Duck & cover

President Joe Biden warned recently of a possible Armageddon – not seen since The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 – because of Russia’s saber-rattling with using nuclear bombs in its war with Ukraine. A member of Ukraine’s Parliament, Kira Rudik, said she is very worried about numerous crazy threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin and his impact on the overall safety of our world. Yet, Biden’s head press secretary said that our country is not making any preparations for a nuclear war. Really?

I clearly remember 1962. If we were attacked with a Russian nuclear threat, every K-12 classroom in our country was told to hide under a desk – that was the ridiculous instruction to keep us safe. Sixty years later, a much, much better plan is needed. How about a meeting of the minds with world leaders?
