    Well, no, but I’d rather be in the position of the stick holder than the potential pointy end receiver.

      Nuclear war is not a stick battle, it’s a knife fight. You’ll both end up bleeding out. Best thing you can do is to not participate.

      People should watch Doctor Strangelove as a fucking case study.

        No, that’s not the case anymore. Modern anti-air missile systems can take care of nukes.

        It’s not a knife fight, it’s a “who can spend more money” fight to the death.
