Basically a Mexican standoff between prominent countries that possess nuclear weapons and have different polictical agendas. Causes the entire world to be gripped in a sort of doomsday fatalism. Also results in peace talks to boil down to a pissing match in which each side takes a "I'll-throw-down-my-gun-if-you-throw-down-your-gun-first" attitude.
In "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" the apes may have survived if they had thier own nukes. The mutant humans wouldn't have used thier nuke because of fear of mutually assured destruction. Which didn't matter anyway, because they all ended up dead, like a bunch of pork rinds.

Get the Skeptically Absurd mug.A psychological and social consequence of the generational culture divide and the introduction of the internet to youth, especially late Milennials/Gen Z, who conform to Satorian Ideals of nihilism, hopelessness, keen awareness, and a lethargic attitude to much of life's troubles. This has created a strange group of individuals who are totally alien from other generations, and who's motivations, personality, interests, and lifestyle are combinations and variations of infinite (often online factors) totally unseen in prior years. In simple terms, it is the extreme complexity of today's youth, and is what isolates them from their peers. In terms of personality, interests, and desire, they can be seen as "absurdist", or difficult to explain. In a sort-of faux mental-illness type way, where understanding what's going on in their head would take an entire wiki, and often a reason is lacking. It embraces the chaos of reality in the most nihilistic (and directionless) way possible.
tl;dr, the depressing autistic nihilistic absurdist way the Satori generation navigates reality.

Get the Satorian Absurdism mug.A strategic doctrine or philosophy that stands as the antithesis of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). Instead of ensuring peace through the threat of mutual annihilation, Mutual Assured Regeneration promotes the idea that all parties commit to rebuilding, renewing, and uplifting one another in the event of a conflict, leading to a perpetual cycle of cooperation and peace. The principle is rooted in the concept of "agreeing to agree," where collaboration and positive reinforcement are the foundations for global security and prosperity.
The leaders adopted a policy of Mutual Assured Regeneration, ensuring that any future disputes would lead to collective efforts to heal and strengthen all involved rather than bringing about their mutual destruction.
