re: #32 The War TARDIS

I really loathe Russia.

I badly want some natural comeuppance on them. A few weeks ago, I made a comment about meteors.

Depending on your age you might not remember just how tense the cold war really got at times. People digging bomb shelters, drills for the outbreak of nuclear war in school, the Cuban missile crisis?

Many of us grew up almost convinced by our parents, the media, and all other available information (no internet then) that nuclear holocaust would happen “any time now.”

This thing in Ukraine? This is nothing but a tiny skirmish in the possible new cold war if Putin continues his expansionist aims. I’d compare it to when Russia supported Vietnam against us, or perhaps when they crushed the Prague spring movement would be more apt.

Not trying to sound cavalier, just trying to put things into perspective.
