An empire needs a frontier. It collapses without one. So what is the U.S.' next frontier project? Biden alluded to it a bit in his speech today, but is there any particular spot in the world that looks ripe for state department ghouls to conjure an existential threat to Freedom, Baseball and Applie Pie?

I mean unless it all just shifts to brinkmanship with China. But I think actual conflict with China runs up against the interests of too big a slice of the capitalist class to make anything more than saber-rattling a possibility in the short term.

    They're bringing the frontier home and I'm the excuse they've been praying for.

      The whole point is just to sell weapons, and with military police all but completely normalized and bourgeois chuds chomping at the bit to get their hands on all that high tech crap, I don't see why we wouldn't just turn inwards.

      The libs will create the conditions for brown shirts to rise during the next term or two and the republicans will have everything they need to go full fascist.

      Probably some latin america interventions too though, they're getting uppity again. Hell maybe that's the goal. Try to finish off what we started with the first indigenous genocides.
