A long article about the US divided politically but maintaining constancy in terms of national power (economic, financial, political, diplomatic, military and cultural), with clear criticism of the new president.
I believe that Trump has much greater clarity in terms of where the US is going and what to do to change it, Trump's current stated intentions regarding the Panama Canal, Canada and Greenland are an attempt to seize a greater sphere of American dominance in the Western Hemisphere and are a direct consequence of the outcome of the Ukraine War.
It is a loss of global hegemony to the inexorable realities of a multipolar world of balance of powers. The empire is crumbling and the US is simply moving fast to secure strategic depth in its own neighborhood. It is worth remembering that with the melting of the ice, huge areas of Canada will become more habitable and exploitable, as will Greenland which also allows control of the Arctic sea routes that could be the new South China Sea.
This is Trump making America a superstate. Strategically, this makes perfect sense, if that is exactly the political objective. The plan is very clear:
To transform the United States into a superstate with a territory of 20 million km2, a GDP greater than that of China, endowed with immense resources of its own and controlling almost all sea routes, including half of the Arctic, contrary to all Russian interests in the region. This continental superpower will become a global power without the expense of a global presence, will control its entire strategic environment and emerge into a new multipolar world.
