Psychiatrists are people who can make inappropriate statements on occasion. Most of us do on occasion. He's surely no expert in the fields of national security or international relations. However, as an expert in psychology/psychiatry perhaps he should know better that scaring people isn't good. I'm unsure of his motive. Perhaps he was just in a pissy mood and decided to be obnoxious. Who knows.
No need to worry about such a catastrophic thing.
