Remember when in the last few weeks during the transition to Biden that general went behind the President's back to reassure China of our intentions (regarding nuclear warfare), thereby commiting actual treason, and everybody (even Republicans) was all like "s'okay, you did the right thing, and maybe deserve a medal" (bc the alternative was so very much worse?). Yeah we are so fucked if we think we can survive that kind of brush with starting WWIII a second time.
