Black Pigeon argues that the Trump was never going to be able to deliver on Make America Great Again (MAGA) because (1) MAGA is incompatible with the U.S. status as an empire (and abandoning the benefits of empire would result in the loss of all the "benefits" we--or rather, the elites--enjoy from an empire) and (2) the influence that Israel wields over the U.S. government.
Just a couple quick thoughts. First, if his thesis is correct, and I believe it is, it underscores yet again how modern Leftism is, in fact, the opposite--the inversion--of what it claims to be. Because if MAGA is anti-imperial, then by necessity the Leftists opposed to MAGA policies are rooting for world imperialism.
Second, it would be worth it. The path of empire only leads to decline and dissolution.

We have one of the very few countries in the world that straddles so many agricultural zones and contains so many and varied mineral resources that it doesn't need to import anything, just chooses to do so.
ReplyDeleteExactly. We don't need to be an empire.
