i said hypothesis of in the sense that it was the hypothesis of that doctrine that in such a state of events mutual destruction would assured. this however cannot be backed up by historical data suggesting that either side first had intention of using arms or force, or that either side had the technological and governmental resources to assure the annihilation of either side.
mutually assued destruction was a misnomer, there was nothing assured about it.
