What is it that the ambassador pulls out at the very end of the film; before total destruction?

Diva is right. It is a spy camera. After all that hullabaloo over letting a Russian into the war room, he takes the opportunity to take spy photos (even though they're now useless).
Hilarious to watch. Boring to describe.

Pointless? I think it just further reinforces the level of insanity the two sides had reached during the cold war. Even after they had just managed to "destroy" the world, they were still fighting.

there is also a huge commotion earlier from Scott about letting the russian into the room (he'll see the big board!) and at one point i belief Scott does claim he was taking a picture or something. the situation is defused and the end shows that he was spying.

Fret not, this joker is not representative of all youngsters. I'm 19, and to paraphrase Mariel Hemingway in Manhattan, I am aware of cultural events pre-Mario.
Dr. Strangelove is a riot, btw. And I actually just rewatched Lolita today, a more underrated comedy, Isamu, please don't let the black and white put you off - some movies look even better that way.
