CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@acf @otfrom I can understand why, but Trump isn’t running the show really. Dude’s old, senile, and sick. But letting crazy racist old man Trump talk nonsense is a good distraction from the people who see a great opportunity to get even richer and secure generational power. Those people are also clearly insane, but at least have some sense of self preservation. No matter what Vault Tec in the Fallout show think, no one wins a nuclear war.

@otfrom @acf It would literally start a war between two countries with nuclear weapons and comparable levels of conventional military technology and training. Also, NATO article 5. It would start world war three and everyone would die. That kind of decision is above Trump’s pay grade. If nothing else, imagine there’s lower risk targets they would go after first, and it doesn’t really mesh with the sphere of influence doctrine that seems to be the thing now.

@acf UK has nukes and a real, if smaller, navy. Also, do we even have that much oil left? I thought we were importing more than we export these days?
