America after the nuclear war: The John Glenn administration

[Serenity Now]

I hope this is a joke.. This story is exciting but I hope nobody here actually believes the scenario of limited nuclear war is in any war plausible. Even Thatcher didn't..

If either side reach a point where they see it neccessary to deliberately use nuclear weapons they wouldn't just drop a handful at first and then see what happens next.. They'd go all-out in their first strike to avoid the risk of their weapons being destroyed by the other sides all-out counter-strike in response to their own limited attack.

It's amusing how people underestimate the role of nuclear weapons in hypothetical wars between the US and the USSR to make things more 'fun' than the the actual, 'boring' scenario of half the northern hemisphere being turned into dust..

Just another thought.. Why would Russia begin with Britain and not a country with a land link? Or a country that wouldn't trigger war with the United States by invading?

Morever, why would the Soviets invade Western Europe at all? They couldn't even hold down afghanistan..
