True, the article glosses over the type of population they expect will keep the U.S. from suffering the same demographic decline that East Asia will experience.
Foreign Affairs is, for the most part, a globalist rag. I was surprised that they’d put out an realistic article basically saying the Asian century will never happen for the current economic powers of Asia given their current demographic trajectory.
One thing insinuated in the article but worth exploring is: China is aware of the demographic decline and has tried to unsuccessfully reverse it via government edict. Does this demographic conundrum constrain what military action they take? If they go to war and lose a large amount of military age men, then the demographic decline would go into overdrive due to available pool of males, potential fathers, being eliminated in war.
As for the U.S. it glosses over the demographic decline insinuating that immigration will save us, another globalist b.s. point. To me it shows the importance of Trump’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the US and curtail immigration.
One would hope that when the repatriation of illegals to their home countries is done it includes those illegals who have been in the U.S. for long periods of time. I would also hope that Trump will end the visa program used to bring cheaper high tech people. They overstay their visa and undermine American citizens.
Now there is a group immigrants who are actually doing work that enough Americans don’t do, farmhands from South Africa. Using the H2-A visa, white South Africans come to the U.S. and work as farm laborers. They have to be experienced in driving the harvest machines as well as work the irrigation systems, tractors et al on top of understanding working with farm animals. Short term these are the type of immigrants that actually fit the definition not some political propaganda. The vetting requirements keep out the tribal 13% riff raff that the demo-fascist would want to import.
Given the young in the U.S. do not want to take over family farms coupled with the aging of American farmers the white South Africans here on H2-A visa serve a vital role.
Screamers was the movie, and it was pretty good. Naming it that didn’t help it any...
I posit that there are no movies based on Philip K. Dick books that are actually bad...

I missed that one, probably due to the name. I agree with you regarding movies based on stories by Dick though I usually learn that only after I’ve seen it.

The Raison d'Etre (reason for being) for an Intelligence Officer is to give the commanders the intelligence information they need to know to do their job. The WORST sin you can commit is to waste a flag officer's time. They will not forgive you.
You learn quickly that you know the deep background intel and they don't. They don't need to, that's why they have you. You hit the high points in a brief and they ask you questions. And believe me, if they need to know something and you didn't give it to them, they will ask. From this you learn the 'altitude' of the briefing the commander prefers.
A pleasant side effect from standing in front of a 4-star and getting questioned is that you permanently lose your fear of public speaking. I'd much rather deliver a talk on the history of the piccolo to a crowded Rose Bowl than be the focus of an angry flag officer.
As for getting information you wouldn't see from the LSM, it works both ways. I learn from all y'all. You have experiences and expertise I will never have. I am better for being around y'all.

My method - I don’t watch, read or listen to MSM. :-D
Oh, too bad. :-(
I would think that telling a flag officer what he wants to hear instead of a proper briefing would be bad because our people could get killed if the flag officer is getting his 4 star ego massaged.
Hmm, linked article doesn’t mention not the rapist.
No view for us here. We’d have had to drive about 5 miles away.
I just tried to post on X and TS and each time it did not embed, just a link. Usually Rumble doesn’t do that.
