there would most definitely be some sort of Dr Strangelove-esque bomber command who'd at least try to nuke China

i think any war with china now will be a not-war war where "rebels" with private citizen "advisors" are in armed conflict with china, similar to the current war against russia. actual declared war would be bad for "stability"

Yeah, if a symbol of GlObAlIsM like the WTC whipped us into a frothing rage, an aircraft carrier would just straight up cause aneurysms in the majority of the population.

lol I don't think people realize that 'trinkets' isn't the half of it.

even though the US does manufacture some complex poo poo(with robots) almost everything basic or major components of everything basic is from China manufacturing

everybody loves their thucydides trap poo poo but it ain't happening, just posturing

How does regulars in doomsday econ thread not understand that the US doesn't have any operating nukes anymore? Lmao

Neoliberalism is stripping copper out of the walls everywhere, including our own nuclear weapons. Do you think that the government has been investing into maintaining anything?

nah an actual conflict with china would be contained inside the south china sea for the most part and after an initial round of barrages with some really horrifying civilian casualties the US fleet would be sunk and america would enter a total dark age. probably complete internal collapse, potentially a civil war. a nazi regime with nominal regional control would emerge.

maybe they would then nuke china but i doubt it.

drat thats remarkably naive

I think Trump authorized a bunch of money to "refurbish" the arsenal, but there's no guarantee that the contractor didn't just pocket the money

The world would be much safer if our nukes were expired junk.

Fed basically expecting the economy to be in recession the end of this year or early next year. Not really surprising.

These projections get revised literally every single FOMC meeting. They don't mean anything. Jerome will come out and say they are raising rates until inflation hits their target rate.

I hope they keep raising rates until inflation is under control (it will never be under control)
