That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy... the FEAR to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision-making process which rules out human meddling, the Doomsday machine is terrifying and simple to understand... and completely credible and convincing.
It was prophetic. Russia has the Soviet era Perimeter legacy. It is a doomsday system. While it has five layers of alert states, once at the highest alert status, the automated response is in countermand mode, if its alert status isn't lowered or countermanded within, or every twenty minutes, It is assumed that no one alive can launch a final Counter Strike, it follows with the automated launch of four code distributing dedicated ICBMs. Final launch codes and authority are then distributed and the remnants of the nuclear arsenal are all launched as a single strike.
@Max William Lauf The technology required is easily within the means of even the smallest ..........nuclear power...... It requires only the will to do so.
What's scary is that Strangelove's description of the Doomsday Machine is creepily plausible. The Soviets' original design for Tsar Bomba was for a 100 megaton yield, and there really is no theoretical limit to the yield of a hydrogen bomb if you don't have to deliver it. Plus, one of the variant designs for Tsar Bomba was a cobalt-jacketed form intended to enhance radioactive fallout yields. Edward Teller, in the U.S., came up with a so-called "backyard bomb" that was probably very similar in nature.
Yes. Cobalt-jacketed H-bombs were part of the public discussion in that era. Such weapons --- deliverable cobalt bombs --- were the basis for the nuclear doomsday scenario in Nevil Shute's novel On The Beach.

Actually a lot of scenes are totally improvised. Take the president call for example, thats totally off script. But when you a have such a killer cast, every mistake could be a jewel.
The U.S.S.R nuclear-control device, "Dead Hand" is somewhat close to the doomsday device this movie depicts. The purpose of it is to ensure the retaliation capabilities of the Soviet Military, despite possible absence of its government. Supposedly it's still in-use and active.
I really hope Peter Sellers got hazard pay for this film. That's a lot of shit to remember (SCOTT! A flubbed line? You had one job! I've got at least 4)
The New York Times was right, though, as Strangelove indicates they were in fact working along those lines even if Strangelove ultimately recommended against it.
