      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.

      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.

          Yeah. I had only been taught how Bretton Woods came together. I hadn’t considered the altered incentives that would pull it apart.

          came to this thread to plug @PeterZeihan and Accidental Superpower. He called a lot of this in 2014, recommend listening to him. Also don't forget shale and US becoming a net energy producer!

          I have been trying to find the opposition to Zeihan’s view. It *may* be “Why Nations Fail,” but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
