If the U.S. and Russia engaged in Nuclear War..who would win? (states, Oregon)

[Nepenthe]

I'm amazed that you guys wouldn't see the poll for what it is and what was intended. I mean, look at the choices.

[Rakin]

Political leanings will not matter. Right or wrong will not matter.

Mutual self destruction. That's what kept the cold war in check.

[Compression]

Who would win?

China.

The entire world loses. Radiation doesn't observe boundaries. I'm not being dramatic when I say that it's pretty much the end of the world as we know it. What a silly poll.

[MongooseHugger]

Answer: Nobody. It's called mutually assured destruction FOR A REASON.

They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk. After five years they came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal.It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last 10 seconds with the Russian dog. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog. The Russian dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the American dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and consumed the Russian dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and the biggest meanest Siberian wolves.""That's nothing", an American replied. "Do you know how hard it is to make an alligator look like Dachshund
