Ah I was seeing a parallel between:

1. Our post WW2 neocolonial activity and the current admins push to sort of blatantly get control over Venezuela and Greenland.

2. Our WW2 manufacturing and export based economy that made us wealthy. Is similar to the current admins push to reform us from importers to exporters using tariffs and rebuilding manufacturing (at least on the surface the execution of this has been terrible).
