Well. That was depressing.

Add a dash of climate change with a twist of wildfire and call it an apocalypse.

Articles like this are just prepper wanking oil.

The US is not duking it out with any of these countries. China is too busy making all the world's plastic shit, and Russia's only weapon is the ghost of Cold War past.

So, enough for a war with China.

US needs more ways to justify their obscene military spending in lieu of things that actually benefit American citizens

America is more than ready, considering how much we spend on the military. This article is a few years old, and definitely sensationalist, but is still an interesting read-

And on top of that, the US Army just started deploying robotic troop carriers, and is finishing up remote combat vehicles for the front lines so that first contact isn't with soldiers. Yes, we're going to have killer robots on the front line. And soon.

What is Russia going to do? All of their best military units are already dead both in terms of hardware and personnel.

The Russians have already gone up against Western hardware and lost so we've essentially had a preview of the war except no Western forces have been engaged in that war. So apparently Russia is going to attack an enemy who is at full fighting strength when they themselves are severely depleted and are actually at this very moment relying on drafting.

Lol, America spends enough to take on just about the whole world
