No Stupid Questions

The US should've become a socialist/communist country during the Great Depression (like in the althistory story "Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline"). Seriously!

Maduro and Trump are friends

Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.

Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.

Nobody can outright militarily like, pull off assasinating the entire executive branch, which is basically what you'd need at this point, to actually stop this... bare minimum.

But what you can do is hasten our ongoing societal collapse untill we actually get to something like a Syria civil war scenario.

And how do you do that?

Well, you take advantage of our dogshit cybersecurity we have around lots of government systems and critical infrastrucure, which has surely been made much more secure with the recent drive to install highly exploitable LLMs everywhere they will fit... oh and I'm sure the experts at DOGE didn't leave any gaping exposed holes in anything...

And so anyway, you just turn off as much electricty and power and communications (yes that means the internet) as you possibly can, in a way that will keep them down for as long as possible and make it as difficult as possible to repair.

At that point, probably a good portion of the US collapses into complete fucking chaos within a week.

That chaos probably necessitates a reconfiguration of our global and domestic military deployments, and it fucks up our military logistics by way of basically destroying the economy.

Have that kind of a scenario play out?

Well, a whole lot of other major militaries are going to have a bit more of a free hand to do as they please, as we would be in utter disarray.

You don't even need to nuke us, not even high altitude EMP us, that's overkill, not necessary.

You just need to conduct the most extensive and most unauthorized cybersec pentest in the history of the planet, and we'll be dealing with bug reports for the rest of the century.

It'll collapse under the weight of its own incompetent sooner or later.

For them miserable fucks to vote for the Democrat candidate.

For China to stop being a fucking asshole and start being a world leader instead. They would be handed the title so easily if they just did the bare minimum of a powerful, civilized country.

1. Recognize Taiwan as an independent country and start actually advancing a rules based world.
2. Stop flooding the world with cheap state-subsidized junk.

Those things are literally all they would need to do. We would drop USA like a sack of rotten potatoes.

Internal collapse and/or a foreign coalition. If the US goes after Greenland I'd hope the rest of NATO stuck to their treaty obligations and fought back.

You must be young lol

This is Trump's Sudetenland. Expect him to invade Canada.

Nuclear disarmament. Hasanabi Doctrine.

Arm the nations you want to be able to defend themselves, and disarm the ones you don't.

The US will fall as soon as its nukes are removed or destroyed. Hopefully peacefully.

While we all still talk in "countries" the real world leaders talk in "globes". Be true to your school, patriots. Eventually I hope you discover your school is one globe as well.
