I remember seeing this scene in a theater, stoned, with my equally stoned buddy next to me. He was listening to that admiral's speech and just sighing with a look of frightened yet amused resignation on his face: "This could really happen and there wouldn't be a thing we could do about it." 36 years ago, and I remember that like it was yesterday.
Well, here we are in February 2022. Your stoned friend was right. I wish I were stoned just thinking about it. Hopefully, the future is in the stoned age, not the Stone Age.
I wonder if Dan Aykroyd was inspired by Dr. Stranglelove when writing this part. Also, this story co-writer was Dave Thomas from SCTV and Grace under Fire fame.
Sadly, it's a true statement. At the core of things, aggressors, even at the nation state level, are bullies that won't be stopped unless an equal or greater power steps in to challenge them.
In one regard the general is correct. A lot of people out there tend to mistake kindness for weakness, and it leads to natural bullies to push things a bit too far.
No, he's not, that's a very stupid logic. Just because you bought a firearm doesn't mean you're obliged to kill someone because you misfired the weapon. Are you're really that thick or this is just satire?
A vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence ... And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made ... The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence
Tłumaczę Wam! I oni tak zrobili! W katalogu na TH-cam mam z tym oficerem wojsk nuklearnych, co na komputerach widzieli że lecą w ich stronę amerykańskie Iskandery, a to Amerykanie w kosmosie zrobili zmyłe lustrami i on nie odpalił rakiety, zamiast nagrody przełożeni go zniszczyli i skończył jak mój ojciec Janek! Ale Jan skończył o wiele gorzej!
No, a-hole. It's the American corporate back (of the White House) office that wants control of the natural resources from Luhansk and Donetk regions which, by the way, were already russophone. Of course, this is not your regular news from CNN or Politico. Or any other libtard media channels, right? American ambitions in Ukraine destabilized the entire European continent for nothing. Because Europe will always need Russian natural resources.
Wrong! It's the American Military/Industrial complex and their minions in D.C. who are these two generals! Anybody who supports a direct confrontation with the Russians either don't realize nor care that such a thing would create a nuclear war! Wake up and smell what is being shoveled at you!
These 4 guys in this film remind me of the Duke brothers in trading places also with Dan aykroyd and also directed by John landis.
I still remember the first time that I watched this movie.
This scene was my favourite.
Better than Vanessa Angel coming out of that tent?
Best line from the Military industrial complex. "A weapon unused, is a useless weapon."
I concur... General Slime was spot on....Ukraine, Taiwan...

deja vu
He's an USAF General, not an admiral.
@@frankdodd3355 bro, it's March 20, 2023. You are stoned. But it's cool. So am I, sir.
General Jack D. Ripper lives!
Not to mention two of them
Echoes of Dr Strangelove here!
I wonder if Dan Aykroyd was inspired by Dr. Stranglelove when writing this part. Also, this story co-writer was Dave Thomas from SCTV and Grace under Fire fame.
I am pretty sure that General is inspired by Curtis LeMay.
The character seems like a nod to Jack D. Ripper, the insane and paranoid general who orders a nuclear strike in Dr Strangelove.
More of a General Jack D Ripper homage
Yes, Jack D Ripper and Gen Turgidson from Doctor Strangelove were both loosely inspired by Curtis LeMay.
Which one? There's two of them The Air Force General, General Sline?
@@clipobserveryeah General Sline, I forgot the Army Generals name but Sline definitely seems to be the driving force
Relevant today.
Boy this aged well
My favorite scene in the movie!
Good old spies.

Obama made Putin what he is today.
You program zion to attack itself while you sit behind the veil
Schmektel corporation 😂any relationship to Bechtel?
More like to RAND.
@@GrayFoxROUBechtel is similar to RAND, possibly their biggest competition as a Think Tank

Remember Operation Gladio in Europe?
A weapon un-used !? Is a useless weapon. Wow
This is so true. I haven't had sex in 2 years and now I can't get it up anymore.
Happening today.
I agree 100 percent.
Over exaggeration
@@surenotejas3163 No it`s not. Raytheon and HK are just two corportations grateful towards the war in Ukraine...
Yes
A vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
...
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
...
The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence
Higs and sline

Glad we have Good Guys in charge
Salute to the Silent Warriors globally

Yep I'm pretty sure he's talking about Vladimir Putin
