editor at Foreign Policy, and Rachel Kleinfeld, president of the Truman National Security Project, debate the future of the world’s hegemon and rising heavyweights on bloggingheads.tv.
Christian Brose argues that “the greatest advantage that the United States has going forward is that as other countries become more powerful there is always going to be the feeling among their neighbors and among others in the world that they are going to view that apprehensively and I think they are going to look to the United States…to provide you with a security partner.”
“The United States could destroy ourselves if we’re not careful,” warns Rachel Kleinfeld. And she argues that the previous administration in Washington “lost more of America’s power over the last eight years than we’ve ever seen before.”
