I've gotten the impression from reading Vox Day that the US, or at least some of the power brokers, recognize our sunsetting empire and decided it'd be easier to control our own hemisphere, which contains resources in Venezuela and Greenland, to survive against the inevitable domination of the Eastern hemisphere. Will it work? Can we sustain without the product of White Americans? Probably not, and it seems like desperation, or the powers that be using Trump as the ultimate scapegoat to bring in every backup thing they want to extend their power as much as possible.The problem is it’s Danish, do we declare war on Denmark and have Americas most ridiculous, and probably shortest, war ever?
Second - world precedent. Doing stuff like this actually negatively affects Americas dominance because as we go, so does the world. We kind of blew up our own order. What’s to stop China from going “this is our Monroe Doctrine? Get out of our back yard. We don’t want you in the Philippines and Japan anymore. Leave or we’ll destroy your bases” or Putin thinking “wait, I can kidnap people?”
