Global Atemporal Nuclear Cold War

How about a game of Global Atemporal Nuclear Cold War?

While watching this, you get the impression that the cold war wasn’t a cold war at all, because over fifty years, several countries routinely bombed themselves in the effort to posture a nuclear gangster stance. Especially the US, who bombed the crap out of the western United States, fulfilling the dreams of many a social conservative, albeit in atemporal slow-motion.

And what the hell is up with France? Over 300 nuclear tests? What are they trying to prove? That a Warsaw Pact land war in Europe would be a bad idea? Crazy.
