Angela Merkel miffed at Nuclear war game
The game is a computer based test designed to check leaders' efficiencies
The Hague: German Chancellor Angela Merkel did not enjoy what other leaders did at the ongoing nuclear security summit in The Netherlands — a ‘nuclear war game’.
The German chancellor grumbled at being asked to play games and take tests with the Prime Minister, US and Chinese presidents around a table with dozens of heads of state at a nuclear summit in The Hague, the report said.
The nuclear war game was a computer test based on the scenario that if an atomic bomb was to hit any of their metropolitan cities what steps would they take — would they inform the people or would they accede to the demands of the terrorist organisation?
US President Barack Obama helped make the game and the test was also aimed at being impulsive and without the aid of any advisers. In a competitive environment, with a ticking clock, the leaders had to make rapid choices before the results were presented to the group, anonymously stripped of their identities and followed by discussion.
