@Infamousblt@hexbear.net

i don't doubt that there's much that can be done against china's ascendancy on the world's stage; what i doubt is the epstein's oligarchy's ability to act rationally about it.

trump has exhibited several times that he drinks the kool-aid intended to fool the western working class into docility and it's only a matter of time until a competent president and administration that also drinks the kool-aid comes into power.

couple that w isreal's willingness to gamble away their source of power -- the petrodollar -- and willingly become a global pariah through genocide, ethnic cleansing and the samson option; fills me with a sense that they would rather destroy the world than let someone else control it.

and a kool-aid drinking administration will regretfully push the nuclear button out of some deranged "common sense" alignment with this kind of brainworm.

It's always possible the empire will do the unthinkable and start a nuclear holocaust. It is like a cornered rabid dog right now.
