Will the US Use Nukes Instead of Losing Hegemony?

I do think that there actually could be a future for this brand of humanity if there could be a negotiated step down of American hegemony. Although part of me thinks you're just delaying the inevitable there. And that's the thing like, will the US use nukes rather than lose hegemony. I would say at some point, it probably will happen. But that's not the end either. That's only likely the end of one form of subjectivity, one way to be a conscious being. There are many other ways there are infinite ways to be human and we need an understanding of what that is.
