I remember living in Europe in the 1960's and in school we had drills where we were told to get under our desks to protect us from a nuclear attack.  I remember thinking to myself, I hope we have warning and enough time to get under our desks when it happens.  I was about 5 years old, so don't call me stupid.

maybe we can be super safe and hide under our desks when we hear the big alarm sound!

"sane"

That reflects on the completely insane Wilcock.  ;)  'Sane' comparatively in that model still is somewhat insane.  ;)

norland2424

we need more nukes and not actually publish the number count

AppealPlay

Listen, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed but no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops!  Depending on the breaks.

I was in the USAF for 8 years. Several times while at HQ SAQ I was trapped in the underground when they closed the blast doors due to false alarms in the WWMCCS. Pretty unsettling at the time.

As Lewis Black said, "They had us hide under kindling!"

Does anyone else not care how many more nukes the US and Russia make?  Don't we already have enough to wipe each other off the planet?

The reason that there are more nukes than the world needs to kill itself is because of...

Wait for it...

MONEY.

More specifically, the military-industrial complex as it existed under the REAGAN ADMINISTRATION.  As long as there was more money to be made for him and his friends, Reagan kept ordering the nukes.  And the Soviets responded in kind.

Don't let phony "historians" rewrite history.  Ronald Reagan is one of the biggest reasons the world is covered in nuclear weapons the way it is.

Shouldn't we be more worried about Pakistan and their nukes?
When you have one country whose philosophy is that you get to heaven by killing the infidels next to a country whose philosophy is that if you don't get it right this time you will come back to try and do better in the next life, what is the deterrence?

Totally surprised it hasn't happened already.

I hated the fact that "Threads" showed that cat burning. Uncool BBC!

They did that back then -- it was "just a cat".  I couldn't watch 2001 Space Oddity years later, either. 

I'm glad you mentioned it -- I don't want to watch now.

You're on your own, ShayP!  We'll have another date.
