"If it should one day happen, every one of you should know where the nearest bomb shelter is. It’s best to find out now," according to one particularly fevered report on the Russian state-owned channel, NTV.

You don't know Russians very well I am guessing.

They don't think like that. They have prophecies about things and they are very vested in a geopolitical asian future, have been for years, that includes our destruction.

Some of the church, and I am a member, believe in similar ways to islam about things like wars.

Solzhenitzyn wrote about these things.

I can guarantee the last thing we will want to hear about is Trump's potty mouth after the silos open.

My God. Is an adult paying attention?
