This comment is for anyone who is experiencing nuclear-phobia, kinda like I do, to which I strictly mean living with a state of fear or dread about a nuclear apocalypse, this development does puts the world one step closer. It's okay to be scared by that, I know I am. It doesn't mean the world is one step away from a nuclear apocalypse. The world has been closer to the brink of nuclear war before and we're all still here. It's okay to breathe.

I don’t know where you get your nuclear vibes from, but we have hardly been closer, actually.

Six months ago: Doomsday Clock remains at a minute and a half to midnight in 2024—closest ever to apocalypse

And things have only worse since then. This week: Russian warships, nuclear submarine enter Havana Harbor under watch of U.S. destroyers
