Reminds me of a song I haven’t thought of or heard in years, Randy Newman’s “Political Science” 1972: ♪♫ “They all hate us anyhow, so let’s drop the big one now.”♫ ♪
No, no… Vanya gets mad while playing the violin and her family tries to stop her from destroying everything. In desperation, they shoot her, and she screams, destroying the moon that crashes… Don’t you know ANYTHING? ;D
I get the feeling that there is a worldwide leadership crisis going on. Events are coming that they have not a clue about what to do. Their ‘play’ books are all filled with obsolete re-runs.

Nuclear war remains just a maybe. Global roasting, however, is a dead, in the most literal sense, certainty.

When you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner or
Later those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to mention other adjec-
Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do
But don’t you worry
No more ashes, no more sackcloth
And an armband made of black cloth
Will some day never more adorn a sleeve
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors too
There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve
And we will all go together when we go
What a comforting fact that is to know
Universal bereavement
An inspiring achievement
Yes we all will go together when we go

Oh great. Here we go with the old nuclear war paranoia again.

No worries: we’ll survive (well, most of us) a nuclear war, it will just be a little “messy” (ever seethe movie “The Road”?).

No nuke used in war since August 9, 1945. 75 years is kinda good. May it continue…
