There are two rules regarding the US that you never, ever want to break. They are: Do not touch our boats. and Do not touch our _FOLKS._ When you touch our boats, we get _porportionate._ When you touch our _folks_ we get *_appropriate._* If you want an example of 'porportionate,' see: Operation Praying Mantis. If you want an example of 'appropriate', see: Operation Paul Bunyan. If you want to see 'Maximum Porportionality', see WW2. If you want to see 'Maximum Appropriateness', see The War on Terror. If anyone so much as TRIES to aggressively split an atom on us, or anyone, they will have broken the third rule and will IMMEDIATELY become ground zero for _'Maximum Appropriate Porportionality'_ and the resulting nation sized radioactive crater will be the example future historians will point to to caution people not to break Rule 3. It hasn't happened yet. Hopefully it never will.

Our whole mission was to hold for 72 hours until the QRF and Marines could arrive. We were under no illusions. In an all out shooting war we had no doubt the US would win.

Of course. Imagine you get a call from a neighbor asking to help cut down a tree, then you send some family members over to help only for some other neighbors to end up killing two of those family members, taking turns beating them with an ax. They literally torturously killed your family members over a tree. Then as if that's not bad enough, when news spreads of this, those same neighbors then tell everybody that you and your family are at fault for what happened because your family is too aggressive. They then gather all the other neighbors and try to tell you that you have to leave the neighborhood. So now you've lost two of your family members, you're being treated like the aggressors, basically the entire neighborhood is gaslighting you by blaming you, and not only have they done all that on top of that they have the nerve to act like they did nothing wrong so much so that they think they have the right to punish you by kicking you out of the neighborhood. Also by acting like killing the two men wasn't wrong and by placing the blame on Americans, they were disrespecting the two men who died. So yes Americans were absolutely ready to go to war over two lost lives. So much so that when the neighbors who did the killings tried to hide in their houses, Americans basically threw a rock through their window with a note saying get your asses out here and watch us cut down this tree, because at that point they would rather have even more dangerous neighbors in the backyard watching them than to allow the neighbors to continue brushing things off as not a big deal. We literally invited more enemies to the party because we were that ready to go to war over the deaths of two people. Because you don't mess with America's boats or our folks. And if you do kill our people you certainly better have a better excuse than oh they were cutting down our tree.

Don’t think he’s published the man hole cover yet, and I can’t remember the operation name…but trust me, it was far bigger than a man hole. It was like a ten foot diameter and inch or multi inch thick steel plate, that was anchored to a big ass circular concrete foundation around a mine opening, and they wanted to see what the effects of a juke going off, underground, with a miles worth of water in the mine, onto top of the nuke…so they set it up, anchored the lid down then detonated the nuke, which flashed the entire miles worth of water into super heated steam, instantly, making the worlds largest and most powerful steam engine, that hit that big ass steel cap, and sent it into orbit, radar was briefly able to pick it up, and in that moment they could detect and track it, it was going Mach ten, still in atmosphere then disappeared, presumably still accelerating and it flew off into deep space, forever gone.

Operation Plumbbob, during the Pascal-B test, and it was in the 50s, so pre-Sputnik. The cover was only about four feet wide, but it was 4 inches thick. The nuke was at the bottom of a shaft, 500 feet down. They had shot it with a 1000 FPS camera, but the cover was only partially visible in one frame. The estimate from the video taken was that it flew off at very roughly 125,000 mph (which would be Mach 162). It was never seen on any radar, as it would have been too small for that.

In fairness, that is probably not going to come for two reasons: 1) While it is called such, it was not actually a manhole cover, it was a plug designed for the hole that they would set nukes in for underground testing. It was much bigger and much heavier than any manhole cover ever. This is more of a technicality, and this is the smaller reason. 2) No one actually knows if that plug actually was launched into space. They knew it was no longer where it was supposed to be after the nuke was detonated, but they had no idea what actually happened to it. The most commonly held belief is that it was launched into space, but there are big issues with this. For one, the numbers needed to launch it, while calculated, were never confirmed in any way in any test before or since, and even at the time, the numbers were disputed. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, there was absolutely no trace of this plug: no pieces of the plug itself, no pieces of what held it, no radar returns (all space launches were tracked on radar, and the plug was a mostly metal solid piece that would have easily reflected radar back to the receivers, and again, there were none), no sightings of it at all. In short, while that is the most common story, what little evidence there is point to it having been vaporized, maybe even without leaving its place. Granted, this is not confirmed either, but it is what was determined to likely have been what happened.

Ford really wasn't a terrible president. He didn't want to be there, and he had had no real interest in the job, but he did okay all things considered. Sure, we may have overflexed in the poplar tree incident, but better to overflex than go full whimpering milquetoast like some other presidents and administrations have. I mean, they named a damn new aircraft carrier after him. You don't see them doing that for President John Tyler (who might have been the worst overall). And, if I'm honest, I like that the administration put their soldiers' safety first, and did honor those who died instead of pretending nothing happened and leaving the check point at risk. And, damn, with that many stratofortresses overhead, I'd have been shitting myself even though I was on the same side. 😀

I will admit that I haven't gone through all of the comments, but I wanted to weigh in on the whole "manhole cover" post-credits item to give you a little more detail...and which I hope Nic actually includes in his video on that topic: _The USA didn't just do it once, they did it TWICE._ The first time, they weren't sure if the manhole cover had been vaporized or if it had been launched, so they made sure to use another manhole cover setup during a subsequent underground test (along with a few high-speed cameras) to determine what happened...and they had to base their velocity calculations for the manhole cover on a single frame of film, as it was the only one which captured the manhole cover being launched - and, even then, the cover was moving so quickly that in the VERY NEXT frame of high-speed film (shutter speed was 1000 frames PER SECOND) it was no longer visible. I won't say anything more about it, because I'm sure Nic will do an even better job than I ever could.

Oh, and one other thing - this time, regarding Gerald R. Ford: it turns out that he was a very good President, considering that there was MUCH more going on than simply a buddy helping a friend out. Here's the scoop on that situation. • The Vietnam war was winding down, but there was still an incredible amount of tension in the American public - which was starting to come close to rioting (or worse) • Richard M. Nixon was actually interested in fighting any potential impeachment, and it was virtually certain that the House of Representatives would successfully vote to have the U.S. Senate actually conduct the impeachment trial • Nixon, furthermore, truly believed that, as President, he was empowered to take actions he deemed necessary and that he was therefore not subject to outside review (by folks such as - oh, I don't know - the U.S. Congress) So you had protests taking place across the USA, a president who was convinced that he could do no wrong ("Tricky Dick" even went so far as to go on television and declare that he was "not a crook"), and a powder-keg of an issue in the entire Watergate scandal which could honestly result in the USA falling apart at the seams. Something had to be done to fix this, so a deal was struck where Nixon would step down _while the House of Representatives was actually debating whether to vote to impeach him_ and that he would be granted a full Presidential pardon, so that this could all die down. Ford knew, going into this deal, that he was going to have to fade the heat for it all, but he was willing to do it because it was the one course of action where (hopefully) people wouldn't be at each others' throats...and it wasn't like he had any expectations to be the job after the next election.

Were they using pocket knives to cut it down? The only reason I can think of that it would take so long is planning by the higher ups detailing which branches were to be cut first, and exactly how long the logs had to be before moving to the next branch. Realistically they could have had one guy walk in at night, drill a hole in the trunk, insert a stick of dynamite, light the fuse and walk away. I've taken down trees that way before and it works really good.

A job he didn't want and only got because Nixon He only did the pardon because he was preventing what we are going through now. A trial of a political heavyweight that broke the law. And now he is being held accountable. The whole country is screaming at each other because of it. Ladies and Gentleman, the reason he pardoned Nixon.
