Pretty interesting. I often wonder, even now that the Cold War tensions are behind us, what are the chances that something could still "go wrong" and trigger a nuclear event?

Of course, one part of the article is naively misleading: That us American are the only power to "always have reserved the preemptiver use of nuclear weapons". Pfft! As if. The Russians and any other nuclear power reserve the same option, they just say otherwise.
