MAD

So then. Who are we going to point the replacement for the Trident nuclear weapon at?

In the old days we had MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction - you get me, I get you.

I fear this bizarre stand-off concept will be irrelevant next time around. I mean, what threat is there to a potential enemy who believes he will be blown to paradise?

Let's make it clear. There are plenty of Islamic crazies who now so very close to having nuclear weapons and who are MAD enough to use them, regardless of the catastrophic consequences.

Man have big stick. You listen to man with big stick and do what he say. You not listen to man without stick. You laugh at man without stick.
