By Peter Kouretsos, Strategy Bridge: “Many individuals have taken to the pen and the podium to compare the United States’ current situation with those of the past. Some have analogized that the US is in the same position as it was during the Interwar period, while others have compared 2017 to 1949, periods both marked by strategic uncertainty, rising threats, finite resources, and dynamic technological change. We should be wary of analogies, but we should also recognize that past developments could serve as case studies to help us think about today’s developments. History provides perspective, something Americans sorely lack today. The United States is witnessing momentous change, as are many states around the world today.”
