“Tempting as it might be to use Washington’s undoubted hard power to acquire more territory, Making America Great Again would be better achieved by shrinking rather than expanding the nation’s borders. When it comes to countries, bigger is not always better. The US already is too large for genuine republican government. And the ability to meddle overseas has led America into an increasing number of reckless military interventions, such as in Iraq. There are legitimate security issues at play in Panama, Canada, and Greenland, but none require US control.” (01/08/25)
