Thing is , us old gits , ( you know ,.... Steptoe , Specs, Kerch...all that lot :innocent ) grew up under the nuclear shadow and the Russians hanging on to half of Europe after the end of the war . Then with the likes of Gorbachev in Russia the ice started to melt , the "Iron Curtain" started to part ....Gorbachev said " We don't need Star Wars , we need Star Peace " .
But we still end up with enough weapons to destroy the Earth and Trump announces he want to escalate the deterrent .
The history of mankind , since the begining of our time on Earth was & still is a slaughterhouse . Apart from the powermad despots invading everyone , like us, we hate each other by colour , religion , race , political belief, country , neighbourhood, soccer team and Plasterers .
After the carnage of World War 1 they thought there would never be another war " The war to end all Wars" they called it . Well from our vantage point in time we know better, unfortunately .
When will they ever learn ?
