Geopolitics of the us - they are changing
the world and you can prosper
Geopolitics of the US are coming to light. Imagine a world in which there was no "world order" or "international law."
Imagine a world in which 19th century age of imperialism (where nations occupied other territory for resources) came back.
Well...I believe that it is. In fact we are seeing it take place now with the Trump administration 2.0.
During this second Donald Trump's presidency, the United States experienced a distinctive shift in its approach to foreign policy and international relations.
His administration’s focus on "America First" reshaped how the U.S. engaged with the world, often prioritizing national interests over multilateral agreements. T
his strategic pivot not only aimed to bolster the American economy and strengthen national security but also opened up unique opportunities for expatriates (expats) around the globe.
Let's go into how you too can find opportunity and improve the situation of you and yours as the world realigns with the new American geopolitical interests.
Geopolitics of the US - What are America's Goals?
America's goal is simple: to be left alone to provide the American way of life for her citizens. We will go into what the "American way of life” is below but for right now we will look at what America wants.
Well what does it look like? It means giving the US a nice plot of land for her people to do their thing. At the same time it means putting a moat around this plot of land and keeping everyone else away and "over there." That's it.
Now you might be thinking that...well...wouldn't every country what that for herself and her people? Well yes but they are not in a position to acquire it (although they try their hardest.) Every country has a different geography and circumstances. Some countries deal with more powerful neighbors and natural limitations. Not so much for America and she intends to keep it this way.
Another key difference is that Americans "doing their thing" involves grabbing a plot of land they can call their own and raising the next group of Americans who will continue the process.
So what does this look like? Well let's first go into how President Trump is trying to accomplish these goals for America.
Trump's foreign policy (if you can call it that) is a shift toward bilateralism. By favoring one-on-one negotiations, the administration aims to forge stronger, more beneficial agreements with individual countries.
Geopolitics of the US - What is the American Way of Life?
I’ll take a go at it. On the core of the American way of life is the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Americans are big believers in developing a sense of independence, knowledge of the self and creating a life based on that. Americans also have a tendency to “strike out” on their own as they learn to be autonomous at a young age and go where there is opportunity. Well now there is plenty of opportunity and we will look at why.
Geopolitics of the US - The Strategic Change
The last century was forged with the American response to perceived foreign threats. First it was the Japanese and the Germans then it was the soviets.
The German threat was neutralized at the end of the Second World War. Japan was also neutralized twice (first with the end of the Second World War and then in the 1980s economically.). The Soviet threat was…initially…contained. Having defeated Germany and Japan the next goal was to create a series of alliances that would contain the USSR. In exchange for the alliance the US would provide these allies with national security and trade opportunities.
Well the USSR has been defeated and Russia is a shadow of its former self. In other words: no longer a real threat to the US.
The US is now disengaging from this alliance structure that it has created and the shift in vision is shaking the world at its core. In fact it is now reshaping it to benefit Americans first as the US State Department claims.
Geopolitics of the US - How the World Can React
As the US removes its security guarantees and trade benefits countries around the world can do one of four things.
1 - countries can scramble to make their own new trade networks and regional alliances (attempts of this include BRICS and the EU)
2 - countries can challenge the United States directly or indirectly (Iran comes to mind)
3 - countries can cease to exist (Singapore cannot exist as it does currently without global trade under the American order.)
4 - countries can choose to align herself with the US in some way, shape or form.
This fourth option is what will allow you to find opportunities.
Geopolitics of the US - Opportunities Abound
We will focus on countries that will find themselves joining the United States as either a vassal state, a territory or become a state entirely. This is where you’d want to keep an eye on. No one can say with certainty which countries will find themselves here but we all have our guesses.
Below you will find videos of me describing what I suspect would be the next US territorial acquisition. I also go into why the US does what it does.

Conclusion - The New World Disorder Provides You With Opportunities
So here we go: The geopolitics of the US is changing as it does. This will bring you with opportunities in particular with nations that realign with the United States. You will find options that will range from expatriating abroad or moving to a new American state or territory.
