As we enter 2026, the 250th
year of the founding of the USA, five factors stand out (in my mind) as the
nation's core strengths, and which should be celebrated:
1. The value that all humans
have an innate right to life and liberty.
2. Ability to attract
motivated and talented people from everywhere, and give them a sense of
belonging and the ecosystem to contribute and become an integral part of the
great polyglot experiment of America,
3. Network of partners across
the world, who are attracted to the US, admire it, and willingly collaborate
with it on mutually beneficial issues across a range of issues - trade,
science, education, technology, security, education, arts, etc.
4. An environment of freedom,
allowing ideas and opinions to flow freely without fear, and promoting bold
risks and innovation in every field.
5. A dynamic, self-correcting
ecosystem driven by democratic ideals, not perfect, but constantly striving
towards it.
As long as these qualities
are protected, preserved, celebrated, and promoted, the USA will continue its
journey as a great power and be a beacon of hope and optimism for all its
people and for the world.
