We are closer to nuclear war today than we have been since the Cuban crisis.

There's the obvious danger, and there's also accidental danger. When nuclear nations are on the edge already, accidents are more likely.

Next false alarm the person who could save the world might not refuse orders.

I worry the more we roll the dice the more likely we'll get snake eyes.
