Question

Who would have won the Cold War if it became hot?

Answer

While the Soviet Union was quite capable of launching hundreds of missiles with nuclear warheads from the sea, ground and air...brbrSo were we.brbrI was on US nuclear submarines at the time and ready to do that at a moments notice if the President deemed necessary.brbrBut we didnt. And that was the point of mutually assured destruction that prevented either side from launching. Both sides were capable of wiping out the majority of populated cities in either country.brbrWho would have won?brbrNo one.brbrbrbrbrbrgday!
