So much is relevant in your article and I can hear the echoes of 'I told you so' bounce off the few remaining mountains that protrude above the radioactive grey cloud that consumes all of the nether regions of what was once habitable Earth. Putin and NATO entered into a hot, hubris-contested limited 'war'. One slipped in an attempt to save face, released a nuke, back came two, out went four. A domino effect rippled across the globe taking out nuclear power stations creating weather storms that plunged the earth into a nuclear winter. Gathered in the few caves above the radioactive cloud a small group of survivors, with no common language, attempt to establish a society that cares for each other because of an article penned by a Wildfire. A new humanity will struggle again to get it right.

Well written Ms. Wildfire may your sentiments live beyond the myopic hordes who focus on their greed through their ephemeral time on the planet. K
