Your thoughts\u2026Marjorie, John, Sam, Dan, Owen?  I am only sending this copy
to the five of you\u2026need your opinion.  I do not want to spread terror
which is what is happening on the other side of the world right now.
Maybe best to drop the story.

EPISODE 534     NO PLACE FOR REASON AS ONE MAN JEOPARDIZES THE WHOLE WORLD

                  George C\/ Scott goes mad in Dr. Strangelove and takes joy in triggering a nuclear war.  Here he simulates a B52 Norad nuclear bomber.  We are on the verge.<\/div>\n

Most often when I see Vladimir Putin on Television he seems impassive\u2026no sign
of emotion.  No smile\u2026no frown\u2026just like an inanimate Russian folderol doll.

But tis week his mask was dropped.  He threatened any nation that interfered with
his invasion of Ukraine with devastation \u201clike you have never seen before\u2019.  A chill
went up my spine.  Was Putin talking about nuclear retaliation? Was he prepared
to launch World War Three?  Was he insane? His face was contorted in anger\u2026in hatred
\u2026and he vented with lips curled like a madman in an asylum.  Insane.

That word.  Insane.   That word has resurrected my greatest fear. A war with nuclear weapons.
An unwinnable war that will bring about a dark age like no other.   This possibility…
The chance that a  madman would get access to the nuclear codes.  That was
the possibility made into a film called Dr. Strangelove where an American officer
went nuts and sent flights of B52 Norad nuclear bombers on a direct attack on
the Soviet Union.  The presence of Peter Sellars, a comedian, in the war rooms
made for very dark humour.  Just a movie!  Just fantasy!  To me it was real and
scared me deeply.  Could never happen!  Lots of checks and balances. Really?

Yet here we are on Feb. 25, 2022, where a madman holds the firing button of
such a war.  

The United Nations has made a feeble attempt to stop the lunacy but they could
not get past the Russian Veto in the Security Council.  Sane heads do not
seem able to prevail.  Some Security Council.!  Some Security!

Here we are.  Leaderless.  Surrounded by leaders who cannot lead.
Not their fault really.  How can any leader do anything to suppress the madness
of this one man\u2026one very angry man who has access to that button\u2026one man who has descended into hell
and wants to take us all with him.

Even the Pope cannot help us. God,  He tried,  He met with the Russian ambassador,
Nothing resulted.  God,  if there is a god, we need divine intervention.
