I can't help but view it with disgust just at the headline of having the wrong kind of mentality. It is a spiteful logical fallacy of the worst kind. "Soviets terrified of plan to nuclear first strike whole world - good!" Just because even the vilest foe dislikes it doesn't mean it is a good idea.

The whole article seems to be about shutting down thinking and manipulation via playing with emotions.

I am probably an outlier but I view that as an active sign that is terrible because otherwise they would lead on better points. The article made me /less/ supportive of it. It is perhaps unduly harsh but I would call it an outright propaganda piece not because of the message but how it was delivered.
