Old Man Yells at Mushroom Cloud

Maybe Grandpa Joe Should Stop Rambling About Nuclear War

Okay, this one requires a couple of soundbites to set the stage. The first is from 10 years ago this month...

“Governor Romney… a few months ago, when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia. Not Al-Qaeda. You said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.”

How’s that one workin’ out, Barry?

...

“No one [deals unfairly or harshly] with a Biden.”

Okay? Get those two ideas squared firmly in your mind: 1) Russia is not a problem because the Democrats are in charge, and 2) Nobody would ever dare to mess with Biden.

And now, observe as the oldest president in American history squats astride the punchbowl and drops this big ol turd:

“We have not faced the prospect of armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis… [Putin’s] not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming… I’m trying to figure out, what is Putin’s off-ramp? Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself in a position that he does not not only lose face, but lose significant power within Russia?”

Remember when Trump’s big mouth was gonna get us into World War Three?

The 1960’s are asking for their foreign policy back, and the 1860’s their domestic policy. Never underestimate Brandon’s ability to fix things up.

Good idea 💡.

In college 1979-84, I was petrified of nuclear war.

40 some years later, I am not afraid. It sounds to me like Joe is stuck in the 80’s mind frame: nuclear war omg.

What’s different now, I am sober (sane) and almost complete trust in Our Lord.

In 1979 I lived in Wokingham, England. I was 30 miles West of London, 20 miles Southeast of USAF RAF joint strike command at Wycomb which is like our Cheynne Mountain, 13 miles from Heathrow Airport, 15 miles from the UK’s plutonium production complex, and 20 miles from Harwell where UK had its research facility for nuclear weapons. 1979 was the height of the cold war.

I had a plan for war. Two ice cubes in a Waterford Whiskey glass, fill it to the top with single malt Glen Morange and sit in the back yard. I was about to see the greatest fireworks show in history until I was vaporized. I doubt I would have time for a refill on my single malt.

Your meme about blaming Putin/Russia is rather ironic (yet apropos), considering the many FReepers here who do exactly that.
