    It would be terrible for the West

    We would have to permanently ship around the cape of Africa and abandon oil based economies

    It also brings about a large issue for future wars due to strategic positioning

    And allies won’t trust the US to defend them so you’re better off aligning with Russia or China

        Yes but when so much especially militarily relies on it, there is a big transition period where you/Europe/East Asia are vulnerable and hoping that Texas is enough

        I am pro nuclear but I realize the biggest problem with it is that it is a military target
