Paul Krugman: The GOP Is Its Own Doomsday Machine @alternet: Republicans have applied mutually assured destruction to basic governance. For the first time since the end of the Cold War, Americans live in fear of nuclear annihilation. While North and South Korea are engaging in diplomatic talks for the first time in years, the Pentagon is reportedly considering a limited bombing campaign, as Donald Trump continues to bait the supreme leader of a rogue nation. (Whether the U.S. now qualifies as a rogue nation itself is up for debate.)
