Walmart or Amazon now a nuclear power is a terrible thought.
Given that the US government exists to make megacorps like that as powerful as possible, they already effectively are, they’re just saved the inconvenience/expense of directly maintaining their own military and nuclear stockpile.
My bigger concern tbh is a post-balkanization Texas or Utah. Evangelicals and Mormons are a whole lot more likely to let the nukes fly to bring about the end times imo.
Of the half billion or so actual joined-an-org-and-doing-work communists, the number who are fans of such a niche videogame category is basically a rounding error, and being a furry is even less common.
I’ve read more than one economist say there’s less than a year left of the dollar being the world reserve currency. Whatever timeframe I am not sure, but it’s definitely not a forever thing.
People in the US are in for a rude awakening both economically and when their increasingly unhinged government starts desperately lashing out. One of the big motivations for the Nazis to invade Poland when they did was a bunch of loans they had hidden with financial trickery were about to come due and they couldn’t pay.
The wealthy don’t keep much cash. I’m pretty sure Trump has said that he wants a weaker dollar, or at least implied it. I’ve heard some people speculate that the admin is purposely trying to end the dollar’s status as the world’s de facto reserve currency. If they’re serious about bringing most manufacturing back to the US, the dollar needs devalued, and real wages need to plummet. The admin is also heavily involved in crypto schemes.
nothing, because people who hope for this also think when it happens they will be the action hero that saves everyone else.
they tend to lack the understanding of complex institutional systems that safeguard things like nuclear weapons, because they basically hate/blame them for their own unhappiness with their lives.
Hmmm collapse of country with enough nukes to blow up planet several times. What could go wrong?
The USSR collapsed with a large amount of nukes.
Californians: don’t make the same mistake Ukraine did.

straight out of Putin’s mouth
The USSR has about twice a many nukes in 1991 as the entire world has today.
The Soviet Military in it’s final days of existence also worked closely with the US to prevent proliferation.
Happened to the USSR and we’re still around, but even Yeltsin was more rational than the christofascists running the US so who knows?
Counterpoint: Yeltsin was drunk all the time, and ran out into the street naked, at least once. Trump has yet to do this.
Trump is a tee totaller, but we might get his demented ass stumbling into a river like Yeltsin.
Let’s forget about raping children… I guess.
That’s some wild proposition, with a high value of truth. What is this?
Thats my fear. Imagine of the ppl that got trump in power got some nukes or like corpos?

Yeah, US collapse means a billion people die as a result of the global economic collapse that would result.

Tankies aren’t even close to the only people hoping the US collapses.
