Be realistic.

If the USA goes down, it’s not going to be a soft landing.

The USSR was a smooth transition, and there was massive genocide in the wake of the fall. Ukraine gave up its weapons when the EU and USA promised them help.

Think places like North Dakota are going to peacefully surrender their nukes?
