A hypothetical example: imagine that the USSR and the USA were *almost* in a Global Termonuclear War. Then, the USSR strikes an attack against Washington and kills the USA president, and the USA (partially) surrenders (say, the USA gives South America to the USSR). This day becomes known in the USSR as "the Victory Day", and, as expected, it's celebrated with lots of vodka. So the USA intelligence learns that even the nuke-controllers consume half their yearly quota of vodka during this day. Wouldn't it be brilliant to launch a nuclear attack against the USSR on this day? Alberto Monteiro
