Of course the American's have a nuclear weapon double-key launch system. Which means that no weapon can be launched without two people agreeing.
Except that (if you watch Dr Strangelove) someone one was concerned that it was possible for a retaliotory strike not to be made under certain conditions, and then it's too late to reply (United Nations won't allow a premed strike, only reasonable retaliation).
So "Plan R" provides for a total short-circuit and allows one individual the right to launch without warning.
Now whom might that be?
And as the sands-of-time tick away, the desire to launch grows. Imagine if Hilary got in, then she would have this god-given right. Obviously being a woman she would probably go shopping for candles instead.
McCain's a good man. He would understand what "Plan R" is for.
We need a man who can launch.
And then obviously we expect him to simply sit back and have a cup of tea.
