Of course. Planning for contingencies is a military's job. So your first statement is common knowledge. Also common knowledge is the fact that we didn't invade before NK had nukes. So, no, these nukes are not the deterrent that you think they are.
It's a truism in the military that the mark of a good officer is when, in an emergency, the officer makes a decision, any decision (whether or not it is wrong) quickly. It's said that any displayed indecision will destroy the morale and cohesiveness of the group.
I've seen this applied to civilian activities, too.
Perhaps they will filter, only allowing characters that enhance communication regarding human languages. I expect that there should be certain ascii ranges that will provide most of the flexibility.

We *were* going to invade. Without a doubt. Instead, millions of lives were saved, and Japan saved itself to rebuild for another day.
But let's play alt-history here: 1) Let's say that the coup the day before the surrender had worked. The warrior caste remained in power, therefore no surrender. 2) Soviets were invading. The cold war starts here, only its hot. 3) We use Japan as a hot war proxy. 4) ???
Do we lay slag to Japan because it won't surrender? Do we lay slag to Japan to stop the Soviets? Or do we invade with thousands of our boys to fight an enraged populace? To fight another superpower?

Looks like the program was saved. A lot of public pressure on congress, especially from grunts.

Yeah, I watched that Bond movie, too. I was pretty impressed.
I agree that the panic caused by an event in the middle of a city would get quite a reaction.

As a world, I expect that we spend a lot more money on preparing films as we do on preparation for asteroid strikes.

Yeah , to hell with people. Money rules!
Only simpletons think it's good to be told what to do by do-gooder busybodies who arrogantly feel they know what's best for everyone.
Like various AC's on this board?
Thank you. I had run out of things to waste time on the internet.
...in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
Ouch. Let's remember the saying of St. Adams, though...
"if life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion."
You know, Douglas Adams devoted a couple pages to exactly this.
Spoiler: the universe is empty.
"The thing about such models is that they're mainly useful in generating research questions than making predictions. "
+1 insightful, I'd say.
But, what if Allah doesn't will it?
Then you didn't lop enough heads off.
thank you lord
I, for one, welcome our new Unicode overlords.

cars and light trucks get around 23 mpg, so let's say 20 mpg average
So that was dishonestly rounded up.
Only as dishonest as you make them seem.
That's what I was thinking. Pulls some numbers out of his ass then claims "dishonesty".
OTOH, maybe Poe. If so, kudos to GP.
"Obama has made sure they are in a lose lose situation"
So, I guess now we can get rid of that old "Obama got Osama" meme. Although "Obama got Scalia" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Well...National *Aeronautics* and Space Administration.

No.
