I mean, if I had to choose I'd much rather have a flagpole dick waving contest then nukes.
- Yea, that last time the US and Russia did this we had to ban nuclear weapons in space.
- Agreed. It doesn't make much sense to have nukes before the flagpole dick-waving contest. If you do that, there's no more anything left, so no flagpoles for contests. Much more practical to hold the contest first, and have the nukes after that.
