When people start talking about geopolitics, I reach for my revolver, because I am about to hear a 4 d chess argument for why an obviously immoral act (or just a "take") would be a smart political move.
In truth, though, even nationalists envision a world order.
The key thing is that people are only willing to sacrifice unimportant principles and minor players in the great game. Anything else is self-defeating.
When putative white nationalists are willing to drop the ethnonationalist principle and defame agents like Azov to parrot Russian imperialist talking points, they are revealing either that they have fundamentally incompatible values or that they have never given the matter any serious thought.

The Mar a Lago raid is a blunder for the establishment and a win for us no matter what the outcome. It increases polarization. It increases distrust for the establishment. If Trump is not disqualified from running, he will crush everyone in his path and get into the WH. This is the worst case scenario. The best case is that he is disqualified, becomes a martyr, and DeSantis or Tucker rides the wave of vengeance into the White House.
