      M&A for countries is making a comeback. This was big in the 1800s with Louisiana, Florida, Alaska purchases. China has already gotten the ball rolling with deals in Sri Lanka and Haifa, and of course Belt & Road. https://twitter.com/tylercowen/status/1162402771552940032 …

      Why do authoritarian or democratically backsliding countries feel more emboldened to do these kinds of things? How crass is framing erosion of democratic self-governance as "M&A"? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/16/opinion/hong-kong-kashmir-trump.html …

      geography has only been frozen for a few decades, and largely because of america’s military superpower. nations shrinking, expanding, reshaping is the rule, not the exception to it. fukuyama was wrong, history will carry on.

      I too am nostalgic for WWI and 19th century imperialism.

      Come on Kim. I consider you a friend and you’re smarter (and nicer!) than this. You know Michael is not advocating for imperialism. Is it possible there are other options besides imperialism and endless invasions for democracy? That’s all.

      I mean. I'm worried you're discounting the reality that de-stabilizing the postwar order of the last 70 years ... is probably violent and devastating in ways we can't anticipate right now.

          accidental superpower. it felt a little too wedded to the geographic essentialism stuff, but i thought everything on bretton woods, our military, and trade was really illuminating.
