You bet on quantity, I prefer quality. That's the main difference between us.
Since I look into the future, I had had my weapon of mass distraction modernized and redesigned to better address the upcoming challenges of the modern, fast-paced and changing world. It was recognized as an urgent priority.
The main issue with the Bomb was its fear-inducing nature, so we had to face the question how to make it more human-friendly and how to change public reception of it and make it more socially ergonomic. We made polls which suggested that the public opinion of the Bomb is generally negative. In fact the most frequent answer to the question "Would you like to be targeted by the atomic strike?" went out of scope of the questionnaire options ('yes', 'no', 'I don't know'), with many people tending to utter vulgar expressions or even calling the poll maker 'nuts' (!).
This had to be tackled and changing the PR of the Bomb was one of the most important and difficult tasks our team of experts ever undertook. But soon it appeared that making cheerful songs playing along with the Bomb's fearsome thunder, movies in which the Bomb was the prime suspense spice and placing the Bomb on the pedestal of the topmost human achievement did not work as good as it was supposed to do.
After long deliberations we concluded that only the radical option will work. 'We cannot by all odds make people love something that is likely to bring down death and destruction on them '- one expert claimed. And although others argued that this does not necessarily have to be true, giving the example of some drugs of abuse, political movements and religions, the assembly of scientists and strategists agreed that there is only one quick way to achieve the rapid change of attitudes towards the weapon discussed. So, we transformed it by removing all the components which were likely to cause all sorts of unpleasant experiences among people targeted by its explosions, and replacing them by enticing and pleasurable content: instead of the deadly plutonium core, we put inside the mighty wool charge, allowing the victims of the blast to get the most delightful charge out of it people ever suffered.
We upgraded it from "A" to "W" level in just one simple move. Thus we replaced the obsolete concept of "hard power" by the more human-friendly "soft power", which sometimes turns out to be even harder and more powerful. Rainbow-irradiated environment, albeit also toxic, is by far more tolerable than the one contaminated with the products of nuclear fission.
And now enjoy the new WMD** and have fun.
