You are obviously not acquainted with the philosophy of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) which was prevalent during the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
If The Donald went loopy and used the launch codes, there would be automatic counterstrikes on opposing countries with Nukes (ie, us, France, Israel, etc).

Probably cheaper than building a wall 1,989 miles long, at an estimated cost of $25 billion dollars (just for the construction, not counting maintenance and security costs).

Closely followed by North Korea going into low earth orbit.

I'm going to build a bunker. If everyone could stop screwing stuff up that would be good too.

I'm almost hoping he'll be elected just so that we all get a chance to see how his promises start to unravel.

I'm sure that if he gets to be president that saner minds will advise him that nuclear conflict is very bad for business and his personal fortune.

I am aware of it. There are two people in these bunkers all the time ready to act. If the one at the controls goes 'loopy' then the other shoots them. The likelihood of MAD is as likely as I am to go to Mars.

We live in interesting times.

I think you may have mis-read my post, as I said automatic counter-strike - no human intervention...
The two-key system is what the USA and the UK (on Trident) use - the Sovs (ex-Sovs now) used automatic 'launch on attack'; so if Trump did something stupid, we're toast...

Indeed. However I don't see how that supports the Remain argument? In or out that could happen.

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
JUNCKER BLASTS DEMOCRACY: EU chief brands MPs who represent voters 'part-time Europeans'
In an outspoken address the EU chief accused “some of our colleagues” of listening to the wishes of their own people rather than pandering to the vested interests of the Brussels elite.
Mr Juncker claimed the “highly exciting” period which led to the catastrophic decision to create the Euro was now “totally gone” and had been replaced by division caused by certain countries wanting to look after their own people rather than the EU project.
