Look if you are going to be awed by American technological excellence like a virgin with her husband on the first night, then maybe you are better off looking after your husband rather than posting here. Thus MastanKhan is an American agent who loses no opportunity to create an aura of American invincibility in people's minds.
Quantum computing isn't a solely American domain. In fact, we have one of the world's leading research programs here in Australia. There is research going on in China as well. There was a time when the Americans were relaticely secluded because of the oceans on two sides, an insular economy. And the rest of the world was too caught up in its own problems. Those times are gone now. Wealth is spreading in China, who is making sure there is a block of nations to support it. People have clued up to science and technology. And the decision to outsource manufacturing has caused America to lose its invulnerability. Today, the real advantage America has is that of numbers. It has Britain, France, Australia all willing to join against China in the SCS. These are in turn wealthy and technologically advanced nations. And as a block they are willing to defend their economic and geographic interests.
Power is both hard and soft. Half of American power comes from dolts who have no deep knowledge of science and technology, but get overawed that the Americans are researching higher order computing. Really, if you actually belong to the Armed Forces of Pakistan, then I am ashamed at the soldiers we are producing. Pathetic.
