Well of course an Islamic nuke will cause Western cities to die. Changing everything. The rendezvous with scarcity, as Ed Driscoll likes to point out, is coming.
Not through “green dreams” of global poverty to “heal Gaia” but through Western cities dying from Jihadist nukes, a feckless Obama pushing for total surrender, and suspension of the Constitution, and a reaction against that. With generally, total War against the enemy which will be defined as all Islamic nations/peoples with nukes or the capacity to create them.
A WAR of all against all, generally, with Russia taking most of Eastern Europe and perhaps Germany and Austria because of general weakness, and other regional take-overs. Global trade to a standstill.
Global trade cannot function when shipping containers might kill a city, rather than bring cheap Chinese shoes. Thus, a “new Dark Ages” which will be much poorer, far less Global, and in fact nationalist and racialist and sectarian. These identity groupings providing safety and security the way feudal lords and castles did against marauding Vikings and Muslims in the Dark Ages. Victor Davis Hanson notes that freedom and prosperity generally are indicated by the absence of fortifications, like Castles or forts. In the Med, these are basically aspects of life from 1850 onwards.
Security from “nuclear car bombs” is gained by excluding anyone and everyone who might be Muslim. And not of a particular sect, nationality, and so on. In other words, “Balkan Rules” for dissolution of the Pax Americana. The way Yugoslavia fell apart after Tito’s iron rule. Though the Pax Americana was not brutal, it suppressed nationalism/religion and ethnic identity.
The issue will not be a “movement of rage” by a privileged few, the issue will be survival. Not being nuked by a jihadist successor to the Vikings, intent on pillaging and colonization. Even say, the Italians if pressed by the nuking of Rome could be forced to create nukes, ICBMS, and say kill most Tunisians, Egyptians, Algerians, Libyans, and Syrians. For the survival of Milan, or Turin, or Venice.
Nukes were not used after Hiroshima and Nagasaki “just because” of magic pixie dust or some logic inherent in them — but rather rational Mutual Assured Destruction. Nuclear proliferation plus deniable terrorist proxies plus disintegrating nation-states plus jihadism equals death of Western cities. Particularly since the predictable abject groveling and surrender will only encourage more nukings to gain further concessions.
Forcing the issue — Kill or Be Killed. Simple as that. Live, by doing whatever it takes, or die. Most Westerners will choose life. Of course, that makes the military, scientists, technicians, industrial manufacturing, far more important than the transnational, transgendered clowns that characterize the elites (not the least of which is Global Warming being replaced by nuclear winters). Which is why precisely that fate will befall the elite the way they self-immolated in WWI and in the appeasement of WWII.
