After we've all perished, an only mildly irradiated Nancy Pelosi will no doubt thank us all for sacrificing ourselves for democracy. I'm getting teary-eyed at the thought.

Here in England, our jolly PM BoJo claims a cyberattack is sufficient cause to launch Trident nuclear missiles, while my own Tory MP, Peter Gibson, stated his full support for the upgrade and increase in number of our nuclear arsenal. When the four minute warning sounds, we can all go round to Gibson's house and ask him what he proposes to do about it.

Thank you, Caitlin, for focusing on the single most-important issue facing humanity. And the issue most-effectively scrubbed from mainstream consciousness over the last thirty years.

Compare our utter ignorance now, compared with the American consciousness just a few decades ago...

I don't always agree with Caitlin, but this is spot on. If 100 nukes go off, those who burn to death rapidly will be the lucky ones. The rest will die slowly of starvation and cold. https://twitter.com/Antirepublocrat/status/1385017074427351043

We'll meet again

Don't know where, don't know when

But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

Keep smiling through

Just like you always do

'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know

Tell them I won't be long

They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go

I was singin' this song
