without the US launching nukes

I was just talking about this today. China is leading towards a multi-polar world very effectively, but the US is the only nation to have used nukes in history. Really puts things in stark relief.

Plus the leadership in DC are senile psychopaths who have at best a loose grasp on world affairs. And that's just the Democrats. The GOP are increasingly all fascists completely divorced from reality. Real "Sick old man" hours, except unlike the Ottomans DC has enough nukes to flash-fry the planet if the wrong corpse-lich has a stroke at the right time.
