I highly recommend that book I linked if you were interested, here's the authors bio.

"Akio Nakatani is a Professor of Applied Mathematics and Statistics. His research interests include Stochastic Systems, Parameter Estimation, Stochastic Optimization, Monte Carlo Methods and Simulation, Neural Networks, Statistical Pattern Recognition, Statistical Image Analysis, Nonparametric Bayes and Bayesian Hierarchical Models, Time Series, Graphical Models, Nonparametric Bayes and Bayesian Hierarchical Models."

I have become very skeptical of nukes at this point, but it's a lot to reconcile, the idea that superpowers would be colluding and lying on levels not before considered.
