All that being said, the movie is still terrifying.
Look at Biden’s War Room today. I’ll take the more level headed members of President Muffley’s in a heartbeat. Listen to the talking head brass like Jack Keane. Keane’s views are more certifiably insane regarding the Russians than Buck Turgidson’s were.
Yes it is, that was the genius of the movie, though full of satire it was also full of truth.
At this point I am more concerned about a Russian version of Ripper, but the inept leadership we have is serious.
Imagine cackles starring down putin and the mullahs while laughing hysterically.
