this entire cohort of decrepit American leadership is old enough to remember living through times when the USA was still adding states and doing territorial expansion, and at some level they think boom times will come back if they perform the same cargo cult rituals

You can't invest into the already conquered territory because it's all going out of the government coffers into the hands of billionaires. Real dying empire shit.

  • Russia has in recent years sought to claim territory up to Greenland's Exclusive Economic Zone.

Based. Also I think what @[email protected] says is probably the most correct assumption. On top of that all the old ghouls that actually did realpolitik and had a grasp of the "great game" of geopolitics during the cold war are dead or dying and we now have a bunch of failsons high on their own supply running the show in both parties.

Kissinger knew about geopolitics, that's why he was such a monster, even he was saying the war in Ukraine had to stop.
