Doesn't change my answer, except that Putin/[insert dictator of choice here] shouldn't be planning our destruction either, because no one should.

Also see this comment. Tl;dr: I literally don't care about governments' rights to defend themselves from each other when, in any case, it will be the rest of life on Earth that pays the price.
