My finger is on the button

The time has come to

Oh, sorry... I read "galvanize"

This doesn't fix anything. It kinda localizes the problem to within the former borders, sorta, maybe, at least temporarily. But balkanizing a nuclear empire just leads to a bunch of smaller, ever more deranged nuclear states, with all the same problems, but now an enormous amount of internal conflict and bloodshed, without stopping much of the external conflict and bloodshed. It's not like Yugoslavian breakdown went well or anything, and this would be more of that but on the scale of the USSR or China. If we're gonna get out of this, we need to do it at least sorta together.
