    Wow it would really suck if “Russia” nuked a US city right now. A city like NYC that is the old center of financial power. It’s not like there’s a new order in California of fintech ready to replace it should it fall. It would just be so surprising if a US city was nuked. Then continuity of government kicked in, a hapless senile President was retired and the private-public partnership military industry took over. Surely nobody is planning on retooling the US government as a major power against China and haven for the wealthy during climate wars.

    Anyways. We gotta get that Putin guy, he has nukes.

      They don’t need to do that. Not to say murdering millions of American innocents isn’t on the table, they just don’t need to bother. We’re 3 years or less away from complete theocratic fascism and foreign policy is already and has been for 70 years completely controlled by corporate interests. In regards to Russia, as far as I can tell military escalation is just as useful as military conflict.
