Well, I don't think that it has anything to do with expensive gee-gaws.

There's a popular button slogan in the anti-war crowd: "take the toys from
the boys", a reference to nuclear missles and the military.

Couple this with the notation of non-winnable nuclear war and the rising number
of weapons in the world, and the concept of overkill.
   Immediately, the (cynical) joke becomes obvious. In a war of over-kill, the
country with the most nuclear weapons left over wins, no matter what happens to
all the people.

Somehow, these things loose something in the translation.
