As an Evil Empire, America risks facing a Berlin-Tokyo-Brasilia-Delhi Axis that has the potential for defeating and partitioning America because that alliance won't commit genocide or plunder liberated countries. The thug Axis alliance gave even the defeated cause to fight back. Yes, America is an Empire -- but it has been far more effective as an Empire of Liberty. An Evil Empire (and Donald Trump is evil, as shown by his mealy-mouthed response to political thugs who tried to revive Nazi-like ideology or adapt it to old American trends).

The sort of America that has political prisoners (Donald Trump is vindictive enough to have them, except that the courts and law enforcement won't go along) and commits war crimes (senior Army, Navy, and Air Force officers will not go along) is the sort most likely to be defeated by a lethal coalition. After all, it was the weak nation of playboys (as Hitler saw them) that marched into Dachau and Mauthausen to put an end to the nightmare of the most Evil Empire in existence.

History moves far faster in recent centuries (the partitions of Poland in the late eighteenth century are the first portent) and really-fast in any 4T. Incompetence and cruelty are even more destructive than ever.

Tell me PBR are you naturally clueless or do you have to work at it?

There will be no Washington-Beijing axis. Economically speaking China is perhaps our greatest rival. A Washington-Moscow axis while not objectionable to me (I've been to Russia several times, Putin is doing good things and is a good man, a strong leader, etc, etc, etc) is just not possible as long as the Dimocrats still walk about in the halls of Congress. Their RINO buddies don't help either.

As for a Berlin-Tokyo-Brazilia-Delhi axis that is so without a clue as to be absurd. Germany is busy with its national suicide. Unless they chuck out Merkel and dismantle the EU and PDQ at that Germany as we understand it won't exist. It will be Germanistan. Japan has a demographic winter, so unless you expect them to send over their hoards of elderly to invade...well their military might even if they had such would be declining.

Brazil has problems keeping the lights on let alone taking on the US. What are they going to do? Invade us with immigration? Delhi could be a threat but they'd rather fight China or Pakistan instead.

From this I can conclude your understanding of current geo-realpolitik is minimal.
As for an America with political prisoners....it isn't as far fetched as you think. Alt-Left escalating violence will bring a dictatorship, the likes of which will make Daddy seem like an uber-democrat. There is a reason why Sargon called it Weimar America--unfortunately it will be an internal conflict than an external one. Europe has no ability to fight a world war, and Asia has no desire to.
