A war with NATO would have the following immediate consequences:

Europe sells off trillions in treasury bonds, crashing the dollar and triggering hyperinflation (which will result in skyrocketing interest rates); the US economy collapses.

Apple, Tesla, Amazon, McDonald’s and all other US companies are banned from doing business in the EU. X and Facebook are banned.

Thousands of US troops stationed in Europe become instant POWs, or are sent home without billions of dollars of equipment. Many more die on the tundra in Greenland.

Corporate Donations to republicans evaporate.

Do you think Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos and the rest of the billionaires, bankers and oligarchs will sit quietly and go along with that plan?
