Glory to the American empire.

Generally all great empires are a continuation of previous empires.
The Greek empire continued in the form of the Roman empire, the roman empire broke apart with one part taken over by various European tribes and the other continuing as the Byzantine empire.
The European tribes managed to grow enough as to go to the US and mix their genetics together there and form the next greatest empire in the world.
Now, the US being the greatest current empire in the world, the next great empire will be an obvious continuation of the US empire.
The US does not intend to take over any further land on Earth, so where does it go? To the moon of course.
It's free real estate, and only the US has the technology to access it and keep it.
The total area of the moon is 38 million square kilometers. Which is surprisingly a little smaller than the total land area of Asia.
The US is expected to set up a moon base before 2030.
China is the only country with plans to set up a moon base by 2035.
The new age of exploration is the race to colonize the moon.
If the US successfully colonizes the moon, and China fails to do so, and the US successfully manages to mine the moon, that would secure prosperity for their empire for generations to come.
The US is obviously going to successfully do it.
China is less likely to pull it off, as they are trying to set up a moon base in collaboration with Russia, which clearly does not have the competency to be able to pull off a project this big in scope and ambition.
In conclusion:
The US is going to take over the moon within this century.
Glory to the US.
The next stage of white flight is upon us.

We should set up a USMC moon base to launch counter-Chinese space patrols.
We need to develop combat spacesuit technology, and power armor like Starship Troopers (the book not the eurocuck movie version)
All mech suits are ripoffs of Heinlein, btw.

I disagree with your last statement.
Mech suits are too abstract a concept for one person to own them forever as an idea.
The delay in the creation of power armor is one of reality's disappointments.

Heinlein's mech suits were pretty specific. There were a lot of cool ideas in the book, too. He had "Calebs" which were genetically engineered German Shepards with IQs of like 100 or something. That's a cool concept
But good original ideas these days are far and few between and get copied by other artists just as bad as the AI they sneed about.
Look at Star Wars which is just a ripoff of Dune, or any modern fantasy which is just a ripoff of Tolkien.
Lol like Warhammer lmao the "Aldari"
