Casually suggesting an act of war against a nuclear armed country to own the libs.
Musk should read about the British nuclear doctrine before making further jokes. (TLDR, It’s a system similar to the dead hand, except its not automated, even if the state falls, the nuclear subs are still out there prowling with their final orders)
Yup, that’s a pretty standard feature of all nuclear armed nations. The final order of all missile forces is launch with pre-programmed targets. It’s one of the reasons strategists think it’s very likely that a single nuclear strike on a nuclear power could cause a chain reaction of everyone launching nukes.
