That just demonstrates that that's what the Sociopathic Oligarchs have planned. We will either surrender to their demands, or they will take it all the way to a Civil War. They don't mind burning it all down, because they know they have safe places to ride it out, and enough resources to survive their apocalypse. Then they can rebuild a new world in their own image.

They want us to surrender in advance, but it's not necessary. They're kind of looking forward to killing 2/3 of the global population.
