re: #69 Nerdy Fish

I sincerely hope to live my life in such a way that the whole goddamn world isn’t cheering my death.

Were you the model of the character “Dr. Strangelove” in the Stanley Kubrick film in 1963 that had more quotable lines than any film in movie history?

No?

I think you are OK.

Kissinger was an asshole philosopher of nuclear policy like no one else.

When you embrace the term “Mutually Assured Destruction” as a reason to build as many nukes and delivery systems as you can, as opposed to saying. “Hey, maybe we should put some guardrails on these weapons so we can build more schools and feed our citizens,” you are on the wrong side of history.

We still are, and it’s Kissinger’s legacy.

Oh, and when I was an Air Force pilot, I sat Nuclear Alert at K. I. Sawyer AFB outside of Marquette MI. Was it a scary time? Hell’s yes.This was 1980 to 1983.
