Aucbvax.1611 fa.arms-d utzoo!duke!mhtsa!eagle!ucbvax!ES@MIT-MC Wed Jun 10 20:16:58 1981 Imminent nuclear war? 1. Another scenario is nuclear civil war. After all, many corporations, even individuals, are richer than most third world countries, and have better access to the required expertese.

2. What to do about the threat of nuclear war?

2.1 We should have destroied communism after the USSR became a nuclear power. Too late to bomb them now.

2.2 We can only destroy communism now from within, by a war of truth. Voice of America should be unleashed. Radio jamming can be countered with frequency hopping VLSI receivers which can be dropped by the millions over communist territory. Might the communist leadership launch a war if they felt they were about to lose power? Maybe, and that is one reason why we need the CIA and a first strike capability.

2.3 Let's cut off loans to communist countries. Maybe they will die when they can't live off capitaliam as parasites.

2.4 Only sure solution is to colonize space.

3. Ridiculous idea of the year award: let's give the Russians technology developed at our expense to shoot down missiles developed at our expense.
