Shoutout to Petrov. You're the real MVP

[@fran6david114]

[@The_Fat_Controller.]

Petrov gets WAY too much credit for "saving humanity," and it's starting to annoy the shit out of me. Petrov didn't have launch authority or capability. That decision lay at the very top of the Soviet political and military hierarchy. There's 2 ways the Petrov story could have played out if Petrov had followed procedure and notified higher-ups in the chain of command that 5 missiles were detected to be inbound to the Soviet Union. Scenario 1: "Some Chicken Little Lieutenant Colonel is panicking at an early warning site claiming the Americans are attacking us with five ICBMs. The Americans aren't going to suddenly attack us with just five missiles. It has to be a glitch in the new satellite detection system. Demote that idiot to Private and have him clean latrines in Siberia for the rest of his career." Scenario 2: "We have word from one of our early warning detection sites that the Americans have launched five missiles towards us." "Just five?" "Yes. But the satellite detection system is new and known to have faults. It could be a false alarm." "COULD be a false alarm. So it could be ZERO missiles or it it could be FIVE HUNDRED missiles with a FEW THOUSAND warheads. By the time our radar facilities give confirmation, it may be too late to respond and most of our nuclear forces could be destroyed on the ground. I cannot take the chance. Order an immediate nuclear retaliation. Scramble our bomber force, and launch our missiles at the United States and its NATO allies."

This is all bullshit and fear-mongering exclamation mark it is well known if you have any type of physics chemistry degree that nuclear winter was something that would happen post the weapons we had in the 50s 60s and early 70s when we switched over to the new weapons it's not going to be so catastrophic post the weapons discharge it will still be fairly normal afterwards and when I say fairly I don't mean relative but it's not going to be what the game Fallout looks like post a nuclear exchange!

When I was a wee young Navy lad on the USS Alabama (SSBN 731 B) during the first Gulf War, we used to joke that boomers weren't deployed to the gulf area because no one wants a nuclear missile to participate in any sort of conflict, and also that we didn't need to go over there because we could practically do our job moored to the pier. And while that part isn't completely true (you need some depth in order to launch missiles), you could do that from many areas that are quite close to the pier...

What she neglected to mention is that in Sagens experiments he had to add an immense amount of soot to the atmosphere pre explosions to create the conditions for an extended nuclear winter. We would need destructive power of a mid sized asteroid to create anything like that which the entire of the world's nuclear arsenal would only equal a fraction of. Rest easy folks ✌️
