… They suggest to the United States government that a war against China is winnable, the madness of which is beyond belief.
it’s the defacto stance of the leaders of the american empire: i visited the museum dedicated to the nuclear program from the 1970’s named saturn and the docent remarked on the general’s opinion to the effect that: if only 5 americans survive nuclear war and 4 russians surivived it; then the americans have won and it was worth it.
i heard the same sentiment shared by congresspeople during trump’s first term when it came to china and it’s a clear sign of the american empire’s disposition on such a war; they’d rather destroy the world than let anyone else have control over it.
i think it stems from popular american exceptionalism that says china and russia are the closest things to despotic, dystopian hellholes that exist in the present day; leading to the belief that death is preferable to life under such conditions.
generations long propaganda this effective effects everyone, ruling class or not.

The fact that people running the empire are completely unhinged is really disturbing to think about.
