Everyone, calm down! Let's talk about more end times! We'll chat NORAD (which is not an acronym) and the Cold War - we'll tell you about some of the possibly hundreds of times that we almost went to war, again. Like when Stanislav Petrov made the decision not to alert people when he thought that maybe war was starting. What could possibly go wrong????
