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

    Now I had no doubt the US nuclear war policy is psychopatic and utterly deranged, but my god, I did not expect #3 to be this systematic and spiteful. What the hell are they even hoping to achieve after such a war? And with what people/resources? On what habitable part of the planet??

    I swear, this plan sounds like the brainfart of some game theorist locked in an ivory tower for decades. Abstracted so much away from this scenario with the main focus being to ensure everyone else 100% ends up worse than the US, rather than pausing to ask what position will the US be in.

    I guess it’s going to be those psychopatic oligarch ghouls hiding in their doomsday bunkers who will rebuild civilization… in which case, they can keep it and choke on the ashes.

    Thanks for the book recommendation, will check it out!

      That pretty much describes the people who draw up these plans. I mean, imagine the mindset you gotta adopt when being asked to come up with a victory condition in a nuclear war.
