read about this guy a few months ago. real human bean

It's amazing how much of a difference you can make just by looking out your window and saying "bullshit, there's nothing there"

He couldn't look out his window. Remember, they had to launch BEFORE the enemy launched, otherwise a second strike could be limited or impossible. So a decision had to be made before the missiles arrived.

was he comfortable when he passed lads?

He called the right thing to do.

Daily reminder that only the USA and Russia would be post apocalyptic shitholes. Africa, Australia, south American and most of Asia would have been fine.

yes, you're just patriotic globally you pleb.

Or you can be patriotic for your own cuntry and still help save the whirl. tf you think ww2 was skank.

oh so thats what happened in The Road

RIP in peace, Stan.

Imagine yourself in a different situation.

You are leading a country that has been in a nuclear stalemate with another for years.
One day, for reasons you cannot know, it could be deliberate, radicals could have taken control, you can only speculate, but you find out with complete certainty that nuclear missiles have been fired towards your country from the enemy.

Your country will definitely turn to ash.
Knowing that everyone in your country will die regardless, do you counter attack and kill everyone in the other country as well?

>Imagine yourself in a different situation.

I don't have to imagine, I was 15 years old at the time and just starting high school.

If the nukes didn't vaporize me (and they probably would, metro Detroit here) I would have been at least fairly well suited for the post-apocalyptic world, having been a Boy Scout and young and in good shape.

Shit would have sucked, though.

That isn't the point, dummy.

Since i don't want to make another historical death thread, i just wanted to say that Albert Speer son died three days ago. He really did nothing worthy of Veeky Forumstorical discussion (unless you are into German Urbanists). but i still find it interesting.

Wasn't there some other guy who also saved the world. Was a Soviet double agent working for Americans. He did something but was compromised and actually burnt alive.

This board didn't even care when Schabowski and Noriega died.

I wouldn't. What would it accomplish?

Not launching your nuclear arsenal would be the biggest "Fuck You" possible. Basically you'd be the saviour of humanity, while the other side would be the evil guys that were prepared to risk everything to accomplish their goals.

F. But he did everything wrong.

World is shithole.

I'm pretty sure that's from James Bond.

Every country in the world should have sent him $50 a month for the rest of his life.

But we didn't because we suck.

$50/month would be a pretty big part of the budget for most countries user

Not really.
