You're welcome. Magnanimity is one of my wonderful traits. Happy to help you. I never expect religious zealots to change their minds, but hope springs eternal.

Competing ideas do battle at the interface of reality and consciousness. The bung ideas are washed from the human gene pool, replaced by those more attuned to reality. Everyone is wedded to their ideas but the more adept ditch their bung ideas before reality subsumes them.

My favorite current one is Germans foaming at the mouth ready to do Barbarossa 2 on Russia. Many of them are more circumspect but they have not yet got control. The Nazis are banning them from competing for political power. France wants to re-enact the 1812 Overture. The British want to re-enact The Charge of the Light Brigade which cost my great great grandfather his life, fortunately AFTER my great grandmother had been born.

I've never seen a nuclear war. If Germany attacks Kaliningrad, we'll probably see what a modern one looks like. Hopefully it will be just half a dozen demonstration explosions to cause a rethink. But it could go full scale deflection in minutes.

Being in the southern hemisphere I might even survive for weeks or months before civil war and famine get going. Preppers must be topping up their supplies.

I guess USA will be unscathed unless the Eurostan megalomaniacs go MAD.
