I definitely think USMC is the direction to go. Focus on our neighbors, and not some countries on the other side of the planet. They are kind of the buffer between us and the rest of the world. Trade can and should be mutually beneficial. If we can help Mexico increase trade and reduce cartel power, their economy will boom. While helping America's problems with Cartels and shit hole countries using us as a social pressure release.

Enders Game universe had a similar concept. A slowly spreading global trade network between sovereign nations that upheld basic human rights.

To use Europe as an example. European nations didn't need to give up their sovereignty to the EU (Germany, but at least Germany didn't win the war and take over Europe, right?) in order to trade with other European nations.

Great points, especially about trade reducing Mexican cartel power.

I hope more nations leave the EU too and regain their nations back. All this forced migration in Europe seems to be the EU covertly trying to further erase borders and nationalism to dig their hooks in deeper.

Even at the humanitarian level, we need more first world nations not less.
