True enemy is really war itself, that is why the USA and the old USSR could never directly attack one another. Some even say that real peace can only be achieved in a nuclear world. When everyone has the potential to destroy one another in a blink of an eye or with the press of a button, suddenly no one wants to fuck with each other. USA and China for example will never go to war, not directly at least.

@kanguesso

That is very true. And the biggest enemy of all is a nuclear war. A kind of war where there is no winner and every one is a loser.

if you stop and think for a second this scene is really deep

[lokoyizone]

But this film was actually inspired by a true event which happened on a Russian submarine in the 1960's.

@Naoumish Valid point but where does that leave the US being that it is still the only nation in the history of Mankind to have used not only one but 2 atomic Bombs on a city full of Civilians? Oh but then again they were Japanese Civilians so that does not count. That does not really qualify the US as a terrorist nation.

[DaBadLieutenant]

hackman is so perfect in this scene.

@kanguesso Nuclear deterrence only works on the assumption that the parties involved are actually concerned for the well-being of their "own" population, and in "this" world. It's not difficult to think of examples of the most sadistic regimes that easily defy this - you need only look as far as North Korea to find a state that is all too comfortable with its people in abject suffering, or Islamic terrorists, who are more than willing to kill fellow muslims even, given a belief in an afterlife.

Why does it sound like this scene could easily be a conversation between Romney/Gingrich vs. Obama regarding Iran?

In a nuclear world, the true enemy, which cannot be destroyed, is indeed war itself...

@lokoyizone The world was so much simpler during the Cold War, eh?

we have seen the enemy and he is us. and he is ugly.

Westergard and Zimmer are on NCIS now.

War is the enemy... once it starts rolling, it feeds on itself and is sometimes impossible to stop...
