He's right, we should give the bombs to the people!

WE CANT LET THIS GUY GET THE NUCLEAR SCOOPS

Ironic as it sounds, nukes are what stopped the cold war from turning into WW3

Large stockpiles of nuclear weapons have caused the longest period of relative peace between major powers in hundreds of years.

>>130814120

Not gonna lie, former Trump voter here. This is fucking hilarious watching Trump crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear codes.

He is kinda right actually. The world came pretty close to seeing nuclear bombs being launched a few times if I remember right, it was only sheer luck that stopped them

>>130814120
Most the of US nuclear arsenal is fromt he 70's at best. They still use old floppy disks in their comps. But this old curmudgeon has a problem with that.

>>130814120
>a miracle
It's not a fucking miracle, it's because of MAD and nuclear deterrence. Bernie Sanders is the kind of idiot who would disarm all of our nukes and then wonder why we get nuked in the next major war.

>>130814120

Maybe there was some luck, but the forestalling of WW3 is to the credit of the military, intelligence services, and even federal financiers if you can believe that. Geopolitics is a game of power (duh), which is why I always balk when some ignorant plebiean floats the idea of slashing military budgets and neutering banks/the federal reserve.

>A computer error at NORAD headquarters led to alarm and full preparation for a nonexistent large-scale Soviet attack.[9] NORAD notified national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski that the Soviet Union had launched 250 ballistic missiles with a trajectory for the United States, stating that a decision to retaliate would need to be made by the president within 3 to 7 minutes. NORAD computers then placed the number of incoming missiles at 2,200.[18] Strategic Air Command was notified, nuclear bombers prepared for takeoff, and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) crews were presumably placed on alert. Within six to seven minutes of the initial response, satellite and radar systems were able to confirm that the attack was a false alarm

No, trump is commander in chief and can nuke if attacked or congress declares war.

We need to maintain a credible deterrent of retaliation in the event of a First Strike against our nation.

This requires advances in nuke technology and delivery as enemy weapons become more accurate.

If it becomes feasible for the Soviets to decapitate us and neutralize our nuclear forces, the Mutual Assured Destruction doctrine that has maintained the (relative) peace since Joe-1 goes out the proverbial window.

What are you talking about?

anyway heres another close call

Several weeks after the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 over Soviet airspace, a satellite early-warning system near Moscow reported the launch of one American Minuteman ICBM. Soon after, it reported that 5 missiles had been launched. Convinced that a real American offensive would involve many more missiles, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov of the Air Defense Forces refused to acknowledge the threat as legitimate and continued to convince his superiors that it was a false alarm until this could be confirmed by ground radar.[20][21]

The Command Center of the Office of Emergency Planning went on full alert after a massive power outage in the NE United States. Several nuclear bomb detectors—used to distinguish between regular power outages and power outages caused by a nuclear blast—near major U.S. cities malfunctioned due to circuit errors, creating the illusion of a nuclear attack.[8]

At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet patrol submarine B-59 almost launched a nuclear-tipped torpedo while under harassment by American naval forces. One of several vessels surrounded by American destroyers near Cuba, the B-59 dived to avoid detection and was unable to communicate with Moscow for a number of days.[11] The USS Beale began dropping practice depth charges to signal the B-59 to surface, however the Soviet submarine took these to be real depth charges.[12] With low batteries affecting the submarine's life support systems and without orders from Moscow, the commander of the B-59 believed that war may have already begun and ordered the use of a 10 kiloton nuclear torpedo against the American fleet. The submarine political officer agreed, but commander of the sub-flotilla Vasili Arkhipov persuaded the captain to surface and await orders.[13][14]

imagine if a bernie supporter heard this and decided he needed to make sure drumpf doesn't cause a nuclear holocaust. imagine if someone actually took bernie seriously and acted on this. maybe by making a list and trying to hunt republicans in congress or something similar. but nah that wouldn't happen. let's just make sure every single thing is max drama and the sky is falling

A powerful solar flare accompanied by a coronal mass ejection interfered with multiple NORAD radars over the Northern Hemisphere. This interference was initially interpreted as intentional jamming of the radars by the Soviets, thus an act of war. A nuclear bomber counter-strike was nearly launched by the U.S.[17]

He doesn't even know the code right now. He will only know the code when the Football is opened and the Biscuit is cracked.

He will still need the Sec of Defense or another Civilian Secretary to crack their Biscuit and verify he is of sound mind to authenticate a launch.

A couple of fun, lesser known Nuclear Attack fictions.

"The Last Broadcast." A /comfy/ Canadian radio play simulating a surprise invasion of West Germany by Soviet forces during the Reagan Years. Plays out very realistically as nukes fall in Europe first and then...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xjVLwoaNW8

"By Dawn's Early Light." Low budget old HBO movie with Powers Booth and James Earl Jones. At about the 13 minute mark, you actually hear a "SKYKING" attack message.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bZoFzDkH4g

I don't know the title of this, but it's a "broadcast" on BBC where Putin invades Estonia and WWIII breaks out. A modern take on "The Last Broadcast."

>>130819584
I didn't know that. That's interesting.
I was under the impression that one of the duties of the president would be to know the code at all times in case of an emergency

>>130821468
>"There are no checks and balances on the president's authority to launch a nuclear strike," he says. "But between the time he authorises one and the time it's carried out there are other people involved."

The idea of a rogue president taking such a monumental decision on his own is unrealistic. He gives the order and the secretary of defence is constitutionally obliged to carry it out.

The secretary of defence could, in theory, refuse to obey the order if he had reason to doubt the president's sanity, but this would constitute mutiny and the president can then fire him and assign the task to the deputy secretary of defence.

He keeps the Biscuit with him at all times and knows it's "the third one down" (or whichever one is the correct one) but the Biscuit is sealed and not read until they need to launch. Same goes for everyone in the CoG who carries a Biscuit. Hell, the Sec of Health & Human Services even has a Biscuit.
