World Leaders Play "Nukes On The Loose"

Post by Reub »

World leaders, meeting in the Hague, spent part of their time playing a computer game designed especially for them..."Nukes on the loose".

"World leaders meeting in The Hague this week took time off from Ukraine Tuesday, March 26, to play a computer game that was even less amusing: “Nukes on the loose”? had President Barack Obama, China’s Xi Jinping, British premier David Cameron and Chancellor Angela Merkel among others testing their responses to a simulation of an imminent threat of unnamed terrorists stealing nuclear material from an unidentified country and assembling a dirty bomb for unleashing against a Western city."

Sounds more like rehearsing for a staged event.

I'm encouraged. I suggest a whole line of educational video games be developed aimed specifically at our leaders. Clearly Monopoly and Risk aren't getting the job done.

I don't think these guys are qualified to play CandyLand.

Obama could introduce the game "Operation" to the group and hope for somewhat better results than he's gotten with Obamacare.

Hope is always that groups strategy. I mean....it was the damn campaign slogan. In hindsight this was brilliant. Vote for me based on hope.....because that's all you'll have....hope.

Too bad it's never rationale thought.
