A new civil war that drives the US to fragment into several independent regions over the course of the next ~five years would kind of be the best scenario from a global perspective.
is nutty.
- Phelinofist 9mo agoIt is, but I get the sentiment of these comments. If the US infighting they will leave us alone.
- surgical_fire 9mo agoWhat is "nutty" about it? For countries outside the US, it would actually not be a bad scenario. Better than having your supreme leader threatening invasion, annexation, promoting coups and so on.

- justin66 9mo agoWe’ve apparently abandoned the meaning of the word “best,” for staters. > For countries outside the US, it would actually not be a bad scenario. I really don’t think I can help you, but the two obvious crazy ideas encompassed here are that civil wars never turn into wider regional conflicts and that losing a major trading partner never tanked an economy. Or that the ideological conflict here won’t possibly spread anywhere else (did you not even notice Vance and Musk’s support of afd ?) Good luck with all that.
- surgical_fire 9mo ago> losing a major trading partner never tanked an economy The major trading partner that has been placing heavy tariffs on everyone but Russia? I just want to confirm we are talking about the same one. > did you not even notice Vance and Musk’s support of afd ? This is exactly the sort of problem we are talking about.
- eli_gottlieb 9mo agoI don't think it's all that nutty, considering that large regional blocs in the United States basically voted against all this and have less than zero desire to be dragged along for the ride, having our lives ruined for someone else's insanity.
