The West has been destroying itself lately, imagine if the Soviets could take advantage of it
In a dying America situation (like balkanization level) hopefully there will be some military officers or something who take it upon themselves to secure the WMDs with international assistance (UN etc) so that they don’t become a tool of final annihilation or lost floating around a balkanized country.
I think in the USSR final days the KGB ensured the security’s of the country’s WMD stockpile with the help of the CIA (yuck but goes to show that this thing needs cooperation). Later they awarded all the WMDs to Russia as the “successor state”. Hopefully others will recognize the seriousness of messing with nukes and some sort of neutral force can keep them off the table in the event of American collapse.
