The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Huh, I guess we're on track for some of the Star Trek timeline.

First episode of TNG had Q going through periods of human history and one of the things he brings into the trial is a drugged-out super-soldier.

Too bad we're following the World War 3 portion of Star Trek.

The only possible silver lining to this horror show is the possibility that it will eventually escalate to a level of mutually assured destruction that results in an uneasy stability rather than... well, mutual destruction.
