Cliff Notes : Russian guy gets warning of five nuclear missiles launched from the US. He\'s about to press a button that would start an irreversible nuclear war. But five missles? He decides it\'s a false alarm but waits for the nuclear kaboom anyway. Nothing. We live.

Man, are you stupid? Think about it. If the Soviets launched by mistake, the US would retaliate with its 1000\'s of nukes as well. With the two countries launching that many nukes at each other, including at each other\'s allies (which includes Australia) we\'d all be either :

1. dead
2. sick from radiation and die
