Yeah. I’m thinking along these lines, too. People born without the threat of nuclear war hanging over their heads somehow have tamed it in their imagination: As bad as the apocalypse of climate change? How could it be? Bring it on. Do they think they’ll be fighting a war in Europe the way Afghanistan battles were fought? Again, the very phrase “war in Europe” gives me chills that I expect younger folk may not have. Thanks, btw, for bringing up that terrible book The End of History. So many ills in that Pandora’s box.
