What's this about checkers? Isn't that solved from starting position?

Pfff, only if you know what you're doing.

That said, we could always play Go.

Denuclear war is inevitable. WE'RE ALL GOING TO SURVIVE.

Denuclear war is inevitable. WE'RE ALL GOING TO SURVIVE.

A GRIM, DARK FUTURE OF PEACE AND LIFE. THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

FEAR THE AWESOME POWER OF MY B2 BOMBERS!

And in other news, if Scotland gains independence, we might have to denuclearize.

(They have all our nuclear missile silos, Britain wants to keep them but Scotland doesn't)

I'm sure they'd get replaced somewhere in England or Wales if they removed them up here. Regardless though it doesn't really matter, if we decide it shouldn't be on our territory then that's that, whether the rest of the UK has pseudo-colonial or globetrotting ambitions or not.

If, of course, the British government saw the light and scrapped the system altogether it would be marvellous. I mean, I know (to paraphrase Frankie Boyle) we need it to protect ourselves from 1970s Russia and stuff but groups like the North Koreans or the Iranians just shouldn't be a threat to us.

And thus began the First World Peace.

Which continued until ended with the treaty of London, ending the longest, most bloodless peace in history.

It was signed after a devout Muslim man in Turkmenistan sneezed twice and it sounded a bit like "la ilha ila Allah".

Believe it or not, but MAD works (sometimes).

Take it away, and the world might become less safe, rather than more.

Agreed, but it's not a stable way of ensuring peace.

[10ebbor10]

Yup, There's 3 ways of preventing * war.

Increasing possible costs.  (MAD) 
Decreasing gains.             (I dunno what works here. Scorched Earth?)   
Reducing the means.         (Sanctions, EGCS, ....)




*A strategically planned war. Nothing's going to stop a nutjob.

[mainiac]

How the hell did these guys build nuclear weapons?

The Soviets left some fissile material in a storage facility during the cold war.

They also have their own uranium mines
