not sure i would agree with that being unlikley - the USSR were no more keen on nuclear war than the west was [both sides having their idiots of course] and that's what makes deterrent work; it's when one side does not care that we are all in trouble

I have to say I avoided watching "Dr. Strangelove" for ages and then finally ended up watching it. What a great film and fantastic performances by the cast.

In recent times Putin hasn't held back in reminding us that Russia is a nuclear power. I do remember the story of James Blunt saving us from a very dodgy situation.
