Thanks for that YPM sketch. Incidentally, I think the “nuclear deterrant” story is total bogus from the get-go. But has worked great for decades as a framework to frighten people, or at least provide justifications and impose “global order”.

The trouble with drawing any sort of line is that when you're complicit and “aiding and abetting”, there's simply no motivation. And as long as the populace doesn't have a clue what's going on, their understanding being reduced to “evil Putin”, that's not even much of a problem.
