**“THE COLD EMBRACE: STEPHEN MILLER’S NEW AMERICAN ORDER COMPARED TO NAPOLEON’S 1812 ‘CONTINENTAL SYSTEM’ — EXPERTS SAY IT’S ALREADY CRACKING”**
**WASHINGTON, D.C.** — In a late-night thread that has since gone viral with over 2 million views, historian Dr. Elias Vance dropped a bombshell comparison: **Stephen Miller’s aggressive immigration and trade enforcement strategy is the “Napoleonic Continental System of the 21st century.”**
