Some of you may already know this picture :

However, a part of the game is missing. The game is not only about scissors and paper, there is also rock. And if Hitler is paper while Churchill is scissors, who could be rock among people living at the same time ?

Maybe him :

Then, the rock-paper-scissors game of the twentieth century becomes :
- Jesse Owens : rock
- Adolf Hitler : paper
- Winston Churchill : scissors

As the rules of the game are the ones everyone knows, as J. Owens incarnates the black power and his consequences (or his future) in general, as A. Hitler incarnates totalitarianism and his consequences (or his future) in general, as W. Churchill incarnates democraty and his future in general...

We get an ironical, and a bit freaky, result.

Strange, huh ?

Of course, the United States is the Nuclear Bomb that beats everything except another Nuclear Bomb, in which case, both lose.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this? Could you possibly rephrase it in simpler terms. Are you basically saying the game goes from Rock, Paper, Scissors to Black Power, Totalitarianism, and Democracy? How exactly do these interrelate?
