Revive the Red Scare

It doesn't take long for history to repeat itself these days.














The new OLD existential threat.  How much ducking under school desks did American children practice in the 50s and 60s?




But, no worries. God is on our side. He's taking on the Russians.
Earlier this month, an outbreak of anthrax in northern Russia caused the death of a 12-year-old boy and his grandmother and put 90 people in the hospital. These deadly spores – which had not been seen in the Arctic since 1941 – also spread to 2,300 caribou. Russian troops trained in biological warfare were dispatched to the Yamalo-Nenets region to evacuate hundreds of the indigenous, nomadic people and quarantine the disease.

[...]

Record-high temperatures melted Arctic permafrost and released deadly anthrax spores from a thawing carcass of a caribou that had been infected 75 years ago and had stayed frozen in limbo until now.

[...]

Climate change can exacerbate the spread of infectious disease by changing the behavior, lifespans and regions of diseases and their carriers.

Global warming you mean? It's actually God's plan to kill Russians on behalf of the USA.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
