A plant pundit comments on plants, the foibles and fun of academic life, and other things of interest.
Nuclear threat
TPP wants to explain to everyone younger that the world has been here before and it was a very bad thing. TPP was high school age at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, probably the low point of the cold war. An old friend wrote to wish me well should things go wrong and he hoped I'd remembered all of the duck and cover drills from grade school. One well-ingrained memory was helping the family of a good friend build a bomb shelter in their basement, and my Father explained that we were not going to do the same thing because one way or another, it wouldn't matter. Another old friend used to say things never change they just get more chronic. With two narcissistic leaders each acting like they want to blow something up with nuclear weapons, it's about as chronic as it can get. Morons! Neither can be trusted to not make the wrong decision. Neither cares about people, only their own reputation. Both want to look strong, so neither wants to back down. Neither has the intellect to find a diplomatic exit. So yes, this is very worrisome. In fact standing up to the POTUS probably enhances Kim's stature in NK. Hope GnOPe understands this is not a role made for a person like T-rump. Here's some satire from the earlier time frame thanks to the Pharyngula blog. Hope it helps keep your spirits up. Who ever thought this would become relevant again? So much progress, so much greatness!

I've enjoyed your observations, both botanical and political, for several years. Thank you. And, thank you today for the ear worm that now makes me smile. Laughter is always better than hysteria.
