      The only wars which can address the scale of the crisis is a war with Iran, Russia, and China - who have begun cooperating in joint military operations and represent a united front against the US military.

      The Trump administration has been agitating for war against these targets for his entire presidency. Tearing up the Iran Nuclear Deal, breaking Obama's red line on Russia, the Chinese trade war, etc.

      The imperialist bourgeoisie which back Biden had a longer term strategy which had the support of the US military. They wanted to slowly internationally isolate China through economic actions such as TPP, while protecting their relationship with European allies through compromising their aggression against Russia & Iran.

      The US military has stated time and time again that they cannot fight a war against the united front of Iran, China, and Russia right now. Trump represented a more volatile section of the bourgeoisie which only ever saw victory in such a war. In that way, he is more fascistic than the other imperialists. Hitler & Mussolini also assumed that only victory could await them.

      But this is the contradiction that has been brewing within the US bourgeoise for awhile. A war within the US, with these two factions of bourgeoisie vying for supremacy, seems more likely than the bourgeoisie going entering a war against Iran, Russia, and China because a faction of the US bourgeoisie recognize that it is suicide for their class.
