Direct wars between coalitions of the largest industrial powers can’t happen anymore. They all have nukes now, everyone would die before the actual war part started. And besides, these wars were a product of a multipolar political system, which we don’t currently have. We’re in a monopolar system that’s turning into a bipolar one. So the closer model would be Cold War 2.
Of course China’s foreign policy is very different from the Soviet Union’s, so I don’t think it’ll look like a series of wars between a US proxy and a Chinese proxy. If I had to guess, I’d say wars between US proxies and non-state organizations receiving material aid from nearby countries which in turn all happen to have strong economic ties with China.
As always, it doesn’t matter if a war is a “world war” to the people who live near it. Even a “small” war is a world-ending disaster for anyone near the front lines, regardless of this international political theory stuff.
Yeah. Just wondering the prospect of a ground war within the US and it’s terrible but watching the empire crumble and being held accountable while also experiencing what it does on the daily to so many innocents would be karmic in a way…
The only way a ground war in the US can happen is a civil war. Nobody wants to invade the US, nobody has the power to invade the US, and if somebody did, everyone would die in nuclear fire.
Also hoping for a war in the US is gross. The empire wouldn’t experience shit, it’s an abstract concept. The actual people who live there, and the people fighting, would suffer pointlessly. Hope that the empire dissolves with as few wars as possible.

Hoping in the same vein as
nothing more. I’ll be careful with how I say things.
