Right, you guy's are more weird then the Northern Irish. And they talk about knee capping people ALL THE TIME! But my point still stands! Viva la Doomsday! Seriously though, there is still hope for this timeline. For example, I bet there are still terrorist problems in the Celtic Alliance, particuarly from the Loyalists. And what about the remaing nuclear weapons? The USSR almost certainly has some, as does almost any nation that has had a major warship seek refugee their (nuclear depth charges, SLBMs, bombs). The USS Nimitz was probably carrying thermonukes when she got to Australia.
