      I find it weirdly reassuring that the muppets in charge are all hardcore capitalists and grifters and are the best guarantee they will push this as far as possible without destroying the planet or the economy.

      Not saying there will be no death and destruction, but in the end they’ll just want to keep grifting.

      It will, look up how many times NK got invaded after they got nukes lmao. Nukes work because they’re scary. Would it work on the US? No idea, they seem to lack some very basic human instincts.
