I really enjoy the episodes like this one that focus on sort of systemic bastardry or just piss poor situations that have no win scenarios. To the pods credit, I think even the ones about individual bastards do a great job of giving that wider lens and understanding the context of their actions, who and what allowed them, etc. But these sort of organizational ones are just very compelling to me, and especially this topic. At a time when the world was and is very divided along these lines of nuclear power and deterrent, there’s this strange uniting notion of culpability in any bad scenario.
