Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" remains a timeless and important apocalyptic sci-fi movie that satirizes the Cold War era and the potential for nuclear annihilation. The film's dark humor and portrayal of absurdities in nuclear policy and technology still resonate today, serving as a potent reminder of the consequences of human folly and the unchecked power of those in charge.
Tim Cain, co-creator of the original Fallout RPG, has settled the long-standing debate on who dropped the first nuclear bomb in the game's universe. Confirming popular theories, Cain revealed that it was China who initiated the nuclear apocalypse due to their discovery of the US military's development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). The virus, which caused mutations in creatures and humans, was being hidden by the US, leading to China's decision to launch the first strike. Cain's explanation aligns with in-game lore and sheds light on the relationship between the US, Canada, and China in the Fallout universe.
