I think we are closer today to the point of using nuclear devices for war purposes than we’ve been at any time since August 1945. That’s a surprisingly long time - considering how much recklessness and stupidity we have in our human nature. The archaic parts of our brains make us shift into gear all together - and emotions and quasi-priorities overwhelm us - and it’s time to saddle up. No need to worry — all forward, and learn to love the bomb. To do it in 1963 was too early. Memories of previous wars were still too fresh. No one was yet in the mood to jump into another meat grinder. But - by now, we have our confidence back. We’re immune, unafraid and very clever. We’re good to go. Punish those we all know are evildoers. So, we’ll see what happens. Actually, it’s likely that NZ and Oz may be left alone. That would be nice - y’all may be able to re-populate Europe - and maybe help out with the New World. Would be good to have someone to tell the story. Maybe next time around humanity will be able to last longer than 75 years. After a few cycles, perhaps, they’ll recognize that it’s real.
