If you mean to argue that the dominant class has so infected specifically US general society, and then the 'west' in general - that's something most can agree with

That this class or these societies is/are suicidal and we are on the eve of destruction, is another

There is a very long tradition of doomsdaying in western societies, the end of times has been continuously anounced

This is only matched by their indulgence in illusions of superiority and the sacredness of their beliefs

I put such extremisms as 'impending nuclear suicide' down to a mixture of these delusions

One of which is telling others that they do not can not understand our superior technologies - one aspect of this is applied against both RF and China - in spite of the fact that both RF and China have in many realms more advanced technologies

It is my understanding that you state that neither the RF nor the China gvmts is capable of understanding how desperate and threatening the US nuclear 'doctrine' and technology is

I would disagree - if anyone understands the US gvmt it is these

The sooner western illusions in general are mitigated or revealed as such by the general ongoing collapse and chaos now evident in the US, or denied by defeat in the Ukraine and by the RF, or by China, or both............the better
