I want future generations to look at this question thread and marvel at our predictions and probably make lots of fun of us 😂

    I don’t know if they are crazy enough to start WWIII. The columnists are but the senior pentagon officials have to be smarter. My guess would be another war of attrition with China where the US will have its proxy forces whittled down until the empire is no longer a military threat. If full on WWIII happens we’re all dead.

      The US alone has repeatedly tried to start World War III. It’s the restraint of other countries and sheer dumb luck that has prevented it.

      Look at the US poking Russia for over a decade about red-line issues on their border. They barely give a shit that it’s a nuclear power and they’ll use any excuse to declare that there was an attack on a NATO country to ramp up the pressure even more. US ghouls don’t know how to stop or deescalate, they only know how to argue about different ways to destroy their enemies no matter what.

      Things are going to get very bad once the US is actually backed into a corner. It acts completely recklessly when it’s under very little threat.

      Perhaps not intentionally, but that won’t matter once we’re dead: List of nuclear close calls

        I know about the close calls. There may be nuclear war by some stupid accident. I’m not putting my money on it. On the other hand the US might a wild card once they realize they’re no longer too dog.
