300 nuclear missiles are heading your way. You must respond. What
now?
The United States is being attacked by 300 nuclear missiles. In order to eliminate all land-based
intercontinental ballistic missile silos in the nation, Russia undoubtedly launched this preemptive assault. Many of the approaching rockets cannot be destroyed by anti-missile defences,
which means 2 million Americans will perish.
I just took the oath of office as president of the United States, and now I'm here in the Oval
Office watching television news of conflict that is getting worse in Europe. I suddenly hear a
secret service agent enter the space and order me to leave right away. My senior national
security officials join me as I descend in the elevator to the Situation Room in the White House,
where they brief me on the impending attack. I've got fifteen minutes to answer. As time runs
out, I am given three choices, all of which call for retaliation attacks against Russia that are
expected to result in the deaths of 5–45 million people. What shall I do?
