A World on the Brink: Nuclear Risks in an Age of Disorder

On My Mind Today:

The following article from the “Observer Research Foundation”, perhaps too politely, points out a tangled web of confusing sauces that our nuclear-armed international leaders have created with their constant contradictory lies and false threats.

The reality of it all seems to appear that these nuclear-armed meatball nations and their leaders are looking more like a global-sized bowl of questionable different flavored, colored, and tangled mess of spaghetti with no obvious or visibly seen separations of the beginning or the end to any of them that can be seen with a naked eye or even under a magnifying glass. Or a microscope . . .

But there is one strand that is a bit more white and fatter than the others and seems to tangle more obviously and aggressively among the others as if it may ultimately be dominating both the odd-looking concoction’s flavor and color as though it demands more influence in the ultimate consumption of whatever it is that we are going to attempt to choke down. ~llaw

On 1 August, President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to move to “be positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev’s remarks a day earlier about the risk of nuclear war between nuclear-armed adversaries.

The move came shortly after Trump’s 31 July remark, where he mentioned, “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.” In India, the remark drew disbelief and amusement, given its position as one of the most vibrant economies in the world.

However, in Russia, it took a different turn. Playing on the word “dead”, Medvedev invoked“the fabled ‘Dead Hand’”, a reference to the semi-automatic Russian command system that will launch Russian missiles even if its leadership has been wiped in a nuclear strike.

This exchange comes amid growing tensions between Russia and the US as Trump continues to mount pressure on Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine.

It was in response to this that Trump ordered the move of two US nuclear-propelled submarines, observing “ just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump said in his Truth Social post on Friday. Aware of the escalatory potential of words with someone like Trump, Russia has since played down the move, saying that there had been no real escalation and that everyone needed to be “very cautious” with nuclear issues.

This exchange comes amid growing tensions between Russia and the US as Trump continues to mount pressure on Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Trump-Medvedev spat began when Trump reduced his deadline for Putin to agree to a peace settlement from 50 days to 12.

The relations between the two nuclear heavyweights remain fraught because of the collapse of the arms control regime created during the Cold War .Today, all major post-Cold War US-Russia arms control agreements are either dead or, as in the case of the New START, suspended.

Earlier this month, Russia announced that it would no longer be bound by the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, from which the US had formally withdrawn in February 2019. While the American action was aimed at countering Chinese missiles in the Indo-Pacific region, Russia’s belated exit was aimed at sending the message to Europe, which is the target of its short- and medium-range nuclear missile forces.

Despite its importance, the nuclear issue seems to have slipped from the forefront of global concern.. Yet, as recent crises remind us, this threat is ever-present, and the continuing global turbulence and disorder can act as a catalyst in triggering nuclear use.

From the onset of his invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that any interference by outside powers would lead to consequences “such as you have never seen before in your entire history.” This was interpreted as a nuclear threat.

In the ensuing years, according to a CSIS study, there have been over 200 instances of Russian leaders speaking of nuclear weapons in the context of the Ukraine war. From the Western side, there have been no direct threats, but several messages asserting the importance of deterrence.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that any interference by outside powers would lead to consequences “such as you have never seen before in your entire history.” This was interpreted as a nuclear threat.

The nuclear issue formed a key element in the recent Iran-Israel war, though neither side issued explicit threats. But Israel said its actions were aimed at eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile threat. So, their strikes were claimed to be preemptive even though there was no evidence that Iran had or was making nuclear weapons.

Then there was the India-Pakistan four-day war. Since both countries possess nuclear weapons, it has generated concern across the world. Adding to the problem was the fact that this was a war featuring missiles and aircraft, both of which are also used for nuclear delivery.

Even before the crisis escalated, Pakistan had hinted at a nuclear response. Following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) by India, a statement from the Pakistan Prime Minister’s office said that any attempt to stop or divert the waters would be considered as an act of war, and responded to with full force across the complete spectrum of national power.” This reference to “complete spectrum” clearly relates to nuclear weapons.

Speaking to the Pakistani TV channel Geo News on the 7^th, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khwaja Asif said, “If they impose all-out war on the region and if such dangers arise in which there is a stand-off, then at any time a nuclear war can break out.”

The US, which initially called for de-escalation, got more actively involved when concerns over the nuclear issue surfaced. Sometime on 9-10 May,an Indian strike hit Kirana Hills, a reported Pakistani nuclear weapons storage site near the Sarghoda air force base. According to the imagery analyst, the strike was a shallow one “with nothing of value in its immediate vicinity.” An Indian spokesman, too, denied any strike in their briefing on 11 May. But though the hit could have been accidental, it could also be seen as messaging. On May 10, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for a meeting of the National Command Authority, which oversees the use of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. Though the meeting was denied, the original announcement was seen by the US as an act of signalling.

In his claim that he brokered the ceasefire, President Trump insisted that he had averted a nuclear conflict. “It could have been a bad nuclear war. Millions of people could have been killed”, he said.

The US concern is legitimate. Both India and Pakistan have nuclear arsenals of about 200 warheads each, and India’s Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s Operation Bunyan al-Marsus involved missile and drone attacks. India used the conventionally armed Brahmos and Scalp EG missiles, and there are some grounds to believe that the Brahmos can also carry a nuclear warhead. In 2022, there was an incident when India accidentally fired a Brahmos missile without a warhead that had landed 124 km deep inside Pakistan. It had taken India 48 hours to admit the misfire.

Both in 2019 and 2025, India and Pakistan have taken measures to control escalation. However, in a warlike situation, this may not always be possible.

Operation Sindoor markedly altered the Indian counter-terror doctrine in two ways. First, rather than shallow commando raids that were conducted after the Uri attack of 2016, India has, since 2019, used primarily air power to deliver retribution. Second, his was laid out by no less than the Prime Minister himself who said , in his May 12 address to the nation that “India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail. India will strike precisely and decisively at the terrorist hideouts developing under the cover of nuclear blackmail.” In other words, the nuclear factor will not restrain India from counter-terror actions using air power.

Both in 2019 and 2025, India and Pakistan have taken measures to control escalation. However, in a warlike situation, this may not always be possible. An inadvertent strike at a sensitive target, be it a nuclear storage site or a civilian facility, could lead to an escalatory cycle.

In recent remarks in a lecture series published by the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS), the Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Anil Chauhan hailed the “psychological impact” of India’s long-range precision strikes in Operation Sindoor. What we need to look out for are the consequences of this impact, such as strikes that could inadvertently hit nuclear weapons storage sites, triggering a Pakistani reaction. India needs to work out ways to ensure that this does not encourage Pakistan to use nuclear weapons. India and Pakistan have an agreement from 2005 that requires the two countries to give advance notification of three days of flight tests of land or sea-launched missiles. By and large, the two sides observe this by issuing NOTAMs of tests, but this does not cover warlike situations.

A nuclear conflict in this day and age could be the deadliest of all in the history of mankind. Picture: Getty

A terrifying simulation has revealed the extent of devastation the world would suffer in the event of a nuclear war between two nations.

The simulation comes as a warning at a time when the world stands closer to a nuclear war than ever before since the Cold War – and it could destroy the atmosphere and cause widespread famine, The Sun reported.

With the advancement of technology and modern weaponry, a nuclear conflict in this day and age could be the deadliest of all in the history of mankind.

We could see unparalleled levels of suffering, the displacement of millions, severe food insecurity, and disruption to essential services.

It is predicted that in the event of a nuclear war between the US and Russia, an estimated 99 per cent of the population in both countries, as well as Europe and China, would die.

Other attacks across the globe could result in catastrophic events – upending the structure of society completely.

A new study by Pennsylvania State University simulated the effects a nuclear winter would have, and found a large-scale global nuclear war could inject 150 million tonnes of ash into the atmosphere.

This could act as a catalyst to damage the protective layer of the atmosphere – the Ozone – as well as block sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface.

And this could in turn affect global food production and push millions of people into starvation.

The simulation found that a nuclear war in such an event would last for almost a decade – causing widespread famine for those who survive the devastating bombings.

The UV-B would peak between six and eight years after a nuclear war, and the global temperatures would sharply drop, stopping almost all agricultural activities.

The simulation found that a nuclear war would last for almost a decade causing widespread famine. Picture: Getty

Scientists used corn – one of the most widely grown grains in the world – as their test subject and found that a wider nuclear war could lead to an 80 per cent drop in annual corn yields.

“We simulated corn production in 38,572 locations under the six nuclear war scenarios of increasing severity – with soot injections ranging from 4.5 million to 150 million tonnes,” plant scientist and meteorologist at Penn State, Yuning Shi, said.

“The blast and fireball of atomic explosions produce nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere.

“The presence of both nitrogen oxides and heating from absorptive soot could rapidly destroy ozone, increasing UV-B radiation levels at the Earth’s surface.

“This would damage plant tissue and further limit global food production.”

This comparison global map illustration shows one potential scenario outcome and how corn crops would be negatively affected. Picture: Penn State

The simulations suggest that it could take between 7 and 12 years for global corn production to recover from nuclear winter.

It is understood that most countries have contingency plans to prepare for the worst.

Robust food circulation and modern logistics systems are at the top of the list to ensure essential items can reach people whenever there is a need.

It all comes at a time when the world is increasingly witnessing more conflicts.

Just a few months ago, India launched military strikes targeting what it claimed was terror infrastructure in Pakistan.

Islamabad retaliated by launching its own wave of strikes against its arch-enemy New Delhi.

While a ceasefire was soon agreed upon between both countries, an all-out conflict could have resulted in a nuclear war, experts feared.

India as well as Pakistan are equipped with enough nuclear warheads to cause utter devastation in the region.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also pushed the world into a dangerous place.

The research found that a large-scale global nuclear war could inject 165 million tons of ash into the atmosphere. Picture: Getty

Moscow has been preparing its citizens for a nuclear war with the West in the near future.

Several media outlets in Moscow – part of President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda machine – have been actively publishing articles discussing a nuclear armageddon between Russia and the West.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said that the US is “totally prepared” for a nuclear war following a slew of threats against America from the Kremlin.

PG&E’s commercial nuclear power plant — the last one still operating in California.

On My Mind Today:

The following article from “Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists” concerning the desperate need for what is being referred to as “Defensive AI” — in order to protect humanity and all that humanity does was not in today’s roundup of “LLAW’s All Nuclear Daily Digest” today, but the implications of “why” and “what” it is an the reasoning behind the “need” for it, is very closely related to the workings of the “nuclear power” industry and the realistic proposal that AI as a tool to operate and control the functions of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities and operations and the myriad details of nuclear safety are a definite part of the entire nuclear industry.

Just one mistake by a human mind and hand can create a nuclear atrocity, so power companies — including PG&E’s “Diablo Canyon” power plant near San Luis Obispo at Avila Beach just minutes away — places the entire idea of AI as a “safe and sound” aide to the functional administration and supervision of an error-free nuclear powered electrical energy producer. But, so too, and possibly far more seriously dangerous, any unintentional AI programming error could fail to be noticed by a human operator who might consciously recognize, adjust, and avoid a nuclear meltdown or worse that an AI operating program would not recognize at all and allow the same operations error to continue on beyond any chance of correction.

I have written briefly about this possibility before, but now that we have professionally realized that AI is not fool-proof by any stretch and requires an opposing AI system to oversee the potential errant one puts all nuclear power facilities everywhere at risk and in jeopardy of a nuclear catastrophe . . . ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

Why is it that we, as a species of reasonably intelligent humans, don’t want to — for whatever reasons — unite against those among us who would oppress us and control our very lives not for our personal benefit, but for the benefit of those who look down on the non-elite classes of human defined separation.

I believe the answer is simple, and it has to do with a selfish disposition representing all kinds of controlling greed including mind and physical control, race or ethnicity and made-up classes of human worth or value. I touched on this yesterday, and response was practically nil — as if I had spoken or written something demeaning, wrong, or out of place, which I am sure every upper class self-appointed self-centered egoist, dignitary, and leader who read yesterday’s post was very much appreciatiative and comforted to see . . .

And if my personal thoughts to “expand” on the definition and meaning of the word “nuclear” seemed out of place, unimportant, or vague, I was trying to make the point that “nuclear” — the very word, definition(s), and connotations of it — is without doubt the most important word there is in this world today with its prospect of instant extinction hanging over our collective heads like a heavy thunder cloud, not knowing when the lightning will strike us all all at once, and that will be the end of virtually all of us including, unfortunately, most other innocent life on planet Earth.

There is presently nothing else on or near planet Earth, other than the unlikely arrival of an unknown asteroid, that compares to the threat of a nuclear caused “armageddon” — not pandemics such as diseases like cholera, bubonic plague, smallpox, and influenza or Covid — but far more likely the culprit would be a very human-caused nuclear war because there is no cure for it and it is controlled absolutely by those few leaders who control, not only us, but nuclear weapons of mass destruction, which also means they also indirectly control every nuclear power p[ant on Earth as well, and any nuclear bomb dropped on any nuclear power plant amounts to another that I often call a “two-fer”, but simply an in-situ stationary nuclear bomb, essentially doubling the fallout of radiation, fire and deathly instant steel-melting heat, as well as the powerful impact of nuclear force.

In today’s world a single 1-megaton thermonuclear bomb arriving by missile from half way around the world could, for instance, destroy the entire city of Washington D.C. and surrounds in a matter of minutes. And the delivery of that bomb could have been ordered up by just the authority of one individual human being who leads one of the nine nuclear armed countries.

When we consider all this, I believe we have to take stock of how our present world of humanity operates and make some drastic and immediate changes. That is why this anti-nuclear daily blog that I have quietly titled LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD TODAY, needs to make some changes also . . . ~llaw

End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Aug 08, 2025

An Open Pit Uranium Mine – Put it all back where it came from including today’s buildings, facilities, bombs and nuclear power plants — all things nuclear . . . If it has been reclaimed, reclaim it again. ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

This daily blog post is going to make a few additional but gradual changes over the next few weeks and months — and perhaps years — in order to move on beyond the cold-hearted definition of the word “nuclear” and what the word actually means in todays’ apathetic world(s). For example, we will take a serious look into the near future about how human and other life extinction could easily, and soon, become a reality.

The word “nuclear” and related words have gradually gone beyond their original definitions — Webster once defined uranium, which is now known as nuclear fuel, as “A worthless mineral found in the ground.” But the word and its derivatives today, of course, go far beyond that having gradually become a negative connotation or synonym for other words, such as “nuclear” that can serve to specify the connection to the core of atoms, the processes of energy release associated with them, the applications of that energy, and, in a broader sense, the central or essential elements of various things like a kind of family, or even as an individual part of something central, or as a figurative word like “gone nuclear”, which has two primary figurative meanings when applied to humans or situations:

(Definitions Courtesy of Google)

To become extremely angry, lose control, or behave in a furious and unrestrained manner:According to Merriam-Webster, this meaning is becoming more common.
- Example: “My boss went nuclear when he found out about the missed deadline.”
To take drastic or extreme measures against an opponent or in a situation: This implies an escalation to a severe or over-the-top approach.
- Example: “The company decided to go nuclear with their marketing strategy to dominate the market.”

What all of this demonstrates is that, though we use the definition of what “nuclear” is, but fail to learn, consider, understand, and take seriously the “realistic” nature and definition of the critical nature of the word — as in “nuclear warfare”, “nuclear bombs”, “nuclear energy”, “nuclear reactors” — and, as mentioned above, use it as perhaps a negative connotation of psychological anger or derangement to get a serious point across.

Since we know that much about the word, “nuclear”, and yet steer clear of facing its core definition, we ignore the fact that it has the power to control the very destiny of human and other life on Earth and instead rationally demand or force the world through the use of common sense insist that its “leaders” absolutely do away with “all things nuclear” rather than allow our own extinction to be controlled by a few men with big egos of “self aggrandizement” who believe, realistically so, that they control the very future of global human inhabitance.

I believe that in order to save most all life, including other species, on planet Earth, we have no choice but to unite against the tyranny of all dictatorial governments, including our own USA, that have control over human freedom and civil rights and demand that “ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” be dismantled and returned to the depths of barren earth where nuclear fuel (uranium) originally came from.

It is a huge internationally cooperatively required job, of course, but if there is “a will there is a way” to make it happen. But only “We the People” can make it happen. ~llaw

The 80th anniversaries of the first test and subsequent first uses of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have inspired an array of public displays of concern about the current, inordinately dangerous state of nuclear affairs. Those displays have ranged from the journalistic (I found the project that dominated the August issue of The Atlantic particularly well-done) to thought-leader gatherings like the Nobel Laureates Assembly for the Prevention of Nuclear War, recently concluded in at the University of Chicago, and on to governmental offerings such as a series of speeches late in July by Democratic members of the House of Representatives about the danger of nuclear war.

There is a two-part assertion underlying most of these efforts: Nuclear war is an ever-present threat that could extinguish human civilization in an afternoon; and too little public attention is focused on the threat, so leaders devote too little effort to reducing it.

These assertions are true but incomplete. The possibility of nuclear war—whether begun intentionally, accidentally, or by misapprehension—is not just a problem, or a mere dilemma, or a challenging conundrum, but something akin to Winston Churchill’s description of Russia as a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. It is hard even to imagine the practical way out of a situation in which the leader of any of nine nuclear weapons countries could instigate Armageddon, killing billions of people and leaving the planet an environmental hellhole. The nine-sided game called “Deterrence” (or, if you prefer, “Mutually Assured Destruction”) can have no winner, unless all nine members of the nuclear club agree never to play. And a practical way of throwing the game into the dust bin of history has eluded committed arms control and disarmament advocates for decades.

I have sat through many a meeting in which learned experts bemoaned a lack, today, of the kind of engaged mass public that encouraged US and Soviet leaders to address the nuclear weapons threat in the 1980s. In those meetings—and in countless think-tank panels and other policy symposia over the decades—well-meaning governmental officials and committed citizens have suggested that the public get the ‘80s nuclear fever again and force leaders to take actions that would reduce the risk of nuclear war. (Let me not exempt myself from membership in the suggestion-making industrial complex; every year for the past decade, I have helped the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board craft its Doomsday Clock statement, which invariably includes suggestions on what world leaders should and could do, if they were really concerned about a nuclear conflagration that would make Hiroshima and Nagasaki seem trivial.)

But 2025 is not the mid-1980s. Even if history sometimes throws a useful rhyme or two our way, it does not repeat itself exactly. From the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, the world had leaders—Gorbachev, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush—who responded to the currents of their times and took extraordinary measures to reduce the threat of nuclear war. Certainly, mass protests had their effect. But there were many forces at play during the years surrounding the dissolution of the Soviet Union that led to what seemed, then, an end to an idiotic Cold War. The change wasn’t just about demonstrators or public opinion. It required leaders who understood the times and took the chance before them to make extraordinary, positive history.

Atoms and Arroyos: The photographic legacy of Berlyn Brixner

Today, we have a different world situation, with leaders who differ markedly from those who tried to end the Cold War. And the nuclear situation is more perilous now than then. It is 89 seconds to midnight, with a clicking Doomsday Clock, a worldwide nuclear modernization craze in process, and Russian and US officials carelessly playing around with nuclear rhetoric and signaling-by-submarine.

So, on this 80th anniversary of the two atomic bombings that started this age of nuclear terror, I will not urge citizens into the streets or recount all that they and their leaders could do to reduce the nuclear threat. Instead, let me suggest one action that one man could take that would, I believe, dramatically reduce the likelihood of nuclear war—instantly.

Donald Trump could sign up to the two-person rule.

Over time, many concerned experts and government officials have suggested variations on what should be a self-evident truth: No one person should have the power—what is often called the “sole authority”—to end human civilization; any decision to use nuclear weapons should, as a matter of simple common sense, require the agreement of two or more people. It’s a general notion that, Stanford University expert Scott Sagan notes, has come to be known in common parlance as the two-person rule.

Right now, in the Senate, the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2025, introduced by Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and co-sponsored by six other senators,^[1] sits at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A companion measure ^[2] was introduced by Rep. Ted Lieu of California; it sits in the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committees. Also, the Nuclear First-Strike Security Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Scott Peters of California and co-sponsored by eight other House members,^[3] sits in the House Armed Services Committee.

These bills offer reasonable options for making sure a US president cannot, by himself, start a nuclear war, and they provide reasonable allowances for quick response in situations in which an adversary has launched a nuclear attack against the United States or its allies. But the sponsors and co-sponsors of these bills are all Democrats (with the exception of Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats). Only a fully blinkered optimist could expect those bills—or any others that seek to constrain President Trump, a Republican with a seemingly iron grip on congressional Republicans—to pass Congress, much less be signed into law.

But no sane person of either major American political party wants to see the world incinerated. Certainly, Donald Trump knows of the terrible danger of nuclear weapons; he has commented on that danger frequently over decades. In February he put it succinctly, saying that if nuclear weapons were ever used “that’s going to be probably oblivion.”

“Tremendous amounts of money are being spent on nuclear, and the destructive capability is something that we don’t even want to talk about …. So, we want to see if we can denuclearize, and I think that’s very possible,” he said.

End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Aug 06, 2025

Image from Robert Hawks’ excellent visionary article “Technical State of Civil War” . . .

a must read for all Americans who care about our future.

On My Mind Today:

Should we somehow avoid this excellent and well-considered and factually expressed end to the American Dream, I have personal doubts that it will ever come to all this because there is, in my own view of the future, one key mistake — or perhaps two — in the following entire well-expressed and written vision that deserves tons of credit, praise, and and lots of literary awards – but for maybe two critical mistakes:

1) The USA does not stand alone in today’s hostile world(s), and 2) he, author Robert Hawks) says forget the nukes, which in my world is a huge mistake . . . Therefore our country’s demise will likely never happen as he so brilliantly portrays our disgraceful destiny because the United States of America simply won’t last long enough. But I will add — that ultimately in the long run we may well be better off in the distant future if our nuclear “armageddon” somehow never happens.

I encourage you all to read and absorb all that Mr. Hawks has to say about the future of the United States of America . . . ~llaw

“Technical State of Civil War”

Let’s dispense with the pleasantries.

We are at war.

Not a shooting war.

Not yet.

But something worse in its own quiet, choking way—a technical state of civil war. The kind of war that makes cowards of rules and turns procedure into shrapnel.

And in Texas, Greg Abbott is lighting the fuse.

On August 4th, Governor Abbott announced—proudly, defiantly—that any Democratic legislator who fails to appear for a surprise session of the Texas state legislature by August 5th will see their seat declared vacant.

This, in a bald attempt to force a quorum for an unscheduled redistricting effort that would gerrymander at least five new Republican congressional seats into existence.

Five seats.

Bought not with votes, but with ink and knives.

Five seats to hold the U.S. House hostage after a 2026 election that, by all current indicators, will be a biblical catastrophe for the Republican Party.

This is not about state politics.

This is not about Texas.

This is about power.

This is about permanently tipping the balance of national representation using the architecture of a dying republic to rig the new one being born behind its back.

It is a dagger aimed at the heart of the Constitution itself—and it is being sheathed in plain sight.

Governor Gavin Newsom of California has responded in kind.

So have the governors of Illinois, Washington, New York.

They’ve declared their own intent to redraw maps, to counterbalance Abbott’s theft with a theft of their own.

And just like that, the pretense is gone.

The guardrails are being sawed off by both sides.

The game is rigged, the referees have joined the teams, and the field is splitting down the middle.

We are not drifting toward civil war.

We are being carried there—on gurneys, on motorcades, in armored trucks painted red, white, and blue and driven by men with no conscience and nothing left to lose.

Donald Trump—the increasingly frail, increasingly unhinged re-occupant of the Oval Office—has shattered the last illusions of presidential restraint.

His executive orders openly violate the Constitution.

He appoints judges who have lied under oath and dares the courts to stop him.

Senate Republicans, now functionally extinct as an institution of deliberation, confirm them without even pretending to vet.

Trump has begun personally selecting general officers in the U.S. military.

He is choosing his own warlords.

This is no longer political theatre.

This is war prep. This is banana republic shit.

And the punchline?

Half the country still thinks the Democrats are overreacting.

That we’re all just melting down because we lost a few court cases or that we’re mad we can’t get pronouns printed on our napkins.

No.

We’re reacting because we’re watching the United States be turned inside out by men who believe they should rule forever—or not at all.

Let’s be brutally clear.

This is not just about maps.

Not just about Abbott.

This is about a Republican Party that has now publicly declared—yes, publicly, and repeatedly—that if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028, they will refuse to certify the election.

Full stop.

That’s not politics. That’s war-by-other-means.

The plan is as clear as it is insane: gerrymander the House, win the majority through rigged maps, then throw the 2028 election to the chamber when no consensus can be reached.

Install a Republican president—possibly Trump, God help us—by congressional fiat, regardless of the Electoral College or the popular vote.

In other words: end elections.

Cement minority rule.

Burn the scaffolding of democracy and salt the earth where the ballots used to grow.

And here’s where we land.

If one side openly declares they will never accept a Democrat in power again—and backs that declaration with action—then the only rational, ethical, and self-defensive response is to make the same declaration in return.

That’s how we arrive at a technical state of civil war.

Not with cannon fire.

Not with a shot at Fort Sumter.

But with deadlines and district lines, and governors signing paperwork like generals drawing battle maps.

And yes, it leads—eventually, inevitably—to the real thing.

Because what happens when blue states stop sending taxes to a red federal government?

What happens when governors of California, New York, and Illinois say, flat out, “We no longer recognize the authority of a president elected by gerrymandered fiat”?

What happens when National Guard units are federalized and told to act against their own citizens?

We’ve already seen it.

Federal troops in Portland.

Federal agents in unmarked vans in Minneapolis.

And now, a sitting U.S. president selecting military leadership based not on strategy, but on loyalty.

This is what a soft coup looks like.

This is how republics become dictatorships—one signed order, one packed court, one nullified election at a time.

We are standing on the edge.

And I want to be clear: I’m not even opposed to the collapse in principle.

Because unlike the Abbott crowd, I’ve thought this through.

If the United States breaks apart—and God knows, we are dangling over that edge like Wile E. Coyote holding a stick of TNT—here is what happens next:

California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada—the spine of the West—will form a new nation.

They will be joined by Illinois, Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, and most of the northeastern corridor.

The population, economy, and military of this new Union will be vastly superior to anything the southern rump states can cobble together.

And yes, you can wave your little Wyoming flags, but the brutal math is this: once the U.S. Constitution is abandoned, so too is the notion that two Dakotas matter more than one California.

In the new post-America, power will come from population, productivity, and force projection.

Which means: the south is screwed.

The GOP’s strongholds—Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas—are welfare states, net takers, dependent on federal subsidies from blue states they now propose to dominate.

They are a red velvet cake of hypocrisy baked in a kitchen paid for by liberal taxpayers.

And when those subsidies stop?

When Social Security checks don’t arrive?

When FEMA aid dries up?

When food assistance vanishes?

These states will burn—not from outside invasion, but from within.

Poor white voters, duped into culture war hysteria, will finally realize that racism doesn’t pay the rent.

And when the AC breaks, when the grocery shelves are bare, when the insulin is gone—they will riot.

The next Fort Sumter won’t be fired upon by blue coats—it’ll be torched from the inside by red ones who realize too late they were cannon fodder for a billionaire death cult.

Meanwhile, the new blue nation—call it Pacifica, call it the North American Republic, call it literally anything else—will control the nukes.

Because those bases are in California.

Those silos are in Montana and the Dakotas.

Those subs are docked in blue harbors, crewed by people with graduate degrees and no patience for neo-Confederate cosplay.

There may be some holdouts—some nukes in Texas, maybe a stray missile in Florida—but the command structure will fracture.

And the moment loyalty is divided in a nuclear state, you no longer have a country.

You have a disaster waiting for a launch code.

And you can bet NATO and the EU are watching.

So is China. So is Russia.

The new blue state will ally with Europe overnight.

The new red state?

It will be isolated.

Economically neutered.

Morally bankrupt. Internationally shunned.

Try running a nation with no money, no allies, and a citizenry trained only in rage. Let’s see how that goes.

And yet—and yet—this is where we are headed.

Because for too long, one side has played by the rules while the other sharpens the knives.

We have tried to compromise with arsonists.

We have let the Constitution become a suicide pact.

No more.

Because now, if we do not fight, we die.

If we play fair, we lose.

If we tell ourselves it can’t happen here, we will wake up in the ash of what once was.

Greg Abbott is trying to fire on Fort Sumter with a fountain pen and a smirk.

If we don’t match him force for force—not violence for violence, but action for action, map for map, court for court, and yes, goddamnit, declaration for declaration—then the next fight won’t be about democracy.

It will be about which side gets the tanks.

And you know what?

I say let it come.

Because I promise you: the right has not thought this through.

They think blue states are weak.

That liberal means soft.

That cities can’t fight.

But I’ve seen New Yorkers when the train’s late.

I’ve seen Californians during wildfires.

I’ve seen drag queens in Texas standing alone against armed mobs and not blinking.

You want to go to war with those people?

Be my guest.

Just don’t be surprised when they’re still standing and you’re neck-deep in the mud, wondering why the federal aid convoy never came.

Let me say it again: this is a technical civil war.

The only question left is whether it becomes a real one.

Whether maps give way to bullets.

Whether executive orders become execution orders.

And if that day comes, the outcome is not assured.

But the blame will be.

It will rest on the heads of men like Trump, like Abbott, like the perjured judges and the cowardly Senators and the hollow-eyed billionaires who looked at democracy and said, “That’s too risky—let’s buy it instead.”

But history has long arms.

And the schoolchildren they’re so terrified of?

The ones they think will be traumatized by learning about slavery?

Those kids will write the textbooks.

And they will tell the truth.

They will say that the Republican Party, faced with the loss of cultural hegemony, chose to burn the country down rather than share it.

That the right feared democracy more than death.

That in the end, they didn’t win.

They ended.

Because power isn’t loyalty.

Power is legitimacy. Power is cooperation. Power is earned.

And no matter how many judges they install, how many maps they redraw, how many parades they throw for the flag—they cannot force a country to love them.

And the United States?

The United States is not one nation.

Not really.

Hasn’t been for a very long time.

Maybe never was.

We’ve called it “united” because no one had the balls to call it anything else.

But look closer.

Really look.

Not at the myth, not at the hymns or the fireworks or the golden parchment we put under museum glass and pretend still governs us.

Look at the actual nation.

The machine.

The bones under the makeup. You’ll see it’s already split.

We are a cold war in a hot climate, a long, drunken marriage where both spouses sleep in separate bedrooms, hoarding money and muttering fantasies of murder.

Half of this country prays for rain.

The other half curses God for not sending fire.

You think this is a phase?

A tantrum?

This is the logical end of manifest destiny and the Electoral College.

This is what you get when you marry thirteen slave states to thirteen merchant ones and pretend the vows were ever sincere.

You get a monstrosity: a country stitched together by compromise, half-built on genocide, half-built on commerce, full of contradictions so profound that the entire enterprise was always going to collapse in on itself like a house made of buried lies and termite wood.

And if you don’t believe me, ask the Cherokee.

Ask the Sioux.

Ask the Japanese Americans who had their homes stolen while they sat in desert cages.

Ask the Black soldiers who liberated Europe and came home to lynch mobs.

Ask the trans kids being hunted across state lines.

Ask the women whose bodies are now the property of governors.

Ask them if this was ever one country.

Ask a gay couple in Mississippi what flag they’re saluting when they’re denied medical rights.

Ask a Black teenager in Georgia if the Constitution applies when a cop pulls up behind him.

Ask a nurse in Arizona who makes $38,000 a year and can’t afford insulin because her governor thought tax cuts for landlords were a moral obligation.

Ask the dead. Ask the poor. Ask the workers.

Ask the veterans.

This was never one country.

It was two—or more—pretending not to notice each other, because the lies were easier than the war.

But the lie is collapsing.

There is no social contract anymore—only contractual obligation.

There is no shared dream—only curated delusions, sold like corn dogs at a carnival no one wants to admit is actually a funeral.

The national anthem plays, and we’re supposed to rise, even though the flag’s draped over a coffin and the smell of decay is coming up through the floorboards.

What do you call a government where one party believes in nothing but power, and the other believes in rules the first party has openly set on fire?

You don’t call it a democracy. You don’t even call it a republic.

You call it hospice.

And hospice is where the United States now lives—quietly rotting, humming show tunes while the nurse tightens the morphine drip and checks her watch for the next coup attempt.

Because the old country—the one your parents pledged allegiance to, the one your grandfather swore oaths for, the one we were all taught to memorize and mythologize—that country is already gone.

The states don’t trust the federal government.

The Supreme Court is functionally a papal tribunal in robes, overturning majority will with smirks and footnotes.

Congress is a roach motel for lobbyists and performative lunatics, many of whom are openly preparing for a post-America America where the flag stays the same, but the Constitution is a ghost story told around campfires by billionaires.

And don’t give me the “but the military” argument.

As if the military isn’t just as fractured.

The military is not a monolith.

It’s a lattice of class tension and cultural divergence, a cross-section of a nation coming apart at every seam.

You think the Joint Chiefs will all salute the same president if both sides claim victory in 2028?

You think a captain from Oregon will obey the same orders as a major from Alabama if they both think they’re saving the republic?

We are one disputed election away from seeing Marine units on opposite sides of the Potomac drawing weapons on each other.

And don’t think they won’t.

We’ve trained them to kill.

But we didn’t train them who to follow once the flag splits in two and each side says it’s the real one.

That’s the thing no one’s ready for: there won’t be two Americas.

There will be twenty.

Twenty splintered visions of what the United States “really” is, each one armed and praying for the clarity of righteous bloodshed.

California won’t ask permission to secede.

It’ll just stop obeying.

Texas already pretends it’s its own country—hell, they teach their kids the Alamo was a birthright, not a graveyard.

And Florida?

Florida is the Bosnian wildcard in the whole damn deck.

Armed, enraged, half-drowning in its own hubris and sea level, it will burn and smile as it does.

Once the structure collapses—once the federal government becomes two rival groups of governors and officers and deep-state functionaries playing constitutional Calvinball, it’s over.

The nukes don’t matter.

The treaties don’t matter.

What matters is who controls the ports, who keeps the power grid on, who can move food and fuel and bullets across state lines.

There will be checkpoints.

Roadblocks.

Supply chains redrawn by governors who no longer answer to the Pentagon, because the Pentagon will be two buildings by then—one in D.C., one in Omaha, or maybe Austin, and each one claiming legitimacy over the other.

The South will remember its mythologies and try to rise again.

The North will remember its debts and try to collect.

Cities will become fortresses.

Rural counties will become militias.

Suburbs will become no-man’s-land.

And as all this happens, the dollar will collapse.

Don’t kid yourself: the global economy does not give a fuck about “We the People.”

They care about stability.

Predictability.

Trade routes and energy flows and the enforcement of contracts.

The minute they sense real domestic instability—not the threat of it, but the confirmation of it—the dollar goes down like a narcoleptic in a blackout.

And when that happens, the war isn’t theoretical anymore.

It’s material.

Because we don’t make shit here.

We import. And when the imports stop, the riots start.

You think Americans know how to wait in line for food?

You think anyone in this country has the patience for “rolling blackouts” or “fuel rations” or “shared sacrifice”?

No.

They will shoot the cashier.

They will torch the supermarket.

They will drag their neighbor into the street because someone has to bleed for the fact that their Amazon package didn’t arrive and their WiFi is down and the President is in hiding.

You want a preview?

Look at January 6th. That was the rehearsal dinner.

Look at Kenosha. Look at Minneapolis. Look at Portland.

Now multiply it by fifty.

Add drone strikes.

Add rogue governors.

Add National Guard units defecting based on Facebook memes and AM talk radio.

Add sheriffs with God complexes and militia ties.

Add cyberattacks from Russia, China, and every 20-year-old in Estonia with a grudge and a laptop.

Add nuclear weapons whose command structure is suddenly ambiguous.

Add diseases, real and manufactured, released to sow chaos by regimes eager to carve up the carcass of the American empire before someone else claims it.

Add fear. Add drought. Add fire.

Add lies.

And stir.

This isn’t a Tom Clancy novel.

This isn’t a prepper fantasy.

This is what happens when a government built on consensus loses its ability to consent.

We’ve been trained to think of civil war in terms of Gettysburg and Antietam.

But the next one won’t look like that.

It’ll look like Syria.

Like Yugoslavia.

Like Ukraine.

Like Lebanon in 1975, where Christian militias and Muslim factions and foreign powers turned one of the most beautiful countries on Earth into a graveyard that smelled of smoke and gun oil and the end of things.

The next civil war will be digital and tribal and sudden.

It will be declared not by Lincoln but by TikTok and Fox News.

It will be fought not on battlefields, but on highways and Wi-Fi and gas lines and court dockets and supermarket aisles.

It will not be brother against brother.

It will be neighbor against neighbor, algorithm against algorithm, drone against protest, truth against power, and power against everyone.

And in the chaos, people will scream for order.

They will beg for order.

And some strongman will appear.

He won’t be Trump.

He’ll be younger.

Sharper.

Hungrier.

A Tom Cotton or a Josh Hawley or some asshole we haven’t even met yet, raised in the bowels of corporate-funded think tanks and groomed for the moment America breaks.

He’ll offer “unity.”

He’ll offer “peace.”

And he’ll take what remains of the Constitution and feed it into a shredder made of applause and fear.

He will come, and we will let him.

Because Americans are not special.

We are not immune to history.

We are not chosen.

We are not different.

We are Rome in the 5th century, decadent and divided, watching the aqueducts crumble while we chant slogans and sharpen knives.

We are the USSR in 1991, holding onto a flag while the ground splits beneath us.

We are whatever comes next, and we are not ready.

And when it comes—when the sirens replace the debates, when the tanks roll down Main Street not as a parade but as a warning—some of us will remember what we lost.

We’ll remember the dream. The idea.

We’ll remember that once, however flawed and hypocritical and blood-soaked it was, the idea of America meant something.

It meant the possibility of self-government. Of progress. Of dignity.

It meant something more than flags and guns and courts packed with perjurers.

It meant the attempt.

And now we stand at the edge of that attempt.

And we are failing.

The United States was beautiful.

At moments.

In dreams. In songs. In potential.

But it was never unbreakable.

And the people trying to bend it are forcing it to break.

I never thought I’d live to see it.

But now I worry we all will.

So tell me…

Am I lying?

–

No, of course he is not lying! ~llaw
