It's a good thing that the us doesn't have a dead hand system. The US and all the nuclear powers should have a "we won't strike first" policy. The reason is it really is mutually assured destruction to send nukes between at least the us, china, and russia. So none of them should ever do it. There have been multiple times where at least the us and russia had false alarms that the other side was about to strike them, and that would have been the end of most of our lives. If china & russia won't do 'no first strike' then the us should do it alone, hopefully bringing them along, for the reason at least that it helps our safety.
