Mostly agree.

If JD Vance or Marco Rubio however get elected in 2028, I think they'll be really quiet about it, and slowly cease all activity around Iran, and make whatever minimum concessions they can to get the Strait of Hormuz open. But they won't blame it on Trump.

BIG if, as to either of those two ending up President though. I question if either of them make it through the GOP primary in 2024, due to simple need for change. I think a stoic, calm, old-school conservative not in the system, who can move forward as their own person, and not a Trump lackey, is more likely (Cotton. Kennedy. Younkin?).

I don't think it has to be a republican president. Any other president including a democratic president will do the same. The party differences only change the internal politics (to a certain degree) but the imperialist foreign policy of trying to control regions, overthrowing governments and funding entities and allies remains a priority over the development of the country regardless of the party as it always has.

I think a real foundation for both parties is to protect corporate capitalism, protect the plutocracy.

Yes that's pretty much it imo. I'm sure everyone can see it atp tbh. The foreign policy which isn't owned by democracy, it's owned by elite capitalistic billionaires who want to expand their wealth across the world.

Hence why I think there's a chance Trump invades Cuba in 2027. It serves a dual purpose for him. First, it can be a distraction from all his other corrupt and crappy things he does, plus Iran. Taking Cuba also sets up another real perk: The US could instill a Pinochet like puppet, the land could be confiscated, US capitalist developers could then put luxury resorts, beachfront hotels, or just mansions on it, claiming to rent or lease the land from Cuban citizens, and make even more money for themselves. Plus they would get an incredible deal on really cheap Cuban labor.

Tbh I'm really surprised they didn't go for Cuba before this war. Not understanding that one.
