mean, also another small thing just to bring up, I don't know if you saw this, and maybe I sort of overreacted to it, but when Putin invaded Ukraine, I saw a video that was popularly moving around online of like a fake Putin sort of dancing to house music with a giant cake and a big red button. And it was like a really popular video. People sort of like laughing about the prospect of nuclear war. And by the way, we saw that with Ukraine as well, where a number of people were saying, well, by the way, should we really be scared of Russian nuclear weapons? Maybe they don't even work, which I assure you they almost certainly do work. I think the former ambassador to Moscow, didn't the former ambassador to Moscow say something like that? There was somebody who had a previous important position within the government that was making statements like that. There were a lot of people making statements like that. It was rather terrifying. So one more comparison to draw here between Cold War I (44/57)
