TBF I'm pretty sure this is the destruction of Japan too, and most likely the entire planet. Yoru is willing to throw around nuclear weapons like it's nothing, and sacrifice millions of people to do so. If she escalates any further she'll cause at least a nuclear winter.
But isn't War literally what founded and kept the US going and what gave it its most prosperous period? Technically it's more peaceful nowadays than at the height of its dominance if you're trying to say the US is collapsing, not defending war, just saying it's functional
The war economy is such middle school economics trite. The post WW2, boom was helped by it, yes but the most prosperous and economically equitable time in US history wasn't "thanks" to the wars but to fair taxes on corporations and the wealthy, along with the SEC doing their damn job to keep companies from forming monopolistic and anti-competative practices. Wars are an economic sinkhole, not the prosperous job makers that some media would make you believe.
