Reminds me of a date long ago, when I could not afford to have a kid ...

I'd like to address the Russian Threat rhetoric.

This news inspired bit of the sky falling regarding "Russians make a nuclear threat versus Denmark" is a bit of hyperbole, to say the least.

Two reasons for that:

1. Of all the places to expend nukes, it's a low payoff target.
2. Article V.

As to the time lag between Denmark's threat assessment that led to "buy some F-35's" and now, that's a few years shy of 20 years, right?

Stuff changes over time.
