Explores how Trump’s policies reflect imperial decline, reliance on military coercion, and attempts to block global cooperation with rivals like China and Russia. Also covers the erosion of international law, climate policy rollbacks, and the shift toward tribute-based economic control as U.S. economic power wanes.
