This is long, but a good piece on a terrible subject. I don't agree with everything in it, but I appreciate the attempt to view the nuance, grey areas and humanity.

It's a wonderful read. Well worth your time picking up. When I am done with this Viking series I'd love to have @CatJarman on the HHA podcast for a sort of post-mortem conversation. There will certainly be stuff that would benefit from an expert's perspective!

Places like the RAND corporation and other nuclear think tanks have studied this problem for decades. Whether their conclusions are correct is debatable. @fmkaplan s book “The Wizards of Armageddon” is a great read if you like this stuff (and if you haven’t already read it).

This whole thread is interesting.

Check out his other fantastic book “The Wizards of Armageddon” which details the attempts to get great intelligences together to try to formulate how to deal with these unbelievably powerful weapons. @fmkaplan
