Hmmmm

 

I used to work with a luxury resort on the Maldives and they said a huge % of their guests are from Russia.

 

Honestly... when I think of Nuclear Armageddon, I just get filled with this overwhelming sense of calm & peace. I don't know, something about the thought of world ending just allows me to let go of all the BS.
