Chinese Nukes in Quebec: Peter Hitchens Breaks Down NATO-Russia Crisis in Way Americans Can 'Get' It
💬 “During the whole Cold War I never really believed we were in danger. The Cuban crisis, which slightly overshadowed preparations for my 11th birthday, persuaded me that everyone would have more sense.

They couldn’t come up with a believable reason for a war to start. But now it seems entirely plausible,” a British journalist and author Peter Hitchens said.
