China stockpiling nuclear warheads at fastest rate globally, new research shows
At this point they are wasting their money. US, China, and Russia each have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth. Having enough to destroy 1.1 earths is dumb.
It's about having enough that your enemy can't target them and blow them up in a surprise attack.
Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.
It's like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.
It's just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.
Effective? Maybe.
Incredibly stupid? Yes.
Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.
The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.
I remember playing Modern Warfare on my 360 over LIVE and that perk was so satisfying...
... And then I switched to "Hardcore mode" with friendly fire and forgot I left it on. The boys were not happy when we were holding a position and I got dropped. Tink tink...oops.
Point is, this feels kinda like that: Humanity is supposed to be on the same side and friendly fire is enabled. Nobody should be picking Martyrdom. =/
