50 years is a pretty huge timeframe. I'd say probably 10 years, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a major world catastrophe (economically or otherwise) within the next 5 years. And if the U.S. were to launch a nuke, it'd mean very bad news for the rest of the world outside of the place which we were to have nuked.
