I'm assuming that things are just a different flavour of fucked now, though, right?

I mean, I don't have an in depth analysis but this feels a bit like someone's set fire to the wasps nest that was in your shed - sure, the wasps nest isn't there any more, but now your shed is on fire and your garden is full of angry wasps.

If they could all just arrange to have bombs go off under each other's cars at the same time, that'd be just peachy.
