"No, sir! It is not a thing a sane man would do." Ironically, in the novel "Red Alert" (the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove"), the "Doomsday Machine" was controlled by humans, not a computer.

The "Dead Hand" concept encompasses only the automatic launching of the land-based strategic rocket force in case the Soviet leadership was decapitated. It isn't a true Strangelovian "Doomsday Machine" because it doesn't have the capability of causing the extinction of human life.
i love the line: as you know, the premier loves surprises.
