Out with the News
All the news media does is rile people up and make us angry. Everywhere I look in the news it's people blaming each other and hating on each other. I've changed my browser home page to Google.com. I'm tired of living in anger, fear and anxiety. It's no way to live. News only creates animosity. That's all it's designed to do. It's all clickbait to promote advertising.

The truth could be a pack of lies for all anybody knows. Trust nothing.
There might not even be any nuclear weapons existing at all. All those objects that look like weapons could well be duds for all you know. No one will ever know for sure if nukes are actually real until one goes off. Until then, relax and enjoy your garden.

All those old Soviet and Eastern Bloc parades of giant, phallic missiles and other weapons were just fakes.

Re: Out with the News
Even if the nukes are for real and fully loaded. That just makes the creators of these weapons really stupid, not smart.
The dinosaurs were pretty successful creatures dominating the earth for millions of years unchallenged and with no obvious predators, that was right up until an asteroid caused their mass extinction that led to an eventual human presence with the intent to voluntarily extinct themselves. I guess that’s kind of a dumb and not so intelligent or successful thing to do. But then another asteroid could hit, who knows. Shit happens, and death is the only prize.
