I think the US finally realized they can not compete in a globalized world and keep 8000m people obedient and dependent, so the push to partition the world to remain relevant and competitive has now come.
What's worse is that the US is fully aware this could result in another European war, and they coldly calculate that the US mainland would be entirely spared of damage, and that the US would be the single condition for the rebuilding of Europe with unpresedented control over politics, trade, and economy.

Simple mental exercise: imagine Russia or China working out plans with Cuba to set up an MWD-armed military base there, then try to figure out if the US would invade.
- barelysapient 4y agoI think the Western pattern of a 'rules based' international order worked fairly well for the last 70-80 years. As the world order migrates into a new system, be that whatever it shapes up to be, our grandchildren will be best positioned to learn if its an improvement. I don't think the transition will be orderly. It'll be dirty, violent and probably a major bummer to a lot of poor people.
