Excuse me. When have humans ever destroyed themselves? The answer is we haven’t. In our nature? No. In our nature to fight ourselves for supremacy, sure; what species doesn’t though? What development would we have without war? We wouldn’t. If we never fought eachother we would still be eating berries and living in mud huts.
I'm 64 years old (today, actually, 7/22/22). I retired from DOD two years ago.. I'm amazed at how casually, people, who should know better, talk about nuclear war with Russia. They are out of their freaking minds.
I couldn't agree with you more sir, it's so easy to Play a couch general. If they only knew how insane fast how things go from normal to hell on earth.
since its a casual topic in the russian state media where they casually threaten to nuke west, i guess the west must also consider first strike option, or would you rather wait for russia to realize their threats first? my town is on the nuke list by russia, and if im to die i would just like to know that russia will also be obliterated in such case
I don’t think it is any big mystery, I think it is just pretty simple, I think every country should just stay put and stay out of the others business. Nobody is going to win a WW3 nuclear war will solve nothing but destroying the earth an turning it in to mad max.
I was a medical doctor in the US Navy assigned to Marine Corps infantry units. I was fully trained in the medical effects of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. Your prayer should be "let me be at ground zero". You can't imagine how horrific surviving a nuclear strike would be.
Yep, if the time comes, I hope to be one of the first to go. I certainly don't want to live through the aftermath of full on nuclear or chemical warfare.
A group of us had this very discussion several years ago. After everyone declared what they'd do with myself as the last to say, I stated that I hope to be a casualty in the first seconds. Living in what was left would genuinely suck shortly afterwards.
@@andyindicator2947 When ever this topic comes up, it always reminds me of this comic/drawing I saw somewhere back in the 80's. It is of two guys in a boat on a lake fishing. Off in the distance you can see a large metropolitan skyline with a big mushroom cloud over it. One of the fisherman says" You know what this means? Size doesn't matter and screw the limit". Still makes me chuckle when I think about it.
I served 6 years, USN as an MT (Missile Technician, C3 Poseidon missile system) aboard boomers in the mid 80’s. We were responsible for every system (from flight control equipment, hydraulics, heating/cooling systems, every aspect from loading to close out) and I remember every time we drilled for launch how much weight everyone carried knowing what it meant if it were an actual launch. Knowing exactly what would come after, and knowing what the world would be like if we were to actually make it home. We all knew from extensive training exactly what these weapons would do, exactly how it performed when deployed from launch to detonation and the result, and I promise you it’s scarier than what you could possibly imagine. I also know that it’s a necessary weapon and I pray deterrence will still be enough to prevent an attack on US soil. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Contrary to movies and what most believe, there is no detonation button to blow it up in space. When it launches it will reach its targets with precision, and it will destroy everything in it path and would only take our sailors minutes to launch every one of them. Let’s pray we never have to. There’s no do overs.
The United States ICBM locations are common knowledge because they are used as a target for incoming missiles. The goal is to get an enemy to target the I icbm locations while still allowing many of our most valuable nuclear weapons free for the secondary attack or response attack. It's a diversion, It's essentially the world's most deadly and dangerous game of misdirection.
Those missile silos are all over in my corner of Colorado. They continue north into Nebraska, and South Dakota, and North Dakota. The crews that man them are housed close to their missile silos, and they must be very bored, because they have been witnessed doing some pretty wild and crazy shit in public. Let's just say I hope these guys aren't as high and drunk on duty as they are off duty. Otherwise we are all in deep kimchee.
These states are called "nuclear sponges". But this is an old cold war doctrine. Russia will not primarily target these regions. God bless innocent Russians and innocent Americans.
@@chrisberrios5857 In March 1947, reports appeared about an exchange that Einstein reportedly had with a group of friends at a dinner party: Professor Albert Einstein was asked by friends at a recent dinner party what new weapons might be employed in World War III. Appalled at the implications, he shook his head. After several minutes of meditation, he said. "I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn't any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV." "And what are those?" a guest asked. "Stone spears," said Einstein. The quote appears to be un-substantiated only rumored to be true by the third parties. My Brother 's name is Mark Howell BTW. Funny coincidence!
I live and work by Barksdale AFB and constantly have B52s flying over they are really big and it’s kinda scary to think one single bomb could destroy the whole city
I caution against having remote functionality in the silos. I don't think security of China should be too lax, but it also shouldn't be too easy for Ai to launch nukes at China. There also needs to be consideration of skynet Ai using presidential deepfakes and clones. Proactive not reactive.
Ppl thinks some ppl will still be having family picnics during war time. Human nature will always be about revenge. Think twice. No one wins eventually.
This is the most scariest thing I have ever watched seriously. The situation is very grim when u think about it. Truth is, humanity doesn’t need to engage with this behavior.
Just a reminder. It took humans less time to advance our weapons from the refined sword to the nuke then it took to go from the broad sword to the refined sword.
Well, I don't know what would be considered refined in this context, but swords were still used as military weapons in 1800s commonly in most advanced countries of the time. There has certainly been some change in overral military capabilities since then.
Well that's how it is right now, and it's more likely now than at any time from 1947 to 1991 with the possible exception of the bay of pigs event, so you don't need to be old to remember it being highly likely.
We still have our family "fallout shelter" in Florida. I remember atomic bomb drills every week in school.

In the nuclear world the true enemy is war is man he is and will all ways be greedy if the world was run by women the world would be better off they are more smarter
The point is to NOT keep your nuclear capabilities secret. The only way to prevent and deter a nuclear attack on your country is if the enemy knows full well they will never be able to nullify enough of your nuclear arsenal to where you'd not be able to completely destroy them in a retaliatory strike.
It's actually advantageous for a country's nuclear capability to be known as it is mostly a deterrent weapon. The more scared other countries are, the better!
as an American I've traveled abroad quite a bit and have found people everywhere to be friendly for the most part and have always been treated with respect and got along very well with foreigners its sad that a handful of greedy politicians has the power to determine the fate of all of us
Do you know who they get that power from? There is not one politician in this country that wasn't granted their position by the will of the people. It is a privilege to be a president, senator, or congressman not a right. There is a way to strip them of that power but there's a small but substantial portion of America that believes voting against their own interests is a better policy instead of a livable wage.
Aegis BMD is an expansion of the Aegis Combat System deployed on warships, designed to intercept ballistic missiles in post-boost phase and prior to reentry. Aegis BMD-equipped vessels can engage potential threats using the Standard Missile 3 mid-course interceptors and the Standard Missile 2 and Standard Missile 6 terminal-phase interceptors.[3
Yes, there is. Compromise your enemy's nuclear command and control, then incite violence in their own country. While they are in chaos, destroy them in a massive nuclear first strike so completely that they cannot retaliate. This is how things will actually play out and how the US will fall.
I was airborne radar aboard the AWACS during the Iranian /Iraqi war and the cold war with Russia. Most don't know that Russia used their Bear bombers to supply Cuba. So every 2-4 weeks these bombers would fly along our eastern seaboard on their way to Cuba. I can say this much, there was many times for the potential for WWIII to start during this time. We do not want to go into another cold war with a nuclear powered country.
Nuclear war really brings an unthinkable amount of firepower for humanity to use against each other. If there is ever an extinction even again, it will be because of us.
It feels like it's imminent now. I'm in Canada so will probably die from the fallout/radiation, unfortunately. I rather just be in the center of that blast radius and call it a day. What an absolutely insane world we live in.

It'll certainly make a difference to the weather forecast; _"Well we're in for some warm blustery conditions tomorrow, top temperatures around the 2 million degree centigrade mark, gusts of upto 25000 mph._ _"But a bit of a change on Saturday, temperatures dropping right back down to nearly absolute zero -270⁰C, temperatures remaing in this region for the next 20-30 years._ _"So if you are going out this weekend, do wrap up warm."_ 🙂
That question at the beginning, "Could the United States win a global thermonuclear war?" overlooks the whole underlying truth, that being that NOBODY wins a global thermonuclear war.
It needn't be global. If our biggest 10 cities were nuked, the USA would be fatally destroyed. No electrical grid, no water or food distribution, etc. Actually, it would take less than that: two pulse bombs over the US would take down the grid and within a year 90% of the population would be dead. Russia would require more than two pulse bombs, being an enormous land mass. China probably would be cooked with just two.
@@tonybigalow3236 The US had "hypersonic" missiles back in the 1960s - and abandoned the idea as they were too easy to track and destroy. You can't do "nape of earth" with them, they don't maneuver well enough.
@@tonybigalow3236 All ICBMs are hypersonic. Stop confusing HGVs with ICBM’s. ICBMs are faster than Russia and China’s fastest HGVs. Hypersonic Glide Vehicles are just another convoluted way to get their nuclear payload onto a target. Trident II’s are still vastly uncontested and much faster.
I remember practicing drills when I was a kid in school in the event of a nuclear/other attack from a foreign adversary. Looking back, it was kind of a joke... like pretending you're not going to be affected by it as long as you either duck under your desk, or get marched down to the bomb shelter. It used to upset a lot of kids, that unknowing feeling, because it was a regular topic of conversation for everyone. And it should upset people... still today. There's no running and hiding from such attacks and surviving. If you're in a designated location by the enemy... just kiss and say "goodbye". I hate war with a passion, and I'm a proud veteran. The possibility of countries throwing tantrums and murdering one another aren't that unrealistic today. Not now.
You're missing the point. People think it doesn't, but duck and cover actually works and yes you SHOULD be prepared to duck even under a desk. What you're missing here is that of course it doesn't work at ground zero, obviously there's nothing you can do at ground zero. But what if you're 10 miles away? Then hiding behind a desk can save your life. Go look up stock photos of Hiroshima victims. There was a woman whose floral pattern dress was burned into her skin. The places where the cloth was thicker, protected her skin, and where it was thinner, she got burned, essentially leaving her with a tattoo of the pattern of her dress. If 1 mm vs 2 mm thick cloth can make the difference between being burned and not being burned, you better believe hiding under a desk can save you.... IF you're at the right distance.
I told my wife that the mask for COVID 19 is the same thing as diving under your desk in the event of a nuclear war. It just gives you something to do. No protection at all just to make the leaders look good. It has proven that I was right.
Many people that were far enough away from the epicenter, or protected enough from the blast to not get burned still died within months or a year to two from disease. If you’re going to be anywhere near a nuclear blast, just hope that it lands square over your head so you don’t have to witness or feel anything is all I can say.

You think this is risky try growing up when I did in the 50s 60s 70s 80s. I have to admit that I find it very dangerous that we have people like China and Russia traveling to clear savers this is a very bad thing
I am 72, a former Marine w/2 tours in Viet Nam. I recall how stunned I was when Ronald Reagan made the statement in ('84-'85?) that we could fight and survive a "Limited Nuclear War". May be on paper, but board games are printed on paper, not realism.
I'm glad you made it home after 2 tours. A lot of Marines didn't, and we didn't make it easy for those of you who did. Anyway, I think that statement was in 1983. That was Reagan's Cold War crazy year ("We begin bombing in five minutes," "Evil empire," Pershing II's and cruise missiles in West Germany, Abel Archer, SDI, rhetoric around KAL-007 - I know I'm forgetting a few items...). That was my senior year in high school (83-84). Reagan had the world rattled into quite a state - we didn't do duck & cover drills, but all students had to go through a curriculum covering what an expected nuclear exchange would look like, how our town would be affected, how many evacuees from the cities would likely descend upon our small town (>100k), and how many sick , injured, and dying would likely show up at our 20-bed hospital (>50k), etc. Reagan became a lot less hawkish and crazy with our nukes from 1984 on. Part of that was a private screening he had in the White House of The Day After. He wrote about it in his diary (now public), saying he had no idea what nuclear war actually meant - words to that effect. The next year, for the first time, he personally spoke with the Soviet premier, Constantine Chernenko, by phone. Of course Chernenko died right away, but he was replaced by Gorbachev, and I think we all remember how he and Reagan became friends, and even partners in disarmament. I learned very recently exactly how drastically they cut the arsenals of both countries - nearly 90% by the time the treaties were in full force. We've been rebuilding our stockpiles slowly ever since, but as a lifelong Democrat, I can think of no one in our government who has done more to reduce our nuclear stockpiles and to make nuclear war less likely than Ronald Reagan - AFTER 1983. I REALLY did not like him as president, but I have to give him credit for this one, extremely important achievement of his.

Very interesting. In the late 70's I was stationed at a SAC base in northern Maine (Loring AFB). According to Wikipedia, Loring had the largest stockpile of nukes in the continental US. We had nine B-52's on 24 hour alert. They were loaded to the max with fuel and nukes. To reach the USSR, the bombers would essentially fly over the north pole. From the US it was the shortest route. For this reason, we were told that Loring was the 2nd highest priority for attack if a nuclear war broke out between the US and the USSR. Of course, Washington DC was priority one.
@@chaskaabraxas5314 As a lowly Staff Sergeant (E5), I did not get to sit in on those strategic planning meetings. I'm assuming they did not want to put "all their eggs in one basket". I think Loring was shut down sometime in the eighties or nineties.
I was stationed at Loring, 73 thru 75. I loved it, sportsman’s Paradise. I got stationed there on my return from Vietnam. Lots of great memories from there, the people I met and got to know, both military and civilian were great.
Nothing classified here that Russia, China, France and perhaps Israel don't already know, because they have to. You never want to take the risk that your enemies, and even friends, can ever get the nuclear drop on you. Friends can become enemies and enemies your friends in political alliances over night. To do or assume otherwise is living in a fool's paradise, happily oblivious to ever-changing world events and situations.
There is a 0% chance that there aren’t top-secret nuclear missile silos across the country. Like a country would just openly allow everyone to know where the most powerful weapons on the planet are kept lol
Nuclear weapons and systems are the kind you want your enemy to see and know about, that's part of the deterrent. The USA does not even block the arsenal locations on google maps, if you know where to look you can zoom right in on the most secret places you can imagine. Same in Russia, if you know where to look their stuff is right out in the open.
Hiding a silo is doable. Hiding the people who work there, the nukes and their missiles transiting to there and probably some other factors (like supplying a unique component or fuel used for said nukes/missiles) may not be...
I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming next to FE Warren Air Force Base in the heart of ICBM country. Visitors can explore an exact replica of an ICBM in its silo. Strong feelings of bellicose patriotism, immediately gave way to fear and dread when I touched the replica warhead. Looking down into the silo is equally terrifying. It’s about 60 ft/18m tall. Roughly the length of a common tractor trailer (lori). I imagined the screaming raw power of the fuel burning as I looked into the maw of the bell housing after taking the stairs to see the engines, Not gonna lie, It made me feel a little dizzy. Next stop, an exact replica of a command center. There’s not really a big red button, the launch sequence involves the president and is fairly complicated. In the end it takes two soldiers to turn two keys simultaneously. We actually got to turn the replica keys. That actually made my stomach turn a little bit. I now have a deeper understanding and respect for the term dead dead!

My best friend was in the airforce and he went nuts in the silos. There are 2 sets of keys, and the airmen with those keys are escorted around base. He went into a form of mental decline and showed me the keys when he was on leave, this was 30 years ago. He was never supposed to have them off base. I had no idea how he got them off without turning them in. He was a staff nco and got out of the airforce. He is a total recluse today.

If anyone doesn’t know, the reason why American solo locations are disclosed is so the enemy as to decide if they want to nuke a solo or a city which saves lives
That may be part of it but the major reason is because the Nuclear treaties, that the US and Russia signed, back in the 80’s, required them to show each others silo locations and bombers to be more transparent with each other about what their capabilities were.
Once the United States not only had it, but demonstrated it was willing to use it, the Soviet Union really had no choice but to develop their own. The deterrent worked. We have not had a world war between the United States and Russia despite their being the two superpowers.
Incredibly, there are actually countries that have conducted two types of nuclear tests in urban areas, which even Russia has not done. That too after victory was confirmed.
And it's the people who will suffer, not those that got us to the point of nuclear war. The ones that start the war will be safely nestled into their bunkers with their families while the rest of us burn.
Well since they left out the B1 Lancers at Dyess and Ellsworth I’d say that you’re correct. If there’s ever a nuclear war, most of us won’t have to worry about surviving. I’m about 8 miles from Nellis AFB in Las Vegas.

@@SkinE-Vadee-VeecheeWhat makes you think the country which started most of the wars around the world in the last half century and dropped the only two nuclear bombs ever in human history will be the passive party?
What's always missing from these types of videos is the all important political goals of each side. No one wants nuclear war, which is why we haven't had one in 70 years. The primary goal would be to limit the damage done to one's side. Other political goals would be relevant and deserve analysis. But the reason for targeting cities for example would be to dissuade the other side from hitting your cities. Theoretically this should be quite possible. Theoretically it should be possible to keep a war limited, if each side could keep control of their forces. But of course, things don't always go according to plan, especially in war.
Limited nuclear war is a fiction. If the 10 most populous cities in the US were nuked, and nothing else, the USA would still be FATALLY destroyed. Think about it. No power grid, no water supply, no distribution of food, etc. 90% of the population would be dead within a year.
And I also believe the idea of mutually assured destruction is a bit of a paradox because if someone was to use nuclear weapons against another, those individuals would still be considering that concept and how their retaliatory actions could further escalate towards the destruction of everything. It’s not assured that the response to a nuclear attack will be a nuclear attack because the paradigm that has prevented nuclear exchanges is still in effect.
I guess the Terminator had it right all along... "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"
And it's ... "more than meets the eye 👁️" from the transformers.
Excuse me. When have humans ever destroyed themselves? The answer is we haven’t. In our nature? No. In our nature to fight ourselves for supremacy, sure; what species doesn’t though?
What development would we have without war? We wouldn’t. If we never fought eachother we would still be eating berries and living in mud huts.

I served 6 years, USN as an MT (Missile Technician, C3 Poseidon missile system) aboard boomers in the mid 80’s. We were responsible for every system (from flight control equipment, hydraulics, heating/cooling systems, every aspect from loading to close out) and I remember every time we drilled for launch how much weight everyone carried knowing what it meant if it were an actual launch. Knowing exactly what would come after, and knowing what the world would be like if we were to actually make it home. We all knew from extensive training exactly what these weapons would do, exactly how it performed when deployed from launch to detonation and the result, and I promise you it’s scarier than what you could possibly imagine. I also know that it’s a necessary weapon and I pray deterrence will still be enough to prevent an attack on US soil. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Contrary to movies and what most believe, there is no detonation button to blow it up in space. When it launches it will reach its targets with precision, and it will destroy everything in it path and would only take our sailors minutes to launch every one of them. Let’s pray we never have to. There’s no do overs.

After several minutes of meditation, he said. "I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn't any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV."
"And what are those?" a guest asked.
"Stone spears," said Einstein. The quote appears to be un-substantiated only rumored to be true by the third parties. My Brother 's name is Mark Howell BTW. Funny coincidence!

This is a mild children's story.
Just a reminder.
It took humans less time to advance our weapons from the refined sword to the nuke then it took to go from the broad sword to the refined sword.
now the future
Well, I don't know what would be considered refined in this context, but swords were still used as military weapons in 1800s commonly in most advanced countries of the time. There has certainly been some change in overral military capabilities since then.
Those of us who grew up during the Cold War are old enough to remember when the idea of nuclear war with Russia far from "unthinkable."
Well that's how it is right now, and it's more likely now than at any time from 1947 to 1991 with the possible exception of the bay of pigs event, so you don't need to be old to remember it being highly likely.
I was 5 years old in October, 1962. Nuclear war came dreadfully close that Fall.
We still have our family "fallout shelter" in Florida. I remember atomic bomb drills every week in school.

The point is to NOT keep your nuclear capabilities secret.
The only way to prevent and deter a nuclear attack on your country is if the enemy knows full well they will never be able to nullify enough of your nuclear arsenal to where you'd not be able to completely destroy them in a retaliatory strike.
Vice versa
It's actually advantageous for a country's nuclear capability to be known as it is mostly a deterrent weapon. The more scared other countries are, the better!

Yes, there is. Compromise your enemy's nuclear command and control, then incite violence in their own country. While they are in chaos, destroy them in a massive nuclear first strike so completely that they cannot retaliate. This is how things will actually play out and how the US will fall.

I was airborne radar aboard the AWACS during the Iranian /Iraqi war and the cold war with Russia. Most don't know that Russia used their Bear bombers to supply Cuba. So every 2-4 weeks these bombers would fly along our eastern seaboard on their way to Cuba. I can say this much, there was many times for the potential for WWIII to start during this time. We do not want to go into another cold war with a nuclear powered country.

It'll certainly make a difference to the weather forecast;

_"But a bit of a change on Saturday, temperatures dropping right back down to nearly absolute zero -270⁰C, temperatures remaing in this region for the next 20-30 years._

That question at the beginning, "Could the United States win a global thermonuclear war?" overlooks the whole underlying truth, that being that NOBODY wins a global thermonuclear war.
Someone already won a nuclear war. USA vs. Japan.
It needn't be global. If our biggest 10 cities were nuked, the USA would be fatally destroyed. No electrical grid, no water or food distribution, etc. Actually, it would take less than that: two pulse bombs over the US would take down the grid and within a year 90% of the population would be dead. Russia would require more than two pulse bombs, being an enormous land mass. China probably would be cooked with just two.

I remember practicing drills when I was a kid in school in the event of a nuclear/other attack from a foreign adversary. Looking back, it was kind of a joke... like pretending you're not going to be affected by it as long as you either duck under your desk, or get marched down to the bomb shelter. It used to upset a lot of kids, that unknowing feeling, because it was a regular topic of conversation for everyone. And it should upset people... still today.
There's no running and hiding from such attacks and surviving. If you're in a designated location by the enemy... just kiss and say "goodbye". I hate war with a passion, and I'm a proud veteran. The possibility of countries throwing tantrums and murdering one another aren't that unrealistic today. Not now.
You're missing the point. People think it doesn't, but duck and cover actually works and yes you SHOULD be prepared to duck even under a desk. What you're missing here is that of course it doesn't work at ground zero, obviously there's nothing you can do at ground zero. But what if you're 10 miles away? Then hiding behind a desk can save your life. Go look up stock photos of Hiroshima victims. There was a woman whose floral pattern dress was burned into her skin. The places where the cloth was thicker, protected her skin, and where it was thinner, she got burned, essentially leaving her with a tattoo of the pattern of her dress. If 1 mm vs 2 mm thick cloth can make the difference between being burned and not being burned, you better believe hiding under a desk can save you.... IF you're at the right distance.
I told my wife that the mask for COVID 19 is the same thing as diving under your desk in the event of a nuclear war. It just gives you something to do. No protection at all just to make the leaders look good. It has proven that I was right.
Many people that were far enough away from the epicenter, or protected enough from the blast to not get burned still died within months or a year to two from disease. If you’re going to be anywhere near a nuclear blast, just hope that it lands square over your head so you don’t have to witness or feel anything is all I can say.

I am 72, a former Marine w/2 tours in Viet Nam. I recall how stunned I was when Ronald Reagan made the statement in ('84-'85?) that we could fight and survive a "Limited Nuclear War". May be on paper, but board games are printed on paper, not realism.
Easy for Reagan to say. He probably would be rushed to safety in a bunker long before anything happened.
I'm glad you made it home after 2 tours. A lot of Marines didn't, and we didn't make it easy for those of you who did. Anyway, I think that statement was in 1983. That was Reagan's Cold War crazy year ("We begin bombing in five minutes," "Evil empire," Pershing II's and cruise missiles in West Germany, Abel Archer, SDI, rhetoric around KAL-007 - I know I'm forgetting a few items...).
That was my senior year in high school (83-84). Reagan had the world rattled into quite a state - we didn't do duck & cover drills, but all students had to go through a curriculum covering what an expected nuclear exchange would look like, how our town would be affected, how many evacuees from the cities would likely descend upon our small town (>100k), and how many sick , injured, and dying would likely show up at our 20-bed hospital (>50k), etc.
Reagan became a lot less hawkish and crazy with our nukes from 1984 on. Part of that was a private screening he had in the White House of The Day After. He wrote about it in his diary (now public), saying he had no idea what nuclear war actually meant - words to that effect. The next year, for the first time, he personally spoke with the Soviet premier, Constantine Chernenko, by phone. Of course Chernenko died right away, but he was replaced by Gorbachev, and I think we all remember how he and Reagan became friends, and even partners in disarmament. I learned very recently exactly how drastically they cut the arsenals of both countries - nearly 90% by the time the treaties were in full force. We've been rebuilding our stockpiles slowly ever since, but as a lifelong Democrat, I can think of no one in our government who has done more to reduce our nuclear stockpiles and to make nuclear war less likely than Ronald Reagan - AFTER 1983. I REALLY did not like him as president, but I have to give him credit for this one, extremely important achievement of his.
Thats because like the little soldier ant you are you couldn't possibly fathom what your ultimate superior could fathom with his all knowing knowledge over your own.
Sit down soldier. You're trying to understand what you can not, and soldiering is where you're best. Let the extremely gifted modern minds handle the rest. We got planets to conquer when we are done here buddy. This is just the first small step, time to become big adults now.
Sometimes I wonder if Reagan star war theory was correct
should've ended the soviets after the WW2 when US had the chance.
$80bil for Ukraine, $12bil for Hawaii. Shows how much the American government cares about their own people.
Very interesting. In the late 70's I was stationed at a SAC base in northern Maine (Loring AFB). According to Wikipedia, Loring had the largest stockpile of nukes in the continental US. We had nine B-52's on 24 hour alert. They were loaded to the max with fuel and nukes. To reach the USSR, the bombers would essentially fly over the north pole. From the US it was the shortest route. For this reason, we were told that Loring was the 2nd highest priority for attack if a nuclear war broke out between the US and the USSR. Of course, Washington DC was priority one.
@@chaskaabraxas5314 As a lowly Staff Sergeant (E5), I did not get to sit in on those strategic planning meetings. I'm assuming they did not want to put "all their eggs in one basket". I think Loring was shut down sometime in the eighties or nineties.

Nothing classified here that Russia, China, France and perhaps Israel don't already know, because they have to. You never want to take the risk that your enemies, and even friends, can ever get the nuclear drop on you. Friends can become enemies and enemies your friends in political alliances over night. To do or assume otherwise is living in a fool's paradise, happily oblivious to ever-changing world events and situations.
Any pro automatically converts mph to mach.. its a simple equation and decimal ratio to grasp.
There is a 0% chance that there aren’t top-secret nuclear missile silos across the country. Like a country would just openly allow everyone to know where the most powerful weapons on the planet are kept lol
Nuclear weapons and systems are the kind you want your enemy to see and know about, that's part of the deterrent. The USA does not even block the arsenal locations on google maps, if you know where to look you can zoom right in on the most secret places you can imagine. Same in Russia, if you know where to look their stuff is right out in the open.
You are correct
Hiding a silo is doable. Hiding the people who work there, the nukes and their missiles transiting to there and probably some other factors (like supplying a unique component or fuel used for said nukes/missiles) may not be...
Well. You don't really need "secret" silos since the invention of ballastic missle nuclear submarines. Hard to find and always ready to launch.
Russia and the USA use to allow yearly flights to check each other out. I bet it stopped.
I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming next to FE Warren Air Force Base in the heart of ICBM country. Visitors can explore an exact replica of an ICBM in its silo. Strong feelings of bellicose patriotism, immediately gave way to fear and dread when I touched the replica warhead. Looking down into the silo is equally terrifying. It’s about 60 ft/18m tall. Roughly the length of a common tractor trailer (lori). I imagined the screaming raw power of the fuel burning as I looked into the maw of the bell housing after taking the stairs to see the engines, Not gonna lie, It made me feel a little dizzy. Next stop, an exact replica of a command center. There’s not really a big red button, the launch sequence involves the president and is fairly complicated. In the end it takes two soldiers to turn two keys simultaneously. We actually got to turn the replica keys. That actually made my stomach turn a little bit. I now have a deeper understanding and respect for the term dead dead!

My best friend was in the airforce and he went nuts in the silos. There are 2 sets of keys, and the airmen with those keys are escorted around base. He went into a form of mental decline and showed me the keys when he was on leave, this was 30 years ago. He was never supposed to have them off base. I had no idea how he got them off without turning them in. He was a staff nco and got out of the airforce. He is a total recluse today.

Bro went from making car videos to nuclear war
If anyone doesn’t know, the reason why American solo locations are disclosed is so the enemy as to decide if they want to nuke a solo or a city which saves lives
That may be part of it but the major reason is because the Nuclear treaties, that the US and Russia signed, back in the 80’s, required them to show each others silo locations and bombers to be more transparent with each other about what their capabilities were.
Do you realize that this is the US aggressor? Russia has been a very peaceful state for 40 years. US is the enemy of the world.

"The best move is not to play." That was the 1980s when people were sane. Today - getting insane.
Crazy to think any human being has this ability to have this type of weapon and think of using it
Once the United States not only had it, but demonstrated it was willing to use it, the Soviet Union really had no choice but to develop their own. The deterrent worked. We have not had a world war between the United States and Russia despite their being the two superpowers.
People are insane and always have been. Einstein stated that earth was the asylum of the universe. Any doubts ??
Putin won't survive it either
The Taliban will have nukes from Pakistan most likely.

Incredibly, there are actually countries that have conducted two types of nuclear tests in urban areas, which even Russia has not done.
That too after victory was confirmed.

Well there's definitely one thing you can guarantee. As soon as one missile is launched at any one country, the rest of the world suffers.

I think the Country to counterattack would go big. REAL BIG knowing that a response would be even bigger if not. So Its my guess that the first to send the first nuke would be the one to lose the most. I also see the US as the second person to strike with nukes. Everyone losses of course but the first to Strike would be the biggest loser in this situation.

@@SkinE-Vadee-VeecheeWhat makes you think the country which started most of the wars around the world in the last half century and dropped the only two nuclear bombs ever in human history will be the passive party?
What's always missing from these types of videos is the all important political goals of each side. No one wants nuclear war, which is why we haven't had one in 70 years. The primary goal would be to limit the damage done to one's side. Other political goals would be relevant and deserve analysis. But the reason for targeting cities for example would be to dissuade the other side from hitting your cities. Theoretically this should be quite possible. Theoretically it should be possible to keep a war limited, if each side could keep control of their forces. But of course, things don't always go according to plan, especially in war.
Limited nuclear war is a fiction. If the 10 most populous cities in the US were nuked, and nothing else, the USA would still be FATALLY destroyed. Think about it. No power grid, no water supply, no distribution of food, etc. 90% of the population would be dead within a year.
I don't know which is worse listening to Nancy pelosi's mouth or getting nuked by russia
It starts by Russia or China feeling like they are losing a conventional fight and using to teach us a lesson.
And I also believe the idea of mutually assured destruction is a bit of a paradox because if someone was to use nuclear weapons against another, those individuals would still be considering that concept and how their retaliatory actions could further escalate towards the destruction of everything. It’s not assured that the response to a nuclear attack will be a nuclear attack because the paradigm that has prevented nuclear exchanges is still in effect.
There has never been a nuclear war
