Alex wants a militaristic, repressive dictatorship to be put into place, and that would be, in his eyes, winning. The implications of what he's suggesting are nightmarish. Leaving the United States under complete authoritarian rule and engaging in a world war with likely few allies. When has that ever gone wrong? It's a bad idea. Ah, come on. Honestly, it just can't feel anything else than like a manifestation of Alex's desperation. Like the ridiculous extent to which the things he wants to see or he's advocating would be a disaster kind of just lead you to believe like, okay, well, this is what Alex has to do to feel anything anymore or what he needs to do, how extreme he needs things to get in order to get people to give him money anymore.
