Happy to suggest some books on how cold War was actually navigated by both parties without destroying the planet. Not to spoil the ending, but at no point in time was "if we do this and then they blow us all up, so be it" a stra

“ If they want to end the world, so be it.” This is not a way rational adults make decisions. I truly hope you are not a voter in any democratic nuclear-armed country.
