A weakened US, will still be a country with nuclear arms and considerable strength in terms of traditional arms. At least in the short run, a weakened US, much like a wounded bear, may and probably will become more dangerous. I think that will be the case, whether not the people at the top are competent and incompetent. Keep in mind, that during the cold war, when the "best and the brightest" were in charge of things, we had a number of close calls, from the Cuban missile crisis, down to almost the very end. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
