The idea that the US was getting a bad deal is just fucking laughable though. The reality is we have had 70 years of neoliberalism forcing the entire world to do what we want because our economic and military might had our boot to their throat.
Oh but we had a bad deal. -Trump
No, NOW we have a bad deal. Fucking dipshit ruined a soft empire where we subjugated the entire god damn planet in order to… make the beneficiaries of that subjugation work harder? We had already won! All we had to do was maintain the petrodollar and fuck over China’s ability to form relations with the first world. But now we lost.
Like, I hate capitalism and I hate neoliberalism, but at the same time I’m like, if you’re going to change the world, well, fucking up the positives only to leave a pile of shit is not really much of a solution. These religious right wing hogs know nothing about how the world works. I still have to remind myself Trump is a symptom of a system that can no longer carry on. I mean, every Empire falls, soft to hard, don’t matter.
I’m in the same camp. Just because I can recognize the evils that I am a beneficiary of doesn’t mean I necessarily want them to continue. But there are better ways to dismantle an empire. At this point, I’m expecting civil war (Rwanda style) followed by a foreign invasion (likely China) while we’re in pieces.
I doubt anyone will invade the us. China, if it had any military movement, is much more likely to want to consolidate everything close to it. Japan, eastern russia, the philippines, korea. Canada doesn’t have the motivation to invade (it might allow areas to join if our military is dead enough to not fuss about it), and mexico doesn’t have the wherewithal to use their military against the cartels (they did let their military loose once and it was kicking some ass, but they stopped because of internal reasons), much less a foreign country. They might annex parts of the southern states, in the same manner as canada if the military is done for.
India definitely doesn’t want to suddenly build the logistics to invade, no south american country wants the headache, and european areas will probably be looking to their east.
Russia might be the only one with the motivation and quasi-ability to do it. They wouldn’t get much more than they are currently out of ukraine, but it’s possible putin would make a play for alaskan territory. I think it’s unlikely, considering china would really take advantage of that extended and vulnerable supply chain.
Makes more sense when you see it through the lens of self enrichment, not about getting anything more for America.
I’m sure down the road it will come out that he hinted to trade delegations to make an investment in $Trump coin help negotiations along. Whilst of course also making timely personal investment decisions in the American markets fluctuate.

It wouldn’t be a traditional invasion with hordes of men. It would first be through colonization style immigration with money, and then murder drones.
Please let it be Canada
