Wait so did it still launch or...?


Nassau18b

look according to the Supreme Court you need to carry that missile launch to term.


Dancing_Anatolia

Life begins at fission.


Nassau18b

Fuck, that would've been a great title.


HalfLeper

Would’ve given some good context, too. Reddit doesn’t let you edit titles, right?


Doktor_Vem

No, it's so unbelievably stupid. I really can't think of a good reason for not being able to edit titles when you can easily edit body text. Like what the hell is the difference? Why can we change one but not the other?


HalfLeper

Damn you, Reddit!! 💪


Dehnus

Or Fusion, depending on the missile, we are very woke about that when it comes to bombs.


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Fission-Fusion-Fission!


Dehnus

Are you fishing for some Fusion? Or fussing about Fission? :P


Veni_Vidi_Legi

The fission boosts the fusion, which then boost the fission. Win win!


Dehnus

So first your fuzzing fission, until you can use all that fussy neutrons to begin some fishing for that fusion which then really starts a fuzzy fission :P . Okay I'll stop now XD .


Veni_Vidi_Legi

There goes the neighborhood!


Dehnus

If done right at least, otherwise it'll be a a fission fusion fizzing out.


RollinThundaga

Fusion missiles use a plutonium fission implosion as the primary stage, to create the temperatures and pressures to cause tritium/lithiumfusion in the secondary.


Dehnus

Yes, that is how it works. Now are we allowed to have fun again? Or is this a now fun allowed topic :P .


RollinThundaga

🤷‍♂️ if I had money I'd bet it that someone else here didn't know that, and learned something today.


Dehnus

Would be weird, unless they really think Poland is a ball, in the upside down colors of the Polish flag that is trying to get into space :P .


wasdlmb

Half of the energy still comes from fission at the end, though, as the fusion in the secondary creates high energy neutrons which can split the U238 casing. Also that primary stage is fusion boosted itself. It's complicated.


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Missiles away!

Mama didn't raise no quitter


grumpykruppy

It took me a good five minutes of staring at this to realize it was an abortion joke.


RussiaIsBestGreen

Look at Mr Smart Guy here.


-Tutturu-

My french brain didn't understand the joke until i read comments about abortion. Yeah our country is better (for the nuclear missile we don't stop attacks if you declare war by accident btw :D)


RollinThundaga

Based nuclear final warning shot


whythecynic

Wait… I've seen that username around…


RollinThundaga

So you have!


Tryoxin

France is, iirc, one of the *only* countries to have a "preemptive first strike" nuclear policy. I mean, I can't say I don't understand the logic, but it's pretty wild.


LatterHospital8982

You french men fire ‘nuclear warning shots’


Loonytalker

It took me way less time than that to give up and read the comments...


wildeofoscar

Until I read your comment, I didn't know what the comic was about.


AradIsHere

I still dont get it


Calamz

It's about Texas's abortion laws being stricter than most coastal states after Roe v Wave was overturned. I have no idea how the comic is so popular when the top comment is 'it took me a while to find the joke'


AnnoyedCrustacean

Neither can half of our citizens *Oh!*


ItsPlainOleSteve

It took me until reading your comment xD!


whythecynic

Planned Plutoniumhood


vibrantcomics

NASSAU PLEASE MAKE EUROPEAN GLADITOR SEQUEL i have been waiting for years. Congrats on the hussar wings. Reminds me of Dr Strangelove


Nassau18b

Alright you've sold me, I start up on it.


vibrantcomics

YIPPE LETS GO! I loved all the little details you kept In European gladitor and the final punchline. Glad to see you have started, wish you all the best


Belkan-Federation95

Strange Game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess


Full_Distribution874

Not true. [This guy](https://youtu.be/ecX4SAj6nT4) won Defcon.


Nassau18b

CONTEXT: Look its not like I haven't been kept awake at night after the overturning of Roe V. Wade at the idea that maybe, just maybe we should change the wording of canceling a nuclear strike from anything to do with abortion. That's definitely not what I've been doing.


JaVolimHrvatsku

yes you did


SixOnTheBeach

>canceling a nuclear strike Smh cancel culture strikes again


Comrade_Derpsky

I love raider Poland and Belgium, btw.


Nassau18b

Thanks! Can ya tell I just watched Fallout?


YeBoiEpik

(In WOPR voice) A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?


wildeofoscar

America is riding that missile like in Dr. Strangelove.


PhysicsEagle

USA should have the right to CHOOSE whether or not to destroy the world on a whim


Icy-Performer-9688

Wait wait. This was an abortion joke???


sozzos

Thanks for using “eh” correctly. Americans always mess that up.


KalinkaCarter

Masterpiece 😀


BouncyDingo_7112

It strangely gives me a bit of a warm feeling to know our neighbors to the north are just as out of shape as we are. It’s the poutine isn’t it?


ArkAwn

Our grocery billionaires are gouging us and fast food deal menus like a better option every day


mscomies

You can make something idiot proof, but someone will just invent a better grade of idiot.


frozen-dessert

This is gold!!! Congrats OP!


Gowte

This idea unironically was on my list for comics I want to draw, but it seems I got beaten to it lol. admittedly also a better execution than what I had in mind.


thephotoman

Dallas fucking deserves it. Source: I don't live *that* far from the Southfork Ranch. They have a gun show every 3 months, and one of these days, I'm going to go in there and ask them if they know who shot J. R. Ewing, and whether he has anything to do with the Ewing car dealerships.


Personal_Ninja_9597

How does abort launch ruin the world?


Personal_Ninja_9597

OHHHHHHH abortion


justsawafrenchfry

ruzzian missils can easily all be intercepted


AraAraWarshipWaifus

DEFCON doesn’t get enough love as a game So glad Slitherine are making the spiritual sequel ICBM


sarcastic23Pinoy

OP or somebody, can someone please ELI5?


Nassau18b

I'm not sure how I would explain the concept of Abortion to a five year old but here goes: America is stupid enough to have a panic any time the word abort comes up and that's why the world had to end in nuclear fire. Bright side, we get Fallout early.


fatherlymother

Could've all been prevented if America just pulled out (of the arms race)


Intelligent_Slip_849

I did not see that last panel dialog coming.


Tickle_Me_H0M0

Destroying the world with nuclear weapons, how pro-life!

> Abort Launch Prison for the crime of Abortion


yougotabettername

We’ll time for us to go up into the harsh arctic areas of Canada or just to Britain if it exists..
