But we're talking about a piece of pretty heavy artillery here, a nuclear submarine meant to kill people, wholesale. Now, I didn't set the stage for that, someone else did.

As far as the methods and the means of the former SovBlock countries goes, I lived in Poland before the fall of the wall for a while and it taught me a lot. For one it taught me how the people in a country like that are to some extent complicit by refusing to stand up for their fellow man when it matters.

The Nazis, the Soviets they were pretty bad in their days. But don't overlook the small detail that we today are pretty bad in many other ways, and we are also complicit.

We should remember, I'm very much in favor of that. So lets work to create a world in which weapons such as this will be reminders of the period that will hopefully be called 'the crazy years' when looked back at from some arbitrary point in the future.

But don't confuse the engineer with the puppet master. Those guys did their jobs to the best of their ability, what pressures were used to make them do their jobs are not part of that story. In fact, I can feel some sympathy for an engineer producing a work like that under duress, but I can find very little sympathy for someone doing that just for money.
