Even in Canada, the US owns a lab in many upper air stations with air scrubbers that detect radioactive isotopes. These filters are changed regularly and the difference in time between detection between locations allows triangulation of where the isosopes came from. In this way, nuclear incidents or tests above ground cannot be hidden. The Americans can find the location of any such event anywhere on the planet.

I am just old enough, a child of the late 60s, that early in my grade school we twice did a nuclear war drill...which involved orderly and quick evacuation to.the school basement one time and literally ducking under our desks and covering our heads the other time. I was very young and didn't understand at the time what exactly a nuclear war would entail, but those drills instilled a lifelong fascination with weaponry. Janes Defense magazine, any books and government issues pamphlets, etc. have been a part of my life. In my teenage years I already recognized how laughable the drills of ducking under a desk were. The 80s were a really tense time and after the fall of the Soviet Union, nuclear worries lessened and one impact of that is how little too many people understand about nuclear weapons, their impact on humanity and how close we have been at various times and now once again we are to a nuclear exchange. It's a terrifying thought and a sad narrative on how primitive human beings are by continuing to have such instruments available at the press of a button. As far as we have come, we are ultimately still a bunch of dick wagging, blundering primates. Cheers.

[@castlerock58]

The closest we came to nuclear war was during the Cuban Missile Crisis when an insane US navy captain attacked a Soviet submarine by dropping depth charges on it. That was an act of war and the Soviet sub commander and political officer, between them, were authorized to launch a nuclear torpedo if attacked by the US navy. The commander wanted to launch the nuke at a US carrier and the political officer disagreed so the carrier didn't get nuked. Also, the Soviet commander in Cuba was cleared to use Frog tactical nuclear missiles to defend Cuba against a US invasion. If JFK had given the order to start WW III by invading Cuba, it would have gone nuclear in the first hour. That is worth considering with all the neocon lunatics advocating a NATO attack on Russia. The lesson of the Cuban Missile is that there may not even be a conventional phase to WW III. It could go nuclear immediately. The other close call was when the US was doing a nuclear exercise called Able Archer, in 1983, that the Soviets took for the real thing so they had their nuclear forces on high alert. Then the Russians had a glitch with their early warning system that gave them a false warning of a US ICBM launch. There was a Soviet officer with orders to launch on warning but he disobeyed orders and waited for conformation. He lost his job but he saved the world. The lesson of that close call is that it is dangerous to cause the other side to put their nuclear forces on high alert.

[@barrillesmason919]

The US destroyer dropped charges designed to tell the sub it knew where it was and it should surface. They were not depth charges designed to sink the sub. Please check your facts.

[@achimgeist5185]

There were two events in 1983 that were much closer to WW3: 1. The NATO maneuver Able Archer and 2. A false alarm from a Russian satellite that reported the launch of US nuclear missiles. We have the Russian officer Stanislaw Petrov to thank for the fact that we are still alive.

[@juhokuusisto9339]

[@podcastfan2544]

Her goal as an author is to tie in all the actions in a Nuke War often she uses specific examples to do this so it's not exactly Realistic but the specific actions are. Lastly, she ignores Presidential Directive PD-60 which states we are not in Launch on Warning Mode currently but must absorb a strike before we can retaliate. Check it out for yourself PD-60! ! !

[@StephenWest-t2v]

It would be B-2 spirits and B-21 Raiders dropping bombs. Submarines would only be a first strike option if we knew there would not be a retaliation. Subs are meant to be an automatic retaliation. The moment you launch they can be seen, so it would be highly advantageous to use a stealth bomber so they wouldn't even know it was happening until the bomb bay doors opened.

True. Russian Subs are outdated except the new Borej A class. They could and would easily being detected and followed by modern attack subs. So they won´t be able to launch their missiles because they will be destroyed before that. The 2 new Borejs might be harder to track. But perhaps they are a hoax like the Armata Tank and other "gamechanger" Russia only has on paper.

[@smkinaces2374]

Icbms are in a fixed location and the location of these nukes are well known. We could lose their capabilities if there was an attack. They also are the quicker option to use as they are out in a minute. It would make sense to use the visible option. Also these sites are considered sponges, they will be attacked because of their visibility.

Correct. Deploying a system that would intercept even 80% of nuclear missiles would cost 2 or 3 Trillion dollars. But if we deployed such a system, an adversary could just massively increase decoys to counter. Since decoys cost a tiny fraction of what interceptors cost, you can't ever win this race.

Per Wagner, as for EMP, its 50,000 feet over Kansas and unless the computer(s) is(or) hardened (covered in billow pads) they are all gone. any auto made without a computer will run, the rest won't - - - anything with a vacuum tube is fine.

Her book ( and the inevitable movie) are important because of the conversations that will result. It’s important to realize how implausible her sequence of events is. NK launches a single ICBM at DC, and the US responds in minutes with scores of minuteman missiles that must overfly Russian airspace. This initiates a massive Russian strike, and a subsequent massive US response. It is implausible to the point of absurdity that our military hasn’t simulated many scenarios that avoid this escalation chain. What about our response coming from air-launched cruise missiles or SLBMs? There will certainly always be a US boomer submarine in the western Pacific.

I'm not a Navy guy but I feel strongly that their ICBM/IRBMs are *not* using 60+ year-old guidance technology. Just the technical aspects of using a star-siting system would be outrageously difficult for an ocean-launched missile.

She sounds exactly like The Boss from MGS 3: Snake Eater which makes this so much more credible

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Hahahaha she does!

[@leopardgecko4226]

I thought the same thing. Been years since I've played that game lmao.

Love your library background. Ive got something similar going.

[@j.f.7509]

I guess she has to sell her book. I remember in the 80's this was a daily topic (unfortunately it' coming back). We've known since 1954 (Castle Bravo) about the effects. Happy sales AJ!

[@melissawessels4666]

44:50 When she’s discussing the “black book” that contains specific instructions for dealing with rogue countries. . . Is that black book updated? Is it electronic? Is it constantly receiving updated data around the globe? Very curious how that stays in real time.

[@SteveDonnaTVCanada]

In this age of super hi tech how come these nukes can’t be “over rided” if one was errantly launched. A small computer on board like those sent to space on satellites to slightly divert them a few degrees or self destruct?

Omg!!! I just had the same thought!!!!!

[@patrickpirzer4080]

The book "Fail safe" from 1963 is very interesting. In this story the cause is a computer error which sends a bomber squadron to Moscow.

I love her bookcase. I love hard back books books too. I sure hope they don't get nuked.

Hi, in your opinion what is the likelihood of a nuclear war? And which country is most likely to use nuclear, given the most recent developments in IRAN-ISRAEL?

What is the point of briefing the president if he is senile?

[@mdavidmullins]

Luckily senile Trump is now out of office and hopefully will stay that way, so your question is hypothetical.

[@codysaunders7348]

​@@mdavidmullins the stupidity of your comment has been heard and understood by the world wide web. There is no doubt in anyone's mind, how senile Biden is, especially when compared to Trump. Yes, we get it. You have Trump derangement syndrome, but you seriously lie to yourself to this magnitude? I'm impressed. I'm not American and it seems like I know more about your presidents than you do. Kind of sad in that regard.

[@jimshorts6751]

​@@mdavidmullinsKeep fooling yourself. It's a good way to embrace stupidity ideology.

​@libertyinperil520No borders ? That's the way you invite yourself into dangerous situations. Stop hiding behind YT and your living room. Take a vacation to Douglas AZ, the California border near TJ, or south Texas. You'll see an inordinate about of middle eastern and Chinese young men entering almost unfettered. Then read the ENTIRE "Rules for Radicals" and the tennents of Sharia Law. If you aren't concerned, you're ignoring the obvious.

[@StudioLB]

Well to be honest, it's why we voted DJT out

[@crashcrain]

Smart Author, she wrote a book on people's fears during a time when everyone is afraid. I love Nukes, it's going to suck if you ever hear the "Tang" sound that they create as metal explodes, but just for a fraction of a second. Seriously, don't worry about the Nukes, the day will come when they will be used, all weapons made eventually get used. Instead think about what you are going to do in the event you are lucky or unlucky enough to live?

Any nation that launches the first ICBM is basically committing suicide.

56:00 I suspect it takes an awful lot to get a video like this up and running, but at this particular juncture in the video, there are an enormous number of video edits. It is very choppy. Please think about that.

Interesting talk. But I question that someone would defy order to launch with a lower probability than a powerball win.

[@eldarrissman4172]

Wow excellent discussion. I wasn't aware that we don't have a separate doctrine for a rogue state nuclear missile attack. I would have thought the response would have been a massive air and sea attack with Conventional weapons. This assumes only one or two missiles were fired at the U.S. homeland. If the president does not have that discretion under laws passed to do such a thing...that is horrible. 80 ICBM missile as a response is nuts.

[@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055]

It’s fascinating reading and a real eye opener but no book ever stopped a war from taking place. Unfortunately we are dealing with leaders who have no morals or any compassion towards their fellow man/ woman. Deterance does not work in reality.
