English term or phrase: to assume
the dominant strain of American expansionist thought was always idealistic, emphasizing the peaceful expansion of trade and shipping; and on the other hand, philosophically it was naive and racist insofar as it assumed an expansionist destiny for Americans but was "unable to envision the possibility of the expansion of Asians toward the United States"

agree  AdamiAkaPataflo: sì, nel senso di "reputare anticipatamente" è forse persino più corretto di "presupporre" - "partire dal presupposto", per me, taglia la testa al toro :-)
