Between his CNN interview and his new tweets, Stephen Miller has now come out for unshackled American imperialism underwritten by assumed western civilizational supremacy. His relitigation of 1965 immigration act (which I wrote about) are functionally a way to call for some species of recolonization
Stephen Miller also very plainly believes he's awakening Kipling's Saxons from their Jewish hypnosis. He's just figured out a slightly more disguised way of saying it

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

President Trump has offered a variety of reasons for his intense ambitions in Venezuela and Greenland.
But one tie binds them all: They hold many of the critical minerals essential to AI and defense technology — and therefore future global dominance.
