WW III?

How do you prepare for such a possibility as a possible nuclear war? Those of you old enough may remember being in school and having drills where you were marched out into the hallway and hunkered down against the wall. Or even crawling under your desk to hunker down. Like that would have helped...

Yeah, I know they are just posturing and blustering, but all it takes is one bad mistake, or the blustering to go too far, when tensions are running high and all the marbles could be taken away from everyone.

With the new hypersonic missiles at play, they travel so fast that the decision to launch a counteroffensive based on a possible launch from the "other side" would have to be made in scant minutes. "Use them NOW or lose them" comes into play and the pressure to make the RIGHT decision immediately would be immense. The wrong decision means GAME OVER. The time frame window from possible detection of launch to get all the info needed to the person in charge of ordering a defensive launch is WAY too narrow to be comfortable about. Which means OUR first sign that armageddon is upon us would be a sudden flash of light and you are wondering what that was, or are dead.

I guess the curse "may you live in interesting times" is upon us. But wasn't COVID enough of a curse? We HAVE to have potential nuclear war now too?
