I'd like to know how SW makes the leap from a stupid comment by a TV presenter, to World War 3.

Does he really believe there is any chance of that, in the face of the knowledge that there would certainly be two, or more, piles of radioactive ash, and that the USA would have missiles to spare at the end?

NOBODY is going to push THAT button matey!

National suicide is NOT an option.

I duuno! .....Freakin' paranoiacs are everywhere in the US!
