The nuclear triad probably isn't everything.
I wonder which embassies contain nuclear warheads. For the ones that do, which staff know what is in the mysterious secretive box? Who presses the button, and does that person know what the button does?
- arethuza 6y ago"I wonder which embassies contain nuclear warheads" I would guess as a first approximation - almost certainly zero. The risks of discovery are far too high.
- ufmace 6y agoI doubt any do. Those things take maintenance. It'd be tough to transport them and any repair parts and needed personnel in and out without anyone ever noticing. Risks of discovery are pretty high, considering how many bugs and spies have been successfully snuck into most embassies. Hell, if I was going to plan such a thing, I'd probably rather stick it in a random building somewhere than in an embassy. Maybe more importantly, if you've got a nuclear war in progress, it's not necessarily such a good idea to kill the only people who can surrender.
