    Is there anything you can really do to prevent nuclear war? is there anything you can do to prepare for nuclear war? I don't think there is much that can be done. Maybe a state agency anonymously finds some manner to disable the Uncle Sam's ability to initiate an apocalypse enough times to make it functionally impossible. The possibility exists for it to not occur, so we can act as if it won't happen.

    If you are a Posadist that thinks that we can establish socialist relations after the nuclear apocalypse, I guess you can have fun living in a bunker praying for a disaster that may never come like a doomsday cult.

    The United States' inability to acknowlege reality will convince them to make tactical blunders in their own hubris.

      If nuclear power goes unhined enough to press button out of "apres mois, le deluge"? Absolutely nothing. First strike wont work because US have significant second strike ability. They have 450 land based ICBM's launch sites and 14 ICBM armed submarine, this is basically not possible to neutralise unilaterally by any means.

      The United States’ inability to acknowlege reality will convince them to make tactical blunders in their own hubris.

      They are already doing it, and as their position worsens, those blunders have increasing consequences, like the Ukraine War activating the spiral of dedollarisation. So that's positive since it will bury them eventually, i just fear the last blunder might be nuclear and it will bury us all.
