What had once been at the fringes of right-wing libertarianism is now mainstream in Washington. Greenland has long been on the radar of the crypto-libertarians as a territory to start their 'network states' dream; coincidentally, just as their cash has captured Washington politicians, the US is now talking of invading it.

Is there a more harmful dynamic at play? If those who believe your country is in irreversible decline are put in charge, might they intentionally worsen its state to prove their point? Some argue this is already happening.

Coincidentally, some might argue that is happening too.
