[ WP ] During the Cold War one of the sides decided to fire it 's entire nuclear arsenal . For the good of human kind , the other side decided not to retaliate . You are the leader of the country about to be destroyed , about to give a final televised address ...

It felt surreal. 
 
 Cloudy. 
 
 Like nothing was actually real, all a figment of my imagination. 
 
 But there I was, waiting to stand before the world's media to announce the decision that our government had come to. The decision that would result in the deaths of millions. 
 
 There would be riots and mass chaos, and I'd surely be the victim of dozens of planned assassination attempts. Me being president and all. 
 
 But in a few days, nothing would matter. For the survival of the Planet and for all Humankind, the United States of America would allow itself to be destroyed by foreign nuclear attacks. If we fought back, no one, not one single life would survive on this rock we called earth. 
 
 `` You're on in 10!'' 
 
 I walked forward, step by step, mak - FLASH! 
 
 An unbelievable light blinded all. 
 
 The rumbling started. 
 
 All went black.
