#1 This is a call for a new war. A hot war.

Don't we remember the lesson of the Cold War? "The only winning move is not to play."

#2 democracy vs autocracy

This neo-con's on drugs. Restore democracy in the US before you even think about launching another one of your globohomo civil rights crusades

#4 'democracy vs autocracy'? Does that mean there's going to be a Trump/Hildebeeste steel cage, ladder re-match?

In other timely questions, what if 'they' like their autocracy?

#5 "The only winning move is not to play."

You are confusing Global Nuclear War with the Cold War. They both have 'war' in their names, but they are different games with a completely different payoff matrix.

#6 The post cold world order has been over since at least Obumble. When the US pretty much stopped giving a fuck about enforcing international trade protection, globalization started to end.

Now with globalization completely collapsing, populations cratering and the just-in-time supply systems ending... well it is getting very interesting. Unfortunately, it looks like nearly a billion people will starve to death because of the collapse as there won't be a way to ship the food and/or fertilizer to them.

#7 The inherent friction of command versus demand economic systems is amplified by the infinite collection of transnational components that globalization has produced. Command economies always fail as complexities grow, and second, third and forth order consequences overwhelm the decision making center. Now add a political coalition called the Demokrat Party and its efforts to create the Obama 3.0 Imperial President, with a titular facade of a senile, corruptokrat Biden Crime family, and voila, paralysis and basic function failure. Every key supply node of that globalist web is competing for decision and coordination, and the committee behind Jojo is lost in minutia. This is a cascading collapse with tragic implications for world peace and civility between nations.

Command economies always fail as complexities grow

My car also tends to fail due to built-in complexities that didn't exist just 10 years ago.
