He could also destroy the US, which would be a dramatic improvement for the rest of the world.

In some ways, maybe. But I think a destruction of the US would also cause a lot of problems.

Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!

so then its fully okay for you if its the us thats to be broken then, thanks for admitting it. and after breaking the omlettes eater's own eggs for him to consume there's then a chance that no omlettes need to be made any more. a chance of improvement is always better than no chance for it.

Empires can not be improved, they can only collapse or be destroyed.

[–] smb@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

i meant improving society and strengthen its immune system against threats that would otherwise cause collapses. imperiums cause and collapse/vanish all the time, just try to count the already vanished ones in "known" history, i guess while you are still busy counting the known ones there will be even more "newly found" by archaelogists. while lots of them just vanished without trace, some vanished but just weren't found yet.
