Ja.  This one appears to have a modicum of plausibility:

Draining Ukrainian funds?  Last I heard the USA was paying for those missiles.

Ja.  One might think we would be in some ways better off without nukes.  Oy vey.

 

BillK, it all causes me to occasionally let my mind wander into places where perhaps it is best to not go, and imagine, just for fun, just imagine… that all this… really is not a digital simulation.  What if… it isn’t all just a game?  It is some kind of… non-artificial… real reality?  The mind boggles.
