I hope this means we are closer to nuclear annihilation than ever before. Humans have ruined the earth, and themselves. There is no possibility for peace or peaceful coexistence - and really, there never was. The best solution that humans can hope for now is total extinction and eradication.

I've had more dreams of nuclear bombs falling lately. I can see how it will happen, suddenly without warning with a feeling of immense anger that we had and never have had any control over what happens to us. I see the structures and homes around us burning and swept away by immense winds of heat and people melted to the ground.

This is how it WILL end for us all, sooner or later. I for one don't particularly want to see us drag it out any longer than necessary.
