Putin and the Elder Wand

This is why a power like Nuclear Weapon shouldn't exist. At the end of the Harry Potter series, Harry breaks the Elder Wand implying that a power like that shouldn't exist. At the time, I thought he is stupid to throwaway something so powerful. But now I understand what happens if it ends up in the wrong hands. The entire world is just standing idle doing nothing, just because Putin has those nuclear weapons.

A dark-mode social-media post compares nuclear weapons to Harry Potter's Elder Wand. The author says Harry breaking the wand once seemed foolish, but now makes sense because a powerful weapon in the wrong hands makes the world afraid to act; the punchline names Putin and his nuclear arsenal. It is shared as a political reaction to frustration over global inaction toward Russia.
