First chance you get, knock out Europe. They'd be the biggest threat.

Thing about Europe is, we can kill them quite easily, but they can kill us... pretty easily as well. Knocking them out ASAP is fine as long as we can do so without retaliation, but I feel like there's quite a large risk that once we start sending bombers and missiles at them, they'll decide to respond in kind.

As such, I'd actually favor an alliance with them. They'll act as a buffer zone, and it'll make them less likely to nuke us. Though failing that alliance, probably destroying them all would be best.

I was hoping we could ally with Eu

Here is a decision chart:
1. Set n=number of enemies+1 Goto 2
2. Are you playing a deranged clone of yourself? If yes set n=n*2 then goto 3. If no go to 3.
3. Set number of nukes required to destroy everybody on earth to l. Goto 4.
4. Set current number of nukes to m. Goto 5
5. Does n*l=m? If yes first go to 7. If no go to 6.
6. Build nukes. Goto 4.
7. First strike everyone.

Shouldn't it be n*m=l?

Other than that, I approve. Sort of. And I'd be interested to see how you handle a chess game.

Nope. You'll leave yourself open to second strikes.
I play chess extreme styles.
