Zero reason to believe this will stay localized to the US
But hey, at least the empire is finally dead.
But the king yet lives.
You really think that the world’s largest military is just going to vanish?
One nuclear submarine can devastate half a continent, and the US has 71 of those bad boys.
Be careful what you wish for.
The miltary would just be sold off to corpations. Mind as well cut out the middle man anyway.
I do wonder what the voter demographics of the army are though. How many of them blame chunderhead for turning on their allies, and how many of then will follow him to the ends of the earth.
Could be some civil war potential

Trump has treated the upper ranks with contempt. He fired the admiral in charge of the White House pandemic office because that officer was pals with Miley, another general Trump holds in contempt. He fired soem high ranking folks when he was re-inaugurated. Don’t expect to see the military saving him
Plenty of trump bumper stickers on military installations. Both civilians and active duty.
Vocal minority though vs a silent majority? (As I’m asking I’m already aware of how fucked we might be)
Casual hate spewing at the water cooler vocal. I think they’re the minority amongst the active duty though.
I hear that train wrecks are far more enjoyable when viewed from the outside…
The rest of the world is outside, but too close to the train.
Don’t worry, this train is loaded with forever chemicals, and Nazis. Even if you’re outside the blast zone, you’ll get to enjoy some of the leavings.
You can easily go and sail the high seas.
uhh how much does a boat cost
they call them “qbittorrent” nowadays and its free
The fall of the US is the perfect time to liberate a sailing vessel and put out to sea with a motley crew.
Just saying.
You can explore the universe without traveling the universe; JWST, DESI, LIGO, Hubble, etc telescopes, interferometers, and other detection and measurement devices are giving us a ton of data reshaping our understanding of the universe.
Too bad telescopes rely on government budgets and relative geopolitical stability X(
