I think another horrifying aspect of this is that the fail sons and daughters now running the empire simply do not have respect for nuclear weapons and what they actually are.
Russia and Belarus just did that exercise practicing launching tactical nuclear missiles. That is a massive warning to the west and they barely reacted. Hell they're pushing even harder now to let Ukraine strike inside Russia.
They've become so accustomed to getting literally everything they want since history "ended". Combine all this with those crazy articles we were seeing last year about how nuclear war isnt that bad actually and it's clear that the US is on a nuclear death drive.
When I need to reset my sleep schedule I'll make myself as physically busy as possible for a day and hope that I'm exhausted enough to fall asleep.
