What I Learned From the Wizards of Armageddon

Kissinger said Nixon would not use nuclear weapons in a crisis and that to only have the option of killing 80 million people is the height of immorality. I found that fascinating when you juxtaposition that sentiment, the civilian leadership sentiment with the Curtis Lamay Strategic Air Command, a scyop sentiment. And yeah, Nixon once gave a public speech where he talked about the need to develop some options that would not leave us the choice of surrender or suicide in an event like this. So that's what he was talking about.
