Here's what everyone should be worried about given this talk:

Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.

And now Israel's government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don't give a shit about anything.

I'm thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

Which is hilarious because for decades the party line has been to not allow the Iranians because they're not rational. They still aren't but neither is Israel.

He's a fucking nutjob, but if Putin and his boy in NK aren't pushing the button, I'd wager you don't need to spend all your energy on this facet of what's happening.

I sincerely wish you were right, but those two are specifically why I'm worried.

Not going to tell you how to feel. Just that with all the likely terrible shit in front of us, you can focus your existential dread somewhere more concrete like water wars, trump 2, you know, something casual lol
