Скачать или смотреть Rubio’s Munich Speech — What He Got Wrong

Did the U.S. really “deindustrialize”? Is Europe declining? And what should we expect from a future U.S.–China deal?

In this video, I break down Secretary Marco Rubio’s Munich Security Conference speech and challenge several of its biggest claims.

Is American manufacturing actually weak? The data suggests otherwise. The U.S. remains a global industrial powerhouse and has outspent China on R&D for decades.

Corporate bailouts: From financial crises to COVID, the U.S. has repeatedly deployed massive support for its companies — often larger than China’s relative to GDP.

The Europe narrative: Is Europe truly in decline, or is that message aimed at domestic political audiences?

U.S.–China strategy: What will really come out of high-level meetings — and why public diplomacy rarely tells the full story.

This is a calm, data-driven analysis separating political rhetoric from economic reality.
