    Hardly surprising, they know they can’t beat China in a conventional war. You’d think that would mean they could just be peaceful or something, but not the US. This is pretty much my biggest fear, that as their empire collapses, they nuke their enemies and destroy the world out of sheer malice.

      Pretty sure the scumbags running US regime would rather see human civilization end in a nuclear holocaust than see their empire fade.

        Really is scary to think about the fact that the fate of the world is in the hands of a bunch of angry, bitter old wealthy boomers who can’t handle being told “no” and will all be dead in 20 years, and might just decide to take the rest of us with them out of spite.

        Hopefully many of the grunts who operate these weapons will be unable to bring themselves to end humanity if it comes to that
