It seems that every country in the world outside America, China or russia should be armed enough and have dangerous allies. So that these "spheric colonists" will bleed out if they try to start their globalism.

Idk how to do it, but admitting it is a first step, I guess.
The very idea that a nation can "own a hemisphere" is ridiculous. It's the type of deluded nonsense you'd usually hear a Dugin ramble about.
Trump’s hemisphere talk implies that China and Russia also get their own spheres of influence, which would be detrimental to the entire world.

Trump is the best gift Putin and Xi could ever dream of
