I'm ok with bombing people. But don't pretend that you can accomplish nation-building with the resources of limited warfare.

The only reason it didn't happen is because we were afraid that the Russians would get the same idea.

Yeah I love my culture, but I hacked your computer too and I didn't find anything interesting?
Oh maybe because you don't have a culture :-(

You're welcome. The wacky world of Cold War arms technology is so fun to read about. Thankfully, common sense won out in the end, but there are still so many fucking insane projects.

Reminds me of that Soviet dude who decided not to push the nuke button.

>"On September 26, 1983, just three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm,[2] and his decision is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in large-scale nuclear war.
