Is It Going to End?

Naval power was absolutely the biggest piece. There's actually an argument to me now that even if the US wanted to continue, it couldn't. We have shifted the way our Navy works over the last 30 years and we're most exclusively focused on projecting power through our carrier groups. The rest of the world is not willing to defer to the United States on security matters. And that's the other half of the globalization equation. So whether it's from the point of view of the security provider or the consumer, this was always going to end. And now it is.
