    Millions of inexperienced soldiers stuck on ships facing thousands of drones coming from all directions -
    I…don’t want to imagine the absolute, pure horror that would be.
    The fact that the two current superpowers are actually gearing up for war with each other makes my blood freeze.
    This would cause global suffering on par with World War 2. Except in World War 2, most battles were still fought primarily with glorified armored tractors, rifles, shovels and horse-drawn artillery.
    Oh, and now, there’s the added danger of a nuclear escalation that will literally bomb us all back into the stone age.

      All of this is a lot of flexing, there’s no reason for China to cause massive conflict with the US because both parties would lose in some major ways. Essentially it would just waste resources between the two nations and permanently kneecap both of their economies.

      Not to mention that I don’t think any nation is in a position to challenge the US anywhere in the near future. A minor conflict could break out, sure, but an actual war where the US takes the gloves off is not a good idea for anybody.
