    The neoliberal sub spent all day yesterday arguing that the US could survive a nuclear exchange, merely bumping it from "superpower" to "great power" during reconstruction, whereas Russia and China would be 100% wiped from the face of the earth, a long-term victory in the eyes of liberal psychopaths.

    These are the kind of people driving policy at every level of American politics. They literally can't believe that America could lose a conflict, even if every major city on the continent is turned to glass.

    "Even if America is temporarily crippled, liberal democracy will live on, more easily than ever with Russia and China out of the picture."

    We do not have rational actors running the show in the US.
