it struck me that the global reponse to Trumps Tariff War is to recreate the rough outline of the british empire.
today Canada and India effectively joined forces with india positioned to replace the USA as the major trade partner. England has rebuildtthe commonwealth at the same time also including Canada. All that is the british empire. That is already most of the Imperial mass.
At the same time Canada has completed trade arrangements with the EU and the Asian perimiter states. Canada is part of NATO and it could sensibly form up a new IPTO or Indian Pacific Treaty organization. for defense, Canada could easily provide a million man training facility in Wainright ALTA for both air and land combat training. That allows member contries to rotate trained up personel into cmbat ready soldiers. while keeping early training at home. Better yet it allows a million man force to be fielded directly any threat appears such as Taiwan.
commentators have only now gotten the Aluminum situation right let alone the possibility of an expanded military alliance mimicing the Raj. Now imagine a million Indian soldiers showing up in Taiwan to counter chinese intimidation.
This may never be the british empire, but it sure rhymes.
