May I suggest you send these photos to the Clinton presidential campaign, just so’s she understands what she’s apparently willing to obliterate if, indeed, she thinks that nuclear escalation is a solution to anything.

She – they – don’t care about that, that, that or that. Maybe the flamingos’ fate would hit a chord!
