A place to recommend, review, discuss, and geek out over 80s TV shows, mini-series, “made for TV” movies, cartoons, and commercials. Rules
They aren’t strict. Just try to keep posts on topic of 80s TV, and of course decade appropriate.
The same communities on lemmy.sdf.org are too hit or miss, availability-wise, so I made this one.

Bit of an "er, akshully" here but only four of the post-Soviet states (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan) ever had nukes in their territory post-independence, and even then all of the codes to actually launch them were still in Moscow.
And in case you're wondering what happened to them, they were all given back to Russia or dismantled (Ukraine took a bit more convincing than the other two tho)
Good to know, and I did have my suspicions about that number. To be fair, it's totally in-character for Carol to exaggerate things like that.
