How would you respond to a first Nuclear Strike as Prez? (MAD discussion)

[r16]

awfully strange , ı was sure ı had posted .

ı will truly and really and very truly level the US as soon as some guy in a bunker in North Dakota or Montana catches the flu and sneezes on the job . Seems resolute enough ?

(must be the page changing software and stuff)

I dunno, probably not. What would be the point if it came to that?

I'm just glad Stanislav Petrov though better of it in 1983.

From "submarine movies", I liked Phantom. Unlike in most of other Hollywood movies, Russians not depicted there as cartoonish villains. But it's also unrealistic, of course.

Ever watched the Pale Blue Dot thing? What would be the point of throwing more of the dot into the fire?

My word is golden. If I tell everybody I will turn their country into a hot, radioactive waste dump if they launch a nuclear strike on us, then that is what's going to happen.
