Joe Biden Reportedly Orders U.S. Forces to Prepare for Possible Coordinated Nuclear Confrontations with Russia, China, and North...
A report this afternoon is raising eyebrows and alarming Americans over the possibility of a massive global war less than three months before the general election.
Scott Ritter reported today (on Redacted & his own podcast) that Russia is ready to light up a few Western allies of Ukraine over the Kursk invasion, and dare the US to respond. Apparently Putin has finally reached his limit.
well this could be the precipice truly..
The sight of Missile contrails leaving their silos and Nuclear Alarms blaring would probably be enough to get most of the world to collectively shit itself. Let alone the U.S. Especially since most countries have for the most part ceased to do anything to even try and protect the general Civilian population.
And while it’s never been explicitly confirmed. It’s believed most Nuclear Armed Countries maintain failsafes to either detonate them at a safe height or render Nuclear Munitions inert. In the event they are turned on the country who made them.
Hell change out the Warheads for conventional warheads or dummies. You still get the Pants shitting terror. In the General Population and many Military Personnel. It would certainly be a scare event. Even if the risk of Nuclear exchange was non-existent.
I don't think you understand nuclear combat. The concern is not whether weapons are mistakenly launched. There are procedural and physical methods of preventing that. The concern is that the weapon may fail to launch. When ICBM missile crews are being examined psychologically, they are not looking for airmen who will launch a missile without command. They are looking for airmen who will FAIL to conduct a commanded launch.
But once the bird is on its way, there is no turning it back. They have no means of communication. (That was one of the motivations behind the development of inertial navigation, the prior alternative being command guidance during launch.) The closest we get to that is with the bomber force, which can be recalled after being flushed on alert. And which is a unique benefit of manned bombers.
"the bomber force, which can be recalled after being flushed on alert"
Except in Dr. Strangelove :-P.
I have no idea why you were downvoted.

I'm comfy as fuck how about you?
This is doctrine for nuclear defense posture, not orders for nuclear combat operations. If it updates every 4 years, it would be logical for it to be the last thing done in a presidential term of office.
