The shaft of the rays reflected and glinted off of the deep blue horizon, lighting up Lady Liberty's torch as dawn broke. Making for what could have been a rather vividly picturesque 'Greetings From New York' postcard. It has been one hundred and forty four years since she has towered over Liberty Isle along with all of New York City's 8.5 million diverse citizens. However, it would be no less than 24 hours until this historic epithet of New York City, were to re-branded into Great York City, in apparent celebration of the city being awarded the honor of re-classification into what was to become the new capital city of these United States of America. This logistically and financially taxing task was justified with the inevitable creation of jobs and integration of social programs to this re-structuring. This peculiar restructuring plan, would have never been a possibility twenty years earlier; nonetheless the plan was put into place to satisfy and appease our leader, and so it was executed.
In Political Science, there is this theory entitled 'Hegemonic stability theory', of which entails that if and when one nation in a particular sphere of influence were to dominate the international relations arena; the international system would remain stable. As early as time, any particular polity has sought to re-imagine world and how they can develop and progress. From early history with Sparta's domination of the Peloponnesian League, to pax Romana's dominion, and eventually to Umayyad Caliphate's Islamic revolution; which poetically projected dominance over the last remnants of the Eastern Roman Empire, of which Byzantium offered tributes. However, as the reign of each hegemon came to a close, and as the new hegemon rises, there could be certain, lets say 'disagreements' between two incompatible worldviews.
The last significant case of this being that of the First World War, when Germany attempted an arms race with Britain's both economically and militarily to become. Then again, during Second World War when Britain began to lose her hegemonic reign, to the Axis powers; if it was not for America's 'Arsenal of Democracy' perhaps the world would have delve into tyranny's clasps. Nevertheless, this perpetual cycle of the human condition struggle for power and reformation continues. Nevertheless, presently the year is now 2019 and democracy of this once great nation seems to have dwindle into dusk. While a new age beckons it's return into dawn, what lights Lady Liberty's torch may soon no longer be that of Freedom and Equality.
Texas, 43 miles from the Mexican border.
"Slow ride", the song played as the radio struggled to bellow at maximum volume out of it's tinny speakers, "Take it easy", the music continued. The back of the transport truck was atmospherically apprehensive, for a compartment filled with 12 you'd expect for there to be least some talking, however this was not the case today. Suddenly, an abrupt switched of tempo arrived upon the radio, "Make America Great Again" it crackled with that iconic tinny echo of mass produced speakers. Within mere seconds, after an uneasy pause the tempo shifted again "Make Americans Win Again", it replayed. With each interval of the statements, you could hear the clamor of applause and cheers from the adoring crowds, at the time when the speeches were made.
"Does anybody know when and where are we going to get there?", as the individual's curiosity had bested him, the silence was ruined. "All you need to know boy, is that we're all going South" the taller man sitting beside him glared, as he meticulously responded with haste and efficiency. "Make America Fight Back Again", a third pre-recording played on the radio, when all of a sudden the heavens and hell seemed to gradually split, as the skies and ground rumbled simultaneously, in harmonic synchrony. It was hot and humid, and the air filled with sweat accumulated from the eighteenth hour. The curios man, peered through flaps near the entrance of the truck, he was struck with awe as he witnessed the largest and most advanced military the world had to offer, mobilized to it's fullest capacity riding on their heels. As the reorganized United State's Army gradually edged closer, the divisions of Abram tanks was close enough so that the glorious clouds of dust blanketing the Texan desert could be admired. The sound of ten thousand tanks could only have been masked by the combined U.S air-force, thousands of Apaches, A-10s along with squadrons of F-22s.
The radio crackled again as the thunderous roar thousands soaring beasts descended it's fiery hatred upon Mexico City. Tomahawks and Hellfire majestically danced their furious salsa of death, reddening the earth from above. The Mexican soldiers sporadically fired their M4 Assault Rifles with weary desperation into the ceaseless skies; the Mexican anti-air capabilities were not inadequate 24 hours earlier; however mere hours before the invasion US Cyber-Command were able to disable their defense systems with a highly advance species of virus, code named 'Stux-net 4.0'. "Make American Great Again" creaked again with Donald's now croaking voice-box, the radio repeated again in a perpetual maddening loop. The doom of Mexico is now near while, in Donald Trump's vision, Manifest Destiny's renewal and 'These Greater United States of America' drew closer.
