    Happened to the USSR and we’re still around, but even Yeltsin was more rational than the christofascists running the US so who knows?

      Thats my fear. Imagine of the ppl that got trump in power got some nukes or like corpos?

      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.

      Counterpoint: Yeltsin was drunk all the time, and ran out into the street naked, at least once. Trump has yet to do this.
