 All eyes were on nuclear facilities in Ukraine this week.. all eyes in general are on the troubled nation as Russia's invasion continues.. But Cold War Kids especially seem to have their 99 LUFT BALLOONS memories suddenly coming back to haunt them.. those drills under desks, those moments during the 20th century when they thought nuclear annihilation was coming at any moment.. Those fears were palpable then for them, and now they are back again.. Like a bad haunted memory.. something they tried to dispose of but now, as nuclear fears build again, they realize they could not repress the anxiety forever.. this interesting article appears in the LA TIMES and ponders if "anyone is feeling this" fear suddenly, the fear of nuclear rage pent up for all these years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and communism in Europe.
