Thinking about the instability and turmoil in the US

Given all the extremist political rallies and the fact that the US has gone through two presidents in three years, wouldn't our interests be more effectively protected if we established some sort of stable junta or one man rule there?

Let's establish a dictatorship in a neighboring country with ~10x our population and economy and ~33x our military expenditure! This will help protect our easily assimilable culture and rich natural resources!

~33x our military expenditure!

As I have often said, to invade the US you really need to have the US helping you. They are the only country equipped to subjugate themselves.

Taking India as an example of how a smaller country can take over a larger one, it would help if we exploited existing divisions in American society; get them to fight each other for us.
