If it becomes acceptable to grab territory via military force, something that hasn’t been true since 1945, then tariffs will eventually come to seem very second order in terms of the implications for globalization.

I expect Venezuela to go for Guyana and Ethiopia for Dijbouti/somaliland for port access over the next few years. The international order is being abandoned. Trump and the US voters see that might is right.
Musk's Objective:
-Run/govern USA via Tesla xAI with Trump XOs
-Use Twitter & Dogecoin as USA payment system
(making payment to IRS would mean Dogecoin=currency)
Musk plan:
-Download entire US data infrastructure (Treasury DoD NOAA etc.) to Tesla xAI in Memphis
-Train Large Language Models on the entire US data infrastructure at Tesla xAI (possibly with Palantir)
Israel has occupied the West Bank for 56 years and annexed parts of Syria and Lebanon, Trump recognised Moroccan ownership of Western Sahara in 2020 and Biden never reversed it. This slow rot of the post WW2 international order is a long term result of US "global leadership".
Not sure the “Global south” thinks grabbing territories by military force hasn’t happened since 1945. In their eyes the West just bullied and forced the UN to create international law. Your opinion is a very Western alliance view.
Only last year, on the D-Day anniversary, Biden spoke of the importance of standing against the “dark forces” of aggression & greed, “the desire to dominate & control, to change borders by force”.
Kamala Harris also warned that
"If we allow aggressors..to take land with impunity, they keep going.”
