interesting how trump is trying to shift the conversation from implosion, balkanization, division, civil war to territorial expansion, and bringing focus back from overseas conflicts with russia and china to our monroe doctrine sphere of influence in the americas the picture that emerges is that he's actually doing this as a way to make peace with russia and china, avoiding ww3 by tacitly agreeing to a multipolar world where each great power has its own sphere of influence, with a few mutually agreed combat/contest zones in the global south (africa, south america, south asia, the pacific islands if i had to guess) the thing that would fuck up trump's current inaugural meme-campaign was if some kind of dramatic event would shift focus on the home front to trauma and pain or chaos instead of an optimistic sense of expansion and possibility.
