    This is not about 2025 American politics. Think in terms of game theory, pure logic, drop your morals. If you’re you the baddest dude in the hood, why would you let weaker men trap you into binding agreements that might bite your ass down the road? All risk, no reward, foolish.

    America won’t be a real member of the international community until we are militarily and economically forced into the role.

    See the gathering of generals and the warlike speech yesterday? They know we’re slipping economically. Only way to counter, for a fascist, is military might. Once you’ve built your power on a single man never being wrong, forging ahead no matter what, there is no turning back. Plus, our leader is a dementia addled old man. All he understands is kicking ass and lording power and money over others. God knows what he’ll do or say next, but you can count on that behavior.
