A term used by psychotic governments to describe a fact that they can make sure that everyone
will be DESTROYED in a Mutual Nuclear Exchange, no matter who fires first, IE an Atomic War. WAR IS MAD. This
made the term First
Strike unnecessary.
The
USA and China both have Atomic
Bombs so that they can stay MAD.
The Soviet
Union used to be able to get MAD, but now they just sell the ability for others to get MAD.
