You are president. A hostile adversary nation announces that they are going to launch a massive nuclear strike on your country 1 month from now. You have nukes of your own and are capable of retaliating if you so choose. They are on submarines, and highly survivable. But the adversary confidently proclaims that you will not retaliate, because they have run scientific projections, and if you do retaliate, the combined effect of both nation’s nukes will permanently and irreversibly destroy the Earth’s climate, while the first initial strike of nukes alone would not suffice. You consult with your environmentalists, scientists and intelligence advisors, and they run calculations and confirm that the adversary’s words are indeed correct - that if you simply absorb the first wave of nukes and refrain from retaliation, the Earth’s climate will in fact survive; albeit worsened; but if you launch your own nukes in return, Earth’s climate will be irretrievably broken beyond repair. Assume that your only options are to launch all your nukes in return, or nothing at all, no option in between. The day comes, and the enemy launches their nukes. Do you retaliate? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/3611))_ ---
