2026 and 250th year of the America

 

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.
