Big glassy crater

During my time at High School, I remember a picture from my GCSE History class on the Cold War. Basically it showed a picture of the world with a big crater where Europe was and a joint speech bubble arising from Moscow and Washington with the phrase 'Opps' in it.
I cant help but think that history is repeating itself. Maybe its time for the people who live in this possible future conflict zone to tell everyone to fuck off! Of course, this would mean that European nations would REALLY have to work together and grow a fucking backbone.....hmmm, don't hold you breath.

You're right of course, but it seems to me that it would help if my fellow Americans elect a president next year who has at least a partial grip on sanity, since Russians are unlikely to do so.
