In a world where Russia has invaded Ukraine, and China is eyeing Taiwan, it’s not only an embarrassment, but a political weakness to have the President-elect repeatedly talk about the absorption or annexation of sovereign allied nations and their territories. He said it one time and it was “hurr durr it’s just a joke” and now it’s all he can talk about. I don’t believe he has any interest in actually doing it - but I think it’s an intentional effort to normalize these conversations for the dictators and oligarchs he looks up to, who have current, and active, imperial ambitions.

This behavior sets a dangerous precedent and undermines diplomatic efforts. It's crucial to uphold respect for sovereignty and international norms, rather than trivialize such serious matters.
