World wide conditions are much the same today as they were in Europe prior to WWII. All it will take is a little spark to re-ignite the conflagration that actually began with WWI and never put out. In general mankind is too proud to admit error and too stupid to learn from its mistakes. Putins reminder about Russia’s nuclear capability should not be dismissed. If, God help us, that cat is let out of the bag WWII will look like a church picnic.

Too bad the Polish aren't members of the nuclear club. I know that the Ukrainians wish they were. And the Germans and Japanese better start thinking about joining.
