The Nuclear Football is a black briefcase, the contents of which is to be used by the President of the United States of America to authorize a nuclear attack while away from fixed command centers, such as the White House Situation Room.
A replica of this was gifted to India when we bought a billion dollar worth C-17 aircrafts from Russia in 2002.Since then it is handed over to the prime minister or the puppet man/woman(party president) after each election. As we have several internal strikes like poverty, corruption and separate state to worry about, forgetting about the nuclear strikes this briefcase is being used to store the CBI's database passwords.
Since then the CBI has the only information the party in power provides them with and they have to wait for the opposition to come to power to work on the current party scams.
