People always talk about a potential WW3 everytime there is even the slightest confrontation between powerful countries but it never happens. At this point I'm convinced there will never be a WW3.

    I think there’s at least two scenarios here: America goes somewhat gently into that good night; or America rages against the dying of the light in a desperate attempt to hold on.

      I guess a third scenario is that America manages to keep its empire going and climate change ends up being even worse than pessimistic estimates, leading to an inhospitable wasteland where there are only the remains of structures, half-eroded and coated into microplastics being slowly eaten by bacteria. And like, there's a dude with a really cool sword who can summon lightning and shit.
