What a suprise that a proxy is treated as a proxy, especially once the mask comes off.

I would change one thing.

The United States of America is no longer a global hegemonic power.

It is now trying to solidify as a continental one.

The empire is dying and it is becoming increasingly regressive, reactionary, violent, and erratic as such.

Now if it gets Canada for resources, a future hold on the artic trade corridor, and a military outpost therein to secure it all that will mean empire 2.0 - Alongside this if it gets the strategic military outpost in Greenland and control of the Panama Canal for shipping/trade logistics and infrastructure than it will be the most powerful nation state in a multipolar world.

We've been blessed enough in recent months to see the U.S.A. transition from a global hegemony to a continental one. That era of the empires reach is ending.

If it can be denied Canada than it is almost guaranteed within a generation or two to simply be a regular nation state amongst nation states.

What every single person on the left needs to focus on right now is making sure it stays on that trajectory of lessening and lessening influence.

We really can't have the U.S. for what it stands for gain any footing again in the direction of being that primacy of powers in the multipolar future.

I think Japan? The hair is giving me Shinzo Abe (which would also mean the comic is pretty old). Otherwise, idk.

This gives way too much credit to trump and the US, and I think it’s a mistake to view the other countries as being in such poor shape.

I don't think it is giving America credit. It's just illustrating the US's aggressive and predatory foreign policy that feeds off it's supposed "firends" and closest allies - they will feed off of anyone to perpetuate their imperialist military complex agenda.

The US is burning out, and so even though they basically control their periphery (including us), it's not enough. They need to enforce their dominance while they can and keep us all dependent.

This is my view on what is happening and what is shown.
