Even the most deranged people refuse to turn the world into ashes. I wonder how long it will last.

wdym? if the opponent breaks the pact you can retaliate on your way out. it's achieved near universal cooperation because it's the strongest guarantee of mutually assured destruction yet discovered. just basic game theory

it will fail the instant any truly suicidal group takes the helm

ive always thought if you were crazy enough you could get away with one at a time because the other party would be to afraid
