Normally heard in the context of `mutually assured destruction`; when something is mutually assured, it is guaranteed to happen to both parties involved. This phrase is normally linked to discussions involving nuclear weapons, where `mutually assured destruction` means that we are all guaranteed to die.
Hindsight is always 20-20

Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story...tell it to Reader's Digest!

a.k.a. MAD, refers to the military stalemate between Russia and USA between late 1940 and the present. The basic premise is that each side has so many nuclear weapons in its arsenal, that strike/counter strike would destroy both combatants.
