    Just out of curiosity, what do you think happens when the US empire collapses into warlords? Because the nukes aren’t just gonna disappear.

      Are they the only ones with those weapons?

      Is the entire world just supposed to bend over and keep getting shafted by white supremacists because USA got nukes?

      The collapse has started. There’s no turning back at this point, thankfully. It’s up to them to decide if they want to play nice with the rest of the world or keep living in their bubble.

        Do you think you’ll have better luck with a young, charismatic colonel who has managed to earn the absolute loyalty of his men through sheer competence without ever publicly stating a political position?

        Because if you do, I have a number of Latin American paradises to sell you. (Those colonels go by el presidente now)

          Who do you think kept overthrowing elected governments to install dictators in so many countries around the world?

          Especially in Latin America?

          Who do you think is responsible for making sure Haiti or Cuba can’t succeed?

          Do you think USians ever tired of carrying all that White Man’s Burden? It must be exhausting having to teach billions of people how to be “civilized”, no? Poor USians… my heart goes out to em!

            So your solution is just to make things worse for everybody, worldwide, without any forethought?

              Why do you think that the world shifting away from a eurocentric worldview is automatically going to make things worse for everybody?

              Who told you that humanity can not survive without white supremacists controlling the lives of everyone else?

              Why do you refuse to acknowledge the fact that things got worse for billions when USA assumed the position of the sole hegemon?

                Because you’re proposing doing so through immediate collapse instead of the gradual decline of the last 30 years.
