Common sense would say use your own resources, produce and sell your own "stuff" including energy, grow your own economy, make your own economy healthy, and have strong education that teaches basic economics and love of country for future successful adults. Seems like independence, love of and investment in your own country with strong borders and a healthy economy based not on borrowing and printing fake $$ would be basic competence to build a successful country.
Don't have to wonder how we lost that competence and are a rapidly failing country - pride & greed. Heads so big a country thinks it's the world's savior and greed so powerful it squashes the human spirit. Everything once believed in freely handed over as a debt to the world. How about a strong country minding and tending to its own business, one that lifts up its own.
Pride comes before a fall and LOVE of $$ the root of all evil. How about the think tank says enough is enough. Let's go back to commen sense.
