I think we know the grim calculus from recent history. Those who 'won' the world wars profited. It's clear I think that the bets are still being made that the next war will be a nuclear 'decapitation' and the argument goes it will be won more cleanly. There is another way of course. A world based on structures and concepts of development and mutual help. Since China promotes this approach how much more difficult it is for the US to adopt it.

Trump has the nukes.

His polling is terrible.

His party will lose if the election were today.

He has time to reverse it, and only one clear way out…assume the worst is possible, not nonexistent chance, with a madman at the helm.

He though like us is mortal. Unlike us he is a puppet on a string. The string leads to what will happen. Simon Dixon seems to have the picture right.

He doesn’t care imo if he has to cheat to win the war he’s lost to force his polling out of the hole it’s in.

He may have a toilet bowl in a bunker in Marlo Largo that is private. Otherwise it's circling the bowl into the hole.
