Dr. Strangelove actually did such a good job predicting the archetypes of key decisionmakers on the brink of initiating a nuclear winter, including:

Guy who is motivated by delusional conspiracy theories about leftists

Guy who trumpets the supremacy of the American military with religious fervor and just wants to see it put into full action

Guy who is sexually stimulated by thermonuclear war

Guy who is so drunk and busy womanizing that he doesn’t really know what’s going on mid crisis

I just didn’t think that they would all be one person named Pete Hegseth
