The "MAD" (Mutually Assured Destruction) military philosophy is portrayed sardonically as each side guarantees that the other will be checked by the fear of meeting the same fate as one's enemies but in the film the "Russkis" trump the US with the "Doomsday Device" since they can't keep up with the "Missile Gap" .
The 1964 movie was "Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)."In the movie, the doomsday device was a device designed to automatically destroy all of civilization if the country (in this case the USSR) were to be attacked. Similar to the theory of "Mutual Assured Destruction" (MAD), it was supposed to discourage any attack. Of course, it also meant that no lesser response was available other than self-annihilation.The actual device consisted of buried nuclear weapons with a shell of "Cobalt-Thorium G" (a fictional analog of tampers producing radioactive cobalt-60) -- when automatically set off, they would create a worldwide layer of deadly fallout, killing all humans and all life on the surface, a so-called "doomsday shroud." The only way for anyone to survive would be to hide in deep underground caves for 100 years until the level of radiation lessened.
Rest assured means to be certain, to rest easy in the knowledge that, or to be consoled that the mentioned fact or circumstance is true. It has become such a popular idiom that many companies use it in their slogans such as Rest Assured System, and Rest Assured MC.
Rest Assured. This is yours for the taking, but if it is used I would love to hear about it.

Mutually Assured Destruction made sure that both the United States and Russia were too scared to launch their nuclear munitions at one another (no matter how much they'd like to).
I believe this is called Mutually Assured Destruction.
