Anyways I'd just like people to think a little about what it means to keep two nuclear armed forces on high alert for several days. There is a, ahem, slight possibility that the whole nuclear question stops being a question the politicians are wrestling with and instead becomes a snap decision by a high strung military officer.
Somewhat related note, a right side up Justice was pulled when someone was doing Tarot in the Discord. Which ended up being incredibly fitting because.

Do you... not believe in nuclear weapons? Like, are you under the impression that they are not a thing or cannot affect things?
No, it won't. Because there are two plausible scenarios at this point.
One where, ten years from now, they look at the Soviet Union and see the state that fueled the Algerians as a proxy against the French, then fought one naval battle against them, won, and then backed down and the French genocided the Algerians.
And another where, ten years from now, they look at the Soviet Union and see a radioactive moonscape ruled by mutant catfish, and over it all a great tombstone reading "WE FUCKED AROUND, WE FOUND OUT."

There's a whole thing in the rules of the sea about collisions. To overly simplify: They're both at fault. But we actually shot someone. Warning shots don't count, the first lives lost from a shot in anger were French men from Russian steel.
That's enough of a tipping point.
OK, we have dice, we have Tarot, who brought the goat? Or is someone splurging for a bull this time?Somewhat related note, a right side up Justice was pulled when someone was doing Tarot in the Discord. Which ended up being incredibly fitting because.

There's always option 3: The current regime gets politically coup'd and the new guys are much more aggressively into one direction or the other.
Wanna bet on us getting a bunch of military men who don't like their victory getting a case of backstab-itis?

I think that if this doesn't end in Armageddon, Humphrey will very much deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
That's the thing. It's an informal commitment and we can use its end as leverage if the Americans don't keep up their side of the bargain.
Where else do the Americans have nuclear weapons stationed?
Oh very much. Not only are our forces in that position, but the French are too. And they are far more likely to launch at a random radar blip, because by the time they even see an incoming nuclear weapon they have no more than a few minutes to react before it lands on them. And then there's the Americans and any real life General Rippers they may have.

Yeah, Justice being pulled upright was a fun one here because it doesn't really say a correct course of action, but it is so incredibly fitting to the moment, especially with the longer reads on it.Somewhat related note, a right side up Justice was pulled when someone was doing Tarot in the Discord.

Spain and UK I think. Forget what Nordic area looks like.
Considering how much of the USSRs political establishment find there particular brand of socialism/communism is not being seen as the right one, they would relish the opportunity to try make there interpretation the true way to the catfish people,.... But then there would be multiple of groups of these people doing this and I'm just now describing the start of some future video game our developers will likely make?

I voted for sending a force because I thought that worst case we could off-ramp escalation before we end up in some doom loop. We'll the worst case has arrived and now is the time to brinksmanship exit. We showed the flag, now we can back off and get the US to snub France as part of the deal. Good enough.

We already dunked on the Frenchies. And we can still keep doing it, but on the hush hush.
