I should explain my position in all this, about 70 miles to the
Southwest of here is a vital intercontinental hub, Shannon Airport,
vital to the US. the prevailing winds round here are from the southwest.
If someone was stupid to start a nuclear war, Russia would have, as an
opening pawns move, to take out Shannon.


A Barbera Tuchman wrote a book years ago about the origins of the First
World War, "The Proud Tower". It portrayed the idiotic steps of all
nations in the descent to war. Thats is only slightly over 100 years
ago.
