SA is where we’re headed, in search of gold, basically. It’s the “If they’re all coming here anyway, we’re gonna need to grab what they left behind to fund it.” rationale. Plenty to exploit from beef and minerals to oil and cheap labor. NATO is last millennium. He wants a North American Treaty Organization - NATO.

With Europe the tough nut for Trump will be getting Greenland access. Rare earth, baby. Of course, if you kneecap the ME and own the Americas, you have stuff to barter for it.

Asia is China’s as long as they stay out of SA. Australia is nervous which is why they’re helping us right now. Japan doesn’t want to be left to China either.
