It's very much the "you're locked in here with me" moment.
It's been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn't go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.
And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.
Personally, I don't relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I'd rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being "arch villain from a cartoon" for my taste.
I'd really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately "be the change you want to see in the world" just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.
