MonkeyTrots > Hypersonic missiles. A cold war 2.0 IS a major indicator that a WWW-III scenario is not only possible, but is also closer.
All true.
But, I can't help but notice that Cold War 1.0 did NOT end in a nuclear conflagration. And I'm still pretty sure neither China nor Russia really want a nuclear war.
As I see it. Given Russia and China's corrupt governments . . . Russia's inability to finance a lot of new 'military war toys' . . . I suspect that 'best case scenario' for Russia and China in a nuclear exchange is an end to civilization as we know it on this planet. 'Worst case scenario' for Russia and China would be for American and our allies anti-missile defenses prove to be up to the challenge, they score no hits, and our nuclear response destroys every Chinese and Russian major city.
Maybe I'm being optimistic. But if the alternative is to surrender Taiwan, UKraine, Phillippino fishing grounds, etc. etc. etc. to despotic dishonest lying deceitful regimes . . . Bombs Away.
