The Great Meme War of 2038: Diplomacy by Dogecoin?

By 2038, international relations will be significantly influenced by viral internet memes, with nations subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) waging diplomatic battles through cleverly crafted online campaigns. Think state-sponsored deepfake videos of world leaders doing the Macarena, followed by retaliatory meme-based sanctions and a global surge in cryptocurrency-funded meme-based political action committees. The ultimate victor will be determined not by military might, but by who can generate the most effective, globally-viral meme.
