That\'s a big leap, I fail to see an implication of that. He states that they (himself and by extension the Americans) discarded it because it doesn\'t work as a deterrent. He chides the Russians for compounding the things for the worse, but it doesn\'t mean the machine is his child. As an expy of the scientist of Operation Paperclip, we can assume it was designed by one of his counterparts from beyond the iron curtain, or even by a regular soviet one.

That\\\'s a big leap, I fail to see an implication of that. He is a savvy nuclear theoricist and states that they (himself and by extension the Americans) discarded it because it doesn\\\'t work as a deterrent.

As an expy of the scientist of Operation Paperclip, we can assume it was designed by one of his counterparts from beyond the iron curtain, or even by a regular soviet one. Strangelove is even contemptuos of it, \\\"it\\\'s within the means of even the smallest nuclear power\\\"

* NotSoDifferent: Muffley and Kissov engage in friendly banter yielding to defensive posturing. From just Muffley\\\'s half of the conversation, it\\\'s clear both men are selfish, ineffectual bureaucrats more than world leaders.


NotSoDifferent is widely misused for audience analysis, when the trope is meant for in-universe remarks, realizations and the like. Both are goofy, but I\\\'d argue that Muffley is not so bad, he\\\'s a compassionate man, surrounded by general rippers, but who almost prevents the end of the world thanks to his quick decissions, he\\\'s not a lecherous chap who is partying instead of ruling.
