The USA's Clown in Chief is certainly about to turn more of the world against us, especially if the MAD-man's subordinate generals obey orders to use nukes, but I keep coming back to one thought:
Those we antagonize to war will certainly retaliate, but who among them would or can retaliate with nukes of their own? Aside from dirty-bomb terrorist attacks, I can't think of any.
If it comes to that, I can only hope they denazify the USA as the Allies did Germany & Italy.

It's bad, yes, but I think the fear is shaped differently.

Also, it's TACO Tuesday. Courtesy of Pakistan, not the USA's supposed king of making deals.
Also, the conspiracy nuts who swept Trump into power are finally starting to realize that might have been a mistake. They're calling loudly for him to be removed, but by the politicians with the least to gain & most to lose by removing him (25th Amendment), instead of by those the other way around (Articles I & II).

Even in claims of truces & peace, my country is dismantling its superpower status in the stupidest ways possible, at the stupidest speed possible. The deal agreed to by the supposed king of making deals lets the country of his hate du jour raise the Strait of Hormuz Toll from $0.00/ship to $2M/ship. Genius. Absolute stable genius. 🤦♀️
The Pax Americana is joining the Pax Britannica in the rubbish bin of history, & it deserves to.

Russia & China wouldn't. They benefit more from a USA rendered geopolitically insignificant without lifting a finger, than a USA made a wasteland at their expense.
The UK & France wouldn't, because they need to deter Russia.
India & Pakistan wouldn't. Either one doing so would leave it unable to resist the other.
Israel wouldn't because it has to maintain the fiction it doesn't have any.
That leaves only North Korea, who would seriously upset its ally China if it did.
