    The US is going to fall back on dominating the economies of those fooled into sanctioning themselves from Russia and China. The US is targeting certain nations to subjugate in the way they tried with China within Europe and Latin America (like Germany and Mexico). Asking for more “free trade” from these economies which is a euphemism for letting American Capital seek rent on every branch of your economy.

    If things go this route watch VW and Nintendo get bought out by American firms, Samsung and Toyota. The US would want tight controls over chips, Lithium, and Cobalt. The Suburban nation collapses without those inputs.

      I think that’s exactly it. Hudson put it really well in this interview. He basically says the proxy war was a holding action. US realized the empire is crumbling, and they’re trying to make Europe entirely dependent on them to keep it in their orbit. And to a lesser extent this applies to their other vassals.

      I do think this policy could backfire spectacularly in the end as people in these countries will inevitably start connecting the dots between their collapsing standard of living and US hegemony over them.
