When President Biden starts talking about Armageddon, I think people should pay really careful attention. This isn’t just some political language.
The very real danger that Putin, faced with defeat in Ukraine, might go to nuclear weapons, even if they’re only tactical nuclear weapons, the degree to which they would cross a threshold that might lead the United States and NATO to respond, and the possibility that Putin would then escalate — these things are all real.
I recommend to people that they read Philip Wiley’s old novel, “Tomorrow,” written way back in 1954, when we were first coming to grips with nuclear weapons. It’s the story of two cities in the Midwest that are near each other, and what happens when a nuclear weapon goes off. It’s horrifying. And we should be really seriously worried. The potential of an event which could literally end civilization as we’ve known it is real.
We’ve been living with it now since 1945. We have been very, very lucky. We now have countries from North Korea to China, to India to Pakistan, potentially Iran, certainly in Great Britain and France, the United States and Russia, all with nuclear weapons. Other countries could get nuclear weapons very quickly. The Japanese could probably get a nuclear weapon within a year or less.
So once it becomes acceptable to use these horrifying weapons, the world will become more dangerous very rapidly. And I think we’re now faced with a problem at least as big as the Cuban Missile Crisis, and maybe bigger, because I think Putin may in fact be more unpredictable than Khrushchev was.
So pay attention. Understand this is about history, not politics, not daily entertainment, but the real deal, and it could change our lives forever.
