MASA (Make America Small Again)

Isolationism, which means America abandons Ukraine and Taiwan, will ultimately do the reverse of what it intends. Diplomacy is a subtle form of colonialism which has allowed the United States to be a dominant power in Europe through both NATO and CENTO. The expense of NATO which Trump has railed against is actually a sound economic investment. Trump and Musk negotiating a deal is the first stage in ceding power to Putin. Dreams of an Imperial Russia will be enhanced by Axis allies like North Korea, China and Iran. Once a commanding presence in both the East and West, the U.S. will become small. The loss of political power will anticipate an economic decline--as a newly dominant bloc of nation states divide the spoils amongst themselves.
