A spot on assessment of what's going on now. I agree, the leaders would probably hate being in the bunkers without all of us "proles" to order around. If you have never seen it, "Threads" is a 1984 BBC TV movie about nuclear war and its aftermath in the UK. It's a winner if you like downbeat films that make you really think.

That many war heads ARE excessive. I’d like to see a simulation where one low yield nuke sets off a bunch of others. Either way, once one is fired, it’s probably lights out for humans.

If you’re looking for a real spirit-lifter, check out “Nuclear War: A Scenario” by Annie Jacobsen. It will do nothing to ease your fears…but it’s a fascinating read.

Jesus, Dirtnap. This is incredible writing, but I gotta fall asleep after this. I did snort on "small dick energy leaders."
