Super Genius Jake 'the Snek' Sullivan in His Own Words

 ... underscoring the reality that HARD CHOICES are already being made about the prioritization of limited resources to a set of expanding priorities ... Primacists can live in a world of idealism (delusion) but eventually reality strikes cold and hard. 

... In the 'Europe First' grand strategic paradigm these crucial weapons are being exhausted for a tertiary conflict where core US national interests aren't threatened ... all while our reserves for far more critical strategic theaters like the Asia Pacific run empty.  

What is more the lack of these critical weapons systems could invite China to act more aggressively in the region given that the costs of offense will be assessed as lower (i.e., less Patriots, less loss of aircraft, etc.) 

The US should "pivot" to a truly Asia First grand strategy. A Europe First one is stuck in a 1996 mindset. In sum,  @ElbridgeColby is right. Sullivan is wrong. History won't be kind.
