John Oliver has a happy political topic: Impending nuclear annihilation

Everytime I think about nuclear weapons I think of growing up watching the movie War Games.  

“How about a nice game of chess?”

But, John Oliver wants to remind you about the 1950’s and the warm fuzzy optimism about how we’re all going to be ok when hit by a nuclear bomb because we can just hide under our desks or even a friendly picnic blanket! But what about things like ICBM’s (intercontinental ballistic missiles) controlled by computers that use floppy drives?  Sorry, America, that’s been a little compromised.

If you’re afraid of the end of the world here’s a gif of a sleepy kitten whose belly is being rubbed:
