Shouldn’t even joke about such stuff, right now. Putin’s on a knife’s edge, and could act even more irrationally.
My parents, the neighbors, relatives-as well as the politicians we saw on TV and read about were all joking about that stuff when I was a kid-late 50’s-60’s-Cold War, Cuban Crisis, absolute and real nuke threat-we lived in a rural area, and schools still did nuke drills-get under the desk, away from windows, etc-but if you can’t joke about everything, what is the point? You might as well clutch your pearls, run to the basement and wait for death in abject fear-no, thanks-I’d rather have a leader joking about it, unafraid-joking or not, Putin was obviously deterred by pres Trump-he only has contempt for that fool Biden. “Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas”...
