Great post.

Don't worry Balin, we all know you're not an idiot. You're just the devil in a crude disguise. What's with the upside-down 666?

The only Strangelove thing I've seen is where Homer rides the nuclear bomb in The Simpsons (The Cat Burglar episode). But I don't think that complete destruction of the world is what either Sauron or Saruman wanted. They simply wanted everything under their domination and control. They would not have wanted everything completely uninhabitable, at least not uninhabitable by Orcs (and perhaps in Saruman's case men as well).
