Doubt any side is uncomfortable or desperate enough for war. The comfortable don’t fight. They do, however, demo their weight.
There’s at least one or two month blockade somewhere in our future where trade halts between the super powers, where we all glimpse into the economic center of the earth that we know certainly exists. Economic morbid curiosity.
Then we’ll all sit back and go “woah what a world, economic death does exist, US is a big deal, so is China, so are all these other countries, let’s diplomatically settle this, we’ve had our exploratory mushroom trip in the desert, as all people need to, you know, find themselves”.
But no war, we’re all far too weird for that now at this point.
Wait, I just realized I rhymed. We did the same nonsense with the nukes during the Cold War. There’s something magical about human natures curiosity for “we just wanted to see what it would be like, but we would never …”.
- bombcar 4y agoSounds a lot like what was said before a world war; things can get ugly way faster than we're used to - and it may not even be a war directly involving the US or any particular country. Russia and Ukraine has already caused massive secondary effects throughout the world, and that's a "relatively" minor conflict.
