were worried about, I bet it wasn't that they were on the precipice of a near global war that will ultimately have 50M casualties.

I bet the Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand probably didn't even make front page headlines at the time.

We had been sending "advisors" for years to Vietnam for years before it grew into America's greatest military defeat.

Shit even with this Russian investigation, a lot of these stories aren't new stories. So many things have popped up and died down and the full significance wasn't known at the time (e.g., Hillary Clinton called Trump a Russian Puppet all the way back in the presidential debates).

My point is that the shit that will probably wipe us out won't even make headlines when it first starts being noticed, like this story.
