You fire back to teach people the importance of not firing in the first place. People will never do something in the benefit of others if it isn't also benefiting them some way. Also, humans wouldn't deserve to live if they disregarded life on such an enormous magnitude over something as trivial as land, power or ideals.

And then kill them just to make sure they learned their lesson ;)

The question I would ask is ... does the USSR's firing of missiles show that humanity has degraded to such a extent that the world would be better without us? Or would it be better to sacrifice ourselves in the hope that the half of humanity left will yet conquer its evil?

I would ramp up spending on the Star Wars Defense---Right now.

Other than that, I would send a nuck up Stalin's butt and then grab a chopper out of there.

Assuming humanity survives, the USSR will be able to run rampant, unopposed across the globe.

The Soviets are capable of building more nuclear weapons and have shown the resolve to completely obliterate other nations.

Well, s**t, this is a catch-22 from hell isn't it. I'd say fire. If the predictions of nuclear winter are accurate, the Russians would have basically destroyed all life on the planet anyway. If the predictions are wrong, then the surviving nations shouldn't have to welcome the USSR as their new overlords.

TO unite the entire earth under one flag is impossible to maintain, let alone hard to get.

Better a quick death, than a slow agonizing one from starvation.

the USSR has enough warheads as to cause a decade of nuclear winter!

would you rather watch your child starve in front of you.. or hold them and perish together?

I would strike back, and pray to god everyone went at once, and no one needlessly suffered.
