    Simple, without nukes we’ll have war, real war, real dead Americans.

    As opposed to dead everyone? Maybe consider that infinite war isn’t the default state of a normal country.

    Most of the reason the doomsday clock is so close right now, is because of Trump.

    Lmao not even fucking close. It was Obama who prepared this particular powder keg, it was Biden who set it off, it was Biden playing chicken with the nukes, and it was also Biden commissioning reports desperately looking for a scenario where he could let the fucking bombs fly.

    I know libs like to pretend they live in a James Bond movie but Russia isn’t interested in a protracted conflict with Europe, it’s been trying to integrate their economy with them for over 30 years and the US keeps sticking its dick in the punch bowl.

      If we draw down, between the number of nukes we have now, and 0, there will be a global war. The actual number of nukes won’t matter, humanity will be at risk of extinction.

      The only ones at fault for where we are now are the GoP and Trump. They’ve destabilized the Middle East by supporting Israels settlements, taken every dime from Putin to do his bidding for decades, tore up Pacific treaties to stop Xi, while doing every thing they can to get Iran to give them a pretense to invade.

        Do you draw your theories from any actual school of geopolitics/international relations, or are you just winging it?

        Because it seems like you’re your flying solo in your own paranoid mind palace, completely divorced from material reality.

          How about all of human history. It’s never worked out well for the larger hegemony to reduce itself to the benefit of adversaries.
