    They have a similar argument in "yes prime minister" To be honest it kinda makes sense, the whole MAD thing only works if you can convince your adversaries that you are unhinged

      lmao that's where I first got this idea from. I've never heard a convincing counter-argument - if Russia was rolling tanks into Alaska and Washington, we still wouldn't push the button. Probably.

        I think you're underestimating how genocidal the average American and average American politician is. Once anti-imperialist soldiers step on US soil, nukes become popular opinion.
