American foreign policy under Trump is not isolationist. On the contrary, MAGA ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve the interests of American crypto, mineral and tech companies, especially if they have links to the president. They think of themselves as "the vanguard of a movement that will alter not just America, but the world."

The sovereign individuals who are of course the world’s “cognitive elite” destined to rule over the universe as digital gods, Have demonstrated that they are very good At waging war on us from the White House, but every other autocrat out there looks only to their interest they have no loyalty.
These dumb dumbs in the US are playing checker at the international game of poker where everyone is cheating

Oh, and also, it is funny how they are international cabal not quite seeking a one world government, but uniformity in object tyranny.
It’s still every accusation is a confession

It's not enough to beat them, they need to be annihilated at the polls.
Dems need to quit the petty bickering among themselves and focus on the true danger. -

" ...world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power.
These are the iron laws of the world that have existed since the beginning of time.”
Miller’s words surely appealed to the business leaders who are delighted to see the tools of American government and diplomacy being redeployed, not to build a world that’s safe for democracy, or even safe for Americans, but to create a world that’s profitable for them."

Not very different, really, than the 16th and 17th century trading companies formed to extract sugar, spices, fur, etc from colonies. Like the Dutch East India or Hudson Bay companies. -

Take solace in that the ultras through their greed are becoming fewer and fewer, and their thugs are cowards without their arms. Now that their dirty hands are out in the open, they have made themselves easy targets. Money is debt after all, and theirs is the most toxic and acrid! #JusticeWins #TheReckoning #HomunculusHydra

National Security Strategy is clear on planned US energy dominance of the world and an explanation for Venezuela, Iran, Canada, Greenland and Europe as a consumer (EU Trade Deal - 750 billion for energy imports from US). They have no sense of shame.
„Restoring American energy dominance (in oil, gas, coal, and nuclear) and reshoring the necessary key energy
components is a top strategic priority. ….
Expanding our net energy exports will also deepen relationships with
allies while curtailing the influence of adversaries, protect our ability
to defend our shores, and—when and where necessary—enables us to
project power. We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net
Zero” ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the
United States, and subsidize our adversaries.“ -

It really hammers down the fact that to a large extent democatic processes are not working in the US anymore, and that we should treat this as an actual political revolution of a certain class of rich people against democracy.
Also thr threat to Europe and democratic nations elsewhere, which is coming from from the US, has already leveled up to an active political interference campaign, already effecting our societies.
