If it doesn't scare the shit out of you that this narcissistic psychopath just casually mentions that he would like to drop nukes, then it should
We've been on the brink of nuclear annihilation multiple times but always escaped fate because there were calm cool smart heads that intervened. Those heads are gone, it's now all removed narcissists.
This asshole is just casually blabbing about burning down the entire world, and there ain't shit we can do to stop or even change this.
The two times we evaded nuclear hellfire were in the 60s and 80s. And in both those cases it was the Soviets who kept their cool and realized that it was a technical error that gave a false positive.
I don't think anyone in either government is cool enough to do that today.
Removed narcissists?
Mostly, those calm cool smart heads were decidedly not the politicians.
