Reminds me of the "ARCHER: 1999" season of the show Archer, and one of the episodes features a sentient doomsday device, who was aptly called Mr. Deadly π
"I would like to explode at the earliest opportunity."
"The sole aim of my being is to explode."
The whole episode was him trying to convince someone to ask him to detonate (as he can't do it himself). He was even having a conversation, via pheromones, with a butterfly and asked if it would ask him to explode π
Mr Deadly: The butterfly. A remarkable illustration of the capacity of living things... to change.
Lana: Hey, is that something you think you might be able to... What's going on, bud?
Mr Deadly: Oh, I'm conversing with the butterfly via pheromones. I just asked it to say, "Please detonate."
Lana: I thought you weren't gonna try to explode!
Mr Deadly: That's not... anything I said.
Mr Deadly: Anyway, it was a hard pass. Much more foul-mouthed than I expected.
Mr Deadly: Same to you, you bastard! <shakes fist>
Archer: <sarcastically> Well, then I guess we're safe.
Sorry... It's just a great show, and episode! Makes me chuckle just reading the transcript π

Β @patrickkelly6691Β Apologies, I didn't mean to give off vibes that Archer did it first, as I was aware that wasn't the case. The entire season that episode was part of, "Archer - 1999" as I mentioned (and 2 other seasons), consisted entirely of episodes that paid homage to pop culture (and cult classic) movies, and also books I think (I'm not a book reader, myself). It also included internal throwbacks/inside jokes to the series, itself, despite being what one could deem "standalone" in both season and episodes (the episodes might even fit the definition of "anthology").
The season's teaser (played at the end of the previous season), and the immediate first moments of the season's first episode, are right out of Alien, as another pop culture example.
I won't give away the why on the reasoning for why it, and a few seasons prior, deviated so drastically far from the series' original story and plot, as doing so would be a massive spoiler...
However, 1999 and the previous season called Danger Island are some of my fav episodes! Right up there with Archer Vice, which... well, I'm not sure calling that season an homage OR spinoff for Miami Vice would be correct, as it's more the opposite of that show... but the season title certainly is! π
Hopefully the show can get itself back into the groove it originally had, as in my opinion, it has kinda sucked since 1999 ended. Still though, that's 10 seasons of pure greatness, which I frequently re-watch! β€οΈ βΊοΈ

I've strongly said said the very first nuclear weapon that, that Russia will not go the nuclear route... It would be literal suicide for Putin. It would undoubtedly spur a joint black ops mission by many countries, to go in and take him out!
That's assuming the command actually gets carried out! Because I'm a bit torn on whether such command would be, since those subordinates would all know it would lead to Russia's demise, whereas disobeying it would only be the likely demise of that individual... but family and friends would probably survive. A worthy self sacrifice, in my opinion.
But yea, Russia's that's have ALWAYS been hollow, in my eyes.
Not just for the above reasoning either!
But because Putin wants Ukraine, and having irradiated pockets of land does you NO good!
Which one might say: "but, their plans for the dirty bombs with the power plant(s)"...
To which I say: Russians CLEARLY have no idea just how bad that would be, since they AREN'T TAUGHT ABOUT SUCH INCIDENTS!
Chornobyl (Ukrainian spelling), swept under the rug, and we already know Russia has no qualms about erasing history from their textbooks soccer it's happened already during this war... All one had to do is look towards their occupation of Chornobyl at the beginning of the war, and all the STUPID shit they were doing in the red zone. So soldiers and likely even those in command, probably thinks that turning a nuclear power plant into a dirty bomb would only be bad for a couple years, in the surrounding area. The concept of wine blowing irradiated dust into Russia is probably a foreign concept to them! ππ
