Unless something more material like a whole continent turning anti-imperialist, if not socialist, and deciding collectively to nationalize the fruit and veg produce, and thus disrupts U.S’s produce imports -

I don’t think any internal problems in America would reach to a boiling point, as to end on a conclusive note

So what if it’s a big deal to you, huh, America is the most armed-country, and has a lot of guns, yet no civil war(s) has occurred recently… it’s just reactionary settler business as usual

Im America, nichts neues

    I don’t think we should be correlating nuclear capability with conventional military power.

    Yeah, the US military is on the decline. They have shit equipment, bad logistics, and not enough soldiers to carry out a global conflict.

    But a nuclear exchange does not need any of these things, except equipment/technology, which is largely shrouded in secrecy, so we don’t know what exactly their state is. We know that a bunch of their systems are automatic, and I wouldn’t put it past them to be implementing AI for targeting.

    They also have a bunch of politicians, officers and bureaucrats that seem to be trigger-happy.

    At any rate, even if the US is unable to carry out an effective launch, even if 5-10% of their nukes successfully strike anything, we are talking about massive devastation.
