      No one claimed Trump was a peacenik (or at least, no one of serious repute claimed that). What some of us did claim was that Trump’s predilections made it likely he’d roll back the US Empire, at least around the margins. And wouldn’t you know it...

      How does militarizing the border and suggesting he'd like to give troops their the right to shoot migrants fit into this?

      The border has already been militarized, at least big parts of it, for years. So I wouldn't say that marginally increasing militarization on some parts of US territory meaningfully detracts from my point, although certainly it's a legitimate issue. Just separate from my point.

      I'm not sure it is separate in the sense that the Trump/Miller worldview is that we shouldn't be fighting in the Middle East but protecting ourselves from the real threat (Hispanics). It's not a typical USA imperialism but it's also not a peaceful vision.

      The notion of "US Empire" generally refers to foreign territory controlled by the US government. Discussions of a border wall, etc. involve US territory. So in that sense they're separate. Also agree it's not a "peaceful" vision -- I don't share it. Just recognize outcomes.

      I would hardly call the current state of Afghanistan and Syria "controlled by the US government".

      Then you're not familiar with how occupying military forces operate.

          When a military force seizes territory in a foreign country, it exerts jurisdictional control over that territory. So yes, the territory is thus "controlled by the US government," and that's true regardless of whatever credentials you may personally have.
