The people cowering in fear of nuclear war are the same people who would rather lose American democracy in an orderly fashion than fight a civil war to preserve it.

If Putin isn’t suffering from some kind of certain death sickness right now, what is he going to do if he ever does? Does he just go completely rogue with the red buttons and end the world behind him?

The message I see is Putin is in charge and any mealy-mouthed SOBs out there better get it straight. I’m more familiar with film than theater so I see SPECTRE’s Number 1 about to push the button on Number 9.
