    No you don’t.

    If the government of the USA falls apart there is still a giant military infrastructure in place.

    If you think that they’ll just shut down all those aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines you are terribly mistaken.

      People seem to keep missing that. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war is falling apart. You aren’t safe if you’re in another country. You aren’t safe if you’re on this planet.

        Exactly. Politics is messy and there aren’t ever going to be perfect options.

        Figuring out the least terrible choice is how we progress.
