This feels more like the Cuban Missile Crisis than Watergate.

6. I agree with you, up to a point.

I was a freshman in high school during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I followed it closely, and I had a father who was well informed. He did discuss it with us.

I was an older, voting Democrat and activist during Watergate. I followed that, too. And I read every book written, post-Watergate.

I did not fear that Nixon would start a nuclear war when he was cornered. Nixon was unhinged, but not a full-blown madman. Trump is crazy enough to start WWIII if he is cornered. It should be Watergate, but trump is unpredictable and capricious. Also, he is vicious.

I hope someone is doing something about the possibility of nuclear war, but I am not counting on it.
