    The Global South cannot get nukes fast enough. The only way to deter the US is to show that it will get glassed by everyone if it tries any shit.

    Luckily the US’s non-existent industry can’t really sustain a prolonged nuclear arms race (e.g. how slow even conventional US munitions are being built). Back in the Cold War, the USA used the nuclear arms race to waste Soviet industrial resources. Now, the Global South can flip the same strategy on the US.

        This is a huge misconception lots of peope have with nuclear bombs. All modern nukes around 0.5 megatons, so no modern nukes are Tsar Bombas. That means each nuke cannot wipe out more than a ~5 mile radius max.

        Humans have already tested more than 2000 nukes and we’re still here.

    Doesn’t shock me. I’ve seen a few stories over the past month implying the US is getting ready to glass China for being successful. They seem to think committing genocide will bring manufacturing jobs back or something.

      Do you have any articles or reading on that in particular? I’m hoping to somehow get my family and I to China before 2026-ish, because I don’t want to be in the Amerikkkan hellhole when or if shit hits the fan.

    I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

    There’s a literal plan on what to do if a zombie outbreak were to occur, so why do one think preparing for something more plausible is off the table?

      Feels fitting that the US military would prepare for a zombie outbreak, considering that most of its enemies are in some part fictions it conjures up in order to justify attacking.
