You think the decaying capitalist military empire with a nuclear first-strike policy who’s upper military ranks are all Christian fundamentalist psychos is less worrying?
America is on the downswing, hard, and China is pulling further and further ahead as it is. Who do you think has more to gain by doing something crazy to distrupt such an arrangement? America, like all empires before it, has never taken well to humiliation, and is already halfway through going fash. I don’t think you give enough credit to just how ugly we get when the illusion of fineness becomes impossiboe to maintain.
