Wow.

Thank you for sharing that.

Many people say that Ronald Reagan brought the Cold War to an end.  Others
Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II.

Not to minimize the contributions of these great men, but what I noticed was
that after the Chernobyl accident I never heard a politician on either side
of the Iron Curtain speak of a winnable nuclear war.

Chernobyl was a warning shot, and somehow by some miracle we, as a species,
listened for once!  We owe a debt to those who died or became refugees, and
to the Ukrainians still living in its shadow.
