I sometimes wonder how we managed to make it through the latter half of the 20th century without cracking the planet open like an egg

Cool way of presenting it. Love the irony that only #2 and #3 were ever used "in anger", even through lots of periods when fighting was occurring.

What would be neat is to have another with the countries currently at war flashing too...

The only winning move is not to play.

I figured that you would like this.

It looks as though the flashes have slowed a bit from their high point in the 60's.

So ... let me get this straight: we have a nuclear war where the objective is to nuke ourselves?

Why does this sound like a broken form of Irish stand down? Whoa!
