"On the Beach" is sci-fi from 1964 with the consequence of a nuke war and everyone dies. We have the joy of watching how they spend the ends of their lives. Ava Gardner was too cool to die but of course she would be. It was remarkably civilized overall with no particular breakdown in society except a crop of religious people who flew a banner: THERE'S STILL TIME.
After everyone was dead, the banner came into view and with that the movie faded to black.
Nothing changed other than more powerful weapons and also the endless sneaking of the idea, well, a tactical nuke war might be alright, you know. You do have a dance card for Jesus, right?
During this campaign they have spoken casually of 'glassing the Middle East' and that's a standard from people who quote "Apocalypse Now" a lot but probably have no idea how easy it is to make napalm themselves.
There's the endless dancing and the band went home years ago because it's such a simple song. There's no way to win a nuke war because by winning it you lose it. There's nothing any of the nuclear powers will hold back in defense of their homelands and that inevitably means nuclear. Any provocation which risks that is thus foolhardy and irresponsible, just as we have been seeing from Obama in his attempts to intimidate Moscow.
The premise is to stop Russian imperialism but America is the only country which engages in it and no place on Earth knows that better than the Middle East. Nowhere has observed more assiduously than Russia or China how America has behaved in the Middle East. Expectation of trust from them after that makes little sense.
The most recent officially announced setting of the Doomsday Clock—three minutes to midnight—was made in January 2015 due to "[un]checked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations, and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals" (WIKI: Doomsday Clock)

There needs to be a better name for you than 'y'all 5%-10% lot' so how about Kaninchen. Ya, y'all Kaninchen, you can see this stuff and are clear on the problem but then you see headlines about Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie and wonder if you're on the right planet. Tip: we're not and they're going to blow it up.
Therefore, it's incumbent on us to find transport to another planet (i.e. unlikely) or to talk them out of it (i.e. also unlikely).
However ...
Vorsicht vor dem Kaninchen!
Beware the Rabbits!
Note: it sounds just like it reads with kah-nin-chen. It sounds kind of kung fu ... but not.
