The logic of politics is not the same as the logic of market survival.
The North American system is subordinated to the logic of the market.
We know the logic of the market, which says that profits come first, then profits second, and profits third.
This was the logic of the decision to participate in the wars of empire and colonialism since the beginning, the booty with the rescue of the dispossessed in action, now we have the diplomacy to call the dispossessed human rights violators, the enemies of democracy, the magicids, the genocidal, Nazis, fascists, environmental polluters, sexists, homophobics, communists, transphobics and all types of social perplexity that can be used to recruit and mobilize social agitators who are not satisfied with the system to channel its nonconformity in a politically useful and productive way, anti-global warming, anti-violence to pets, anti-slaughter and consumption of animals, thus increasing the list of limitation of lifestyle choices and the gradual growing stagnation of individual freedom until it is tamed and totally curtail divergent thinking and action, gain total control of society by total submission to social behavior and individual, sexual, political, economic, gastronomic, scientific, moral, professional, religious and ideological behavior.

No matter the ideology, it never did, even during the second world war oil never stopped flowing from the Caucasian oil fields to the armored tanks of the Nazis, in the same way the oil from the Soviets taken by the capitalist companies never left the hands of British companies, which means that there is a limit to war, and it is not morality, nor religion, nor injustice, nor ideology.

The last barrier of war is profit, money, and in this Karl Marx was right, the discovery is not mine.

MAD Mutual Assured Destruction was the watchword repeated so many times that it became true, in fact the cold war never spilled over into nuclear war because of the risk of the arms race assuring the mutual destruction of both sides, but that was the reason and justification for the balance of terror that ensured our survival as a species?

Not.

What ensured the world's survival was not the nuclear threat that would have caused the psychic breach, but the simple fact that war on this scale disables goods by contaminating the world with radiation and not the death of billions of people, which doesn't matter. to the logic of the market.

The atomic bomb is dirty, it spoils the goods, and it doesn't matter to business, simple as that.

The cold war could have been won by the former USSR, just one bomb over New York and the financiers would have overthrown the governments and liquidated all the military, dismantling the US armed forces and forming a new commercial business with the Soviets.

This market logic makes US citizens vulnerable but not Russian citizens, because US mercantilist logic does not have its counterpart on the other side.

Hopefully the Dead Hand system or the famous Perimeter never reaches this verdict, it would be the end of the US that will never respond with a nuclear attack to a nuclear attack by Russia, on the contrary they would make a preemptive strike. And they would rush to immediately negotiate compensation for the damages, reconstituting the world order without the military on both sides, they are the ones that disrupt the market, ridding the US of the military industrial complex that, like drug addicts, cannot get rid of the suicidal addiction that it's the gun production addiction they got into, which seemed like a great idea, but was just a big, expensive, lethal addiction like cocaine, starts with delirium and ends with cardiac arrest.
