Unfortunately, I'm more worried about 'duck and cover' than 'head under pillow'.
The US has now publicly embraced a policy of 'preemptive war'. If our rivals and enemies followed suit, then things could get very ugly. For years we've held onto weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological) and convinced the world we could be trusted to do so by maintaining a defensive posture.
Now everything has changed, and maybe 1/3 of the US and almost noone in the world trusts the current the current administration in terms of honesty, competence, and restraint.
