Ok. My wife and I were in DC for 9/11. She was in the basement of the Pentagon and i was 4 klics away in the Army Night Vision Lab. We both survived it. She walked into the building the next morning while it was technically still on fire. I was reassigned to the national team missile defense agency 1 week later. What you’re hearing from your guest is a very well worn tale. All of her statistics are at least between ren and fifteen years old. Yes TNW can extract a terrible cost. However, our interventions are far more sophisticated than are let out online. More importantly, thelikelyhood of an NPRC ICBM actually getting out of the tube hit time 59:40 and going off with a full yield is one in twenty seven. For the Chinese it’s One in fifty four. Notwithstanding our likelihood of intervention.there’s a great deal more to say and I have to stop talking. I can try to send you some names of scientists and engineers that may speak to you. I like your podcasts.

I was a Political Science major at UNC-CH in the mid 80"s. Took a course taught by a former CIA agent all about nuclear war. Wish I had never learned what I did. Nightmares for months afterwords. The scenarios that we studied, were so horrific, that a third of the class dropped four weeks in. Any leader or country that would even consider actually using such weapons is, either insane, or woefully ignorant. The result would be so beyond anything Hollywood has portrayed, that the initial casualties would be the lucky ones. It is that insane. I believe the majority of the worlds population has ZERO concept of what it would entail. We are flirting with something beyond disaster, that once unleashed, will end civilization as we define it. It is literally unthinkable for any rational person under any circumstances. * Edit - I should also add that after the semester finished, UNC got so many complaints from parents and students, the course was removed from the curriculum permanently.

Her description of Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative is factually inaccurate. The idea was not to put nuclear weapons in space. He wanted to make nuclear weapons “impotent and obsolete” by building a multi-layered defensive system. Like Iron Dome, but more robust. Much of the opposition to SDI was based on the idea that it was impossible. With eighties technology, this was probably true. With current tech, maybe not. It’s clear the Soviets thought we could do it, which is why the threat of SDI helped bring the Russians to the bargaining table. Reagan agreed with her that nuclear weapons are horrific. In fact, some of his aides were worried he might not actually order a counter strike if the situation arose. He just wasn’t naive enough to think that empathy and understanding alone would lead to the abolition of nuclear weapons. He wanted both nuclear disarmament and a defensive system.

Even if you are not a paranoid person. Please prep for emergencies. Both large and small and everything in between. We are living in a time that anything can happen.

Even if the major nuclear powers decided to end their nuclear weapon programs, this technology is completely out of the bag. Of course, the ideas are scary, but there is no way that our world can go non nuclear. A virtual impossibility. So accepting the possibility of a world ending nuclear event needs to be accepted and this book and another million more would not stop this.

Well, let's hurry up and get it on then, all this waiting is tiresome and getting on my nerves. Can't we please just launch and be done with it already? I mean, we'll get to see the end of the world, how many people could say that until now, that they were witness to the end of humanity? And we'll all get to go out with such a tremendous bang in the most splendiferous glory!

I watched "The Day After" as a little kid. It was on national TV, when we only had ABC, NBC, CBS. As a little kid, it was pretty scary. Nothing serious like that had ever been on TV. We were used to "The Love Boat", "Magnum PI", "Alice", stuff like that. Kids born after 1990 can't even understand. LOL You know, VP Walz said he drove to school with a gun in his car. Things change a HUGE amount in just 10 years.

I’ve worked nuclear security In the mountains of Montana Over 150 missles spread out across hundreds of miles. You can find the coordinates on wikipedia, although you will not make entry even if you had the baddest security to help you. The capability of those ICBMs can reach anywhere in the world with pinpoint precision in 30 minutes or less

It’s evil, maniacal and psychotic. I don’t understand how he doesn’t understand the difference. Great listening to Annie though, she’s “the bomb” in my book.

There is no question about the use of nuclear weapons. Very few understand human nature and, more specifically, how human minds function at all levels, mental laws, universal laws, and the evolution of human life on earth. Wishes and whys, how is it possible to do this or that, doesn't change reality. And of course, the most dangerous and probable state that could launch or at least provoke a Nuclear Armageddon is the US. The US is the most barbarian, criminal state ever on Earth. Nowadays, it maintains 800 military bases all over the world, especially around Russia and China. And of course, the political establishment is far away from being democracy. For all those interested, in democracy are the citizens that decide FOR EVERYTHING and presidents only execute what the majority of citizens have decided. Nowadays, we have just parody elections that give the power to a few to run our lives manipulating everything and most of all using MEDIA to hypnotize the sheeps like citizens (the majority). And we are in a time that the warmongers of the US with their vassals Allies of NATO and others are provoking Russia & China in order to subdue them as they used to do so with other countries. However, Russia and China are preparing themselves with determination and power to face the US. And this will be the end of the US empire and also the era of humanity on earth. A new era will begin some decades later when the planet will regain stability. This is the raw truth, you understand it or not, you like it or not. So, best for you, be prepared for what is coming!!!!

Al Beliek, the physicist who conducted the Philadelphia Experiment, was asked about a nuclear war in the future. He said yes, and " it will be full bore... The USS Eldridge went into hyper space and Bielek and Duncan jumped overboard, but fell into the future. Bielek was sent 600 years into the future on top of going to 2127 then returning back to the Eldridge to turn off the Experiment. They also had to fix a problem created in the time recalibration or the N American Continent would sink.

The idea of a "madman" scenario is terrifying to me because it implies that even if there are no errors at all and the system is working perfectly, there could still be the potential for a nuclear strike to be initiated. Another problem is that there is no fool proof way to completely counter act or prevent this scenario without losing the guarantee for a rapid strike because it might take to long to verify that the leader in question is of sound mind before it might be too late.
