In the late 1950s, U.S. Strategic Air Command had a policy of Mutually Assured Destruction. Meaning they had planes regularly circling the earth with thermonuclear bombs. The theory being that if Russia attacked America, we would already be airborne to strike back with our own nukes, thereby destroying both sides. I think there’s a lot of stuff the government knows, that the government is doing that they’re not telling me about … and I’m okay with that.
Don’t Tell Me About Mutually-Assured Destruction
