This is doomer as fuck, but I predict an American Belisarius.
There is going to be a final gasp of warmongering conquest upon the continent. My least optimistic prediction is that America is going to turn Mexico into a sacrifice zone to prevent northern migration as the climate crisis peaks. A military background having comprador could easily become the “American Belisarius” and conquer southwards to create a borderlands. Similar to what NATO is trying to turn the western ukraine into.
Thoughts?
Possibe but it’s also possible that fractures into something else before that, maybe the worst elements in the south make some attempt at reforming the confederacy and they’re the ones who attack Mexico
Hard to say what the future holds but I believe the current surge in movement against the genocide of Palestinians is a golden opportunity for the left globally and even within
The young are overwhelming on the side of Palestine here, which means most of them are open to learning other things they’ve been lied to about and that’s something we shouldn’t squander
Edit: keep in mind, the cartel situation is fucking bad. The fascists are exploiting it for rhetoric. The issue is real though. It provides tinder for an Ill-fated spark
That also scares me tbh. The majority of true believers who enter the officer corps are beltway or biblebelt. If the south takes Texas and the Carolina’s a majority of the elite light infantry go with it.
That’s fucking bad news and could lead to a rogue force situation.
I hope you’re right, I’m just being paranoid rn I guess.
Not a prediction, but a wish, for an American Elagabalus.
