You are putting in a single image the points that I've been relying-on & mentioning for awhile.

I can see why ideologues would be downvoting you/this..

It's accurate.

The 1 thing that you didn't mention, & that's probably best for you, is that there are 3 categories-of-game:

• Positive-Sum Game - Win-Win Alliance
• Zero-Sum Game - Competitive-Narcissism
• Negative-Sum Game - Competitive-Nihilism

& that Putin & Netanyahu, as mass-shooters do, are definitely playing competitive-nihilism with competitive-narcissism in the mix, but the greater the destruction, the "higher their score".

Trump's playing the same game.

So long as nobody equals his career-destruction-of-the-ones-opposed-to-his-kingdom ( throughout the next few years ), then he's "won".

The de-naturalize-all-who-he-wants-to-ICE law he's sitting-on, waiting until he's got dictatorship ( then he can make everybody who isn't MAGA into "illegals", through already-ready law ), & the incinerators that he'll be having built at all the ICE plants, will be his domestic eradication program..

..but he'll be conscripting everybody he can for his wars-of-conquest, from annexing Canada & Greenland, for his "Greater North America" "manifest destiny", to rampaging on Central & South America, for imperial-expansion, or at least destroying intolerable-autonomy from his part of the world..

Yes, they're of the same basic nature, & they're playing the same category-of-game as their primary game.

The diff is that Trump's still progressing to his crystallization, whereas both Putin & Netanyahu have already got to theirs.

Millei's seeming to be willingly following in their footsteps? ( seriously: voting against the UN resolution on slavery?? )

Orban, too.. ( I don't bet 2-cents on the competitor being allowed to win the Hungarian election: Orban'll break that potential ANY way he can, to retain power. I hope the new guy wins, .. but the left has usually been too soft, lately, like the Democrats' "electing" of Harris.. mind you, her being a hard-line Netanyahu-backer sure as hell didn't help, but coasting on assumed-victory COSTS, & the left doing the same accommodating in Millei's 2nd election.. why protest, if you wouldn't vote against?? whatever )

I'm thanking you for the work you put into this..

Concise is a good thing, sometimes.
