Canadians of a certain age will recall the "nuclear umbrella." Back in the Cold War days that "nuclear umbrella" was a real thing, or at least as real as an article of faith can be.
See, it was the age of the red menace, the communist threat. The commies hate freedom and democracy and everything America stands for, so they have amassed vast terror arsenals of nukes with which to threaten us, our freedoms, our democracy, our very way of life.
Which is why we Canadians were so grateful to live under Uncle Sam's "nuclear umbrella," that being the even more lethal stockpile of nukes than the bad guys had. Thank goodness for that!
You'd think that mindset would have gone away after '91. The Evil Empire is Vanquished!
We are finally free from the threat of commie nuke annihilation! No more need to cower under Uncle Sam's umbrella!
Well, hasn't quite gone that way, has it?
As I write this there are very highly educated people in places like DC and Langley gaming every possible nuclear war scenario. Spending on nukes has been going up since Obama. You've got top military commanders opining on the prospects of nuclear war with Russia or China or both.
There's a power elite in Washington that truly believes in their mission of global domination. They make the USA the most dangerous threat to world peace and prosperity.
