Prolongs their prosecutions and distracts public opinion as well as the attention thereof. Introducing a novel geopolitical climate would insulate them further in allowing them to hedge their grips on power to the new realities they introduce and define. In this case, nuclear war. Notably, this environment would allow for institutional and private wealth to make a fortune off of the volatility in global financial markets (which is already occurring) and further consolidate both wealth and power. There seems to be a 18-19 year cycle for this type of thing (Kuznets Cycle/Swing). IMHO If this scenario occurs it’ll be sometime between March 20th-28th or May 3rd-8th.

edit: goddamnit this timeline fucking sucks
