Donald Trump is following a plan much more detailed and comprehensive than it would appear from simple slogans such as “MAGA.” Faced with resource depletion and ecosystemic collapse, the world’s economic machine is sinking fast. Governments are now acting as passengers of the Titanic, scrambling to save themselves the best they can, even if that means pushing someone else underwater. So the USA is retreating inside its immediate sphere of influence and Europe finds itself in a bad position without the resources to rearm and defend itself. The USA will try to expand northwards into Greenland and perhaps Canada in order to take their natural resources. But if Trump were to say this to the American people, they would think him feeble-minded as they did with Carter. Instead he uses propaganda to blame the situation on whichever “enemies” come to hand, and the people cheer him on.

What’s this nonsense about governments pushing other governments over the edge as to not to succumb to Trump’s destruction?.. And Europe note being able to “rearm” or defend it’s self?
None of that’s true, this is just substack drivel written by some guy I’d expected better from the politics aub, but I guess I’m wrong.
“Trust me, I have a blog!”… err… no.
Look at all the equipment Europe has sent to Ukraine

I detailed this elsewhere but Denmark in particular has played a pivotal role in helping get the production of 155 self propelled artillery going in Ukraine by purchasing the first 18 for Ukraine.
Notably, the US didn’t give a shit about arming the Ukranians with sufficient mobile 155mm artillery to stop Russia’s invasion at a strategic level… which is another way of saying that the U.S. even under Biden didn’t seem to give a shit about truly helping Ukraine repel Russia rather than just turn the conflict into an extended quagmire.
That is exactly what giving weapons to a country without supplying them with sufficient 155mm artillery does, precisely, so I don’t know what other conclusion to reach here.
The US had the leverage and power to stop this nonsense with Ukraine a long time ago. We still could stop it if we wanted to.
Why don’t we want to. That is a better question.
What’s this nonsense about governments pushing other governments over the edge as to not to succumb to Trump’s destruction?
The European governments that lean fascist spring to mind: they’re ready to do what it takes to get in the good graces of the USA and/or Russia, even if it undermines the rest of Europe. For example: Meloni’s Trump visit risks breaking EU unity - Paris
The EU and China are both raising tarriffs on the US goods in return.
The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.
It’s all part of the plan.
Dear Guam. Please take me with you when you leave
Libs really believing that imperialism is a good thing.
Imperialism is bad but the collapse of empires can lead to centuries long dark ages. The fact of the matter is the dissolutionment of the United States would be a decades long process to minimize the impact of its collapse, instead we may very well see it gone within a couple of months at this rate depending on how things turn out.
Already most international trust is gone, it will be at least a decade before that comes back.
If everything stays on the current track the US will self impose as much of a full isolationist policy as it can within this “presidential” term, this is to fully focus on the internal situation and destroy any option of rebellion and dissent.
Police/National Guard will be strictly enforcing presidential decrees and oppressing the American people .
Their armored personnel carriers and gatling guns will come in handy now.In a few years workers will be forced into (cheaply bought up) government/factory housing because their own properties will be too expensive to keep.
And with the upcoming low wages the need for 4 jobs just to be able to buy groceries will keep them locked in fear of losing any pay they have or the house they may rent.By the time the things inside the US are fully locked in, the tax breaks have fully caught up, losses of foreign trade incomes and loss of military sales all stack up.
So the US is declared bankrupt by the outside world because the trust is gone a long time now and the US makes it clear there is no intention to pay its debts.This will cause the US to look outward again, not to make allies but to conquer lands for products/goods that it still has a (growing) shortage of.
If there was no moment for a true WW3 before this, it will be the moment it starts:
The US will declare war on multiple countries and attack them in small scale skirmishes. Meanwhile China has massively invaded Taiwan, the US will not be able to stop it. Crazy Kim launches missiles at Japan and South Korea just to join the chaos, Iran openly attacks Israel with backing of multiple other Islamic states, they have not forgotten Gaza’s destruction. And Russia profits by invading eastern Europe unimpeded. Armies of 80.000 Europeans are no match for a force of 1.300.000 Russian cannon fodder.
This all sounds like futuristic doomspeak, but it all could happen within 8 years. China has been preparing for a large conflict to happen around 2030, even moving its industry deep inland. Trump is well on his way to demolish in 2 years any international trust that the US will do the right thing or can be called upon for help. He will leave/dismantle NATO and be excluded from a new NATO variant that buys its weapons elsewhere. Putin has proclaimed he expects to fight whomever within 4 years.
It is 2025 now, and things are very clear that Trump’s hunger for power will be the catalyst accelerating everyone to a very destructive WW3.
I don’t think the article was really pronouncing on that. I understood it as describing a dynamic fairly impartially, without bringing in that kind of evaluation. Even if the author admits that imperial decline is is a painful process, I don’t see them implying that empire is a good thing.
