With nations like the US and China adopting a Launch-on-Warning response
And Russia's Perimeter System still fully operational (depending on who you ask), I suspect the apocalypse will end up being completely unintentional. It's only a matter or time before an Able Archer or Norwegian Rocket Incident ends in catastrophe.
I mean, the incoming US Secretary of Defense believes the earth was created 10,000 years ago and that dinosaur fossils are the result of the animals that didn't make it onto the ark in time.
That fuckwit might not have any direct control over the USA's nuclear arsenal, but I can't imagine that we're in significantly better hands with the people who do.

Not disagreeing with that, but it doesn't explain why Russia would choose to launch a massive conventional attack against just the UK. Our best defence against such an attack isn't missile systems or early warning radar, it's article 5.
