Yeh, these kids today don't know from global danger. We had to walk 20 mile to the nearest bomb shelter and back, and it was uphill both ways.

People worry about Kim Dun Been Ill in N. Korea having a few nukes that might work on the day or might not. Back then it was psychopaths like Stalin, with thousands of nukes and a huge army. And of course that resulted in our side being filled with paranoid, trigger happy people who figured it was probably best to just kick off Armageddon while we still had more than they did. That provided even more buildup justification to the same folks on the other side, which then provided even more buildup justification to the same folks on our side, ad terminatum.

But, of course, being thoughtful and responsible trigger happy paranoid people, we decided to just fight proxy wars all over the place and kills millions of other people instead.
