    I would argue that a direct war with Russia or China is actually less likely now after they failed against Iran. They’re arrogant but they’re not suicidal. They don’t want to go after someone strong, they want an easy victory against someone weak, which is why they are looking at Venezuela.

      Right now but desperation will set in soon and burning it all down to prevent others from “inheriting the world” will become a real possibility for the empire.
