      my galaxy brain take is to get the rest of his party in line for whatever the spooks are planning next, wild guesses being

      1. reconciliation with SK and TW for alignment against CN
      2. shittier economic policies in the greater APAC region to create conditions for a US spatial fix
      3. idk, even more hawkish military buildup
