To borrow from snarky comments past:
Unless Vendor C has introduced a "no nuclear-apocalpyse" command that I need to enable in IOS, it seems that this thread has wandered far from the flock and subsequently lost most any relevance to the listserv and/or topic that spawned it. Cold War strategy is fascinating and all (I do mean that in a non-snarky way) but does it really belong on NANOG after it has seemingly dropped any pretense of being an analogy for anything list-relevant?
