“The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” - Carl Sagan
Yep. The variant, "two guys in a phone booth, both with flamethrowers."
Crazy!
Russia has a bic lighter called Satan 2.
@NoWorldWar According to nuclear strategists if you have to use them, they have failed.
Except it is much worse than that. Put them in a broom closet together, add Earth's life support system, and give each of them grenades in place of the matches.
I guess the Terminator had it right all along... "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"
And it's ... "more than meets the eye 👁️" from the transformers.
Excuse me. When have humans ever destroyed themselves? The answer is we haven’t. In our nature? No. In our nature to fight ourselves for supremacy, sure; what species doesn’t though?
What development would we have without war? We wouldn’t. If we never fought eachother we would still be eating berries and living in mud huts.
Space age technology married to Stone age morality.

@@glennparker5516 Yeah right...keep believing that shit.
It's pretty sad that billions of lives are held under the thumb of madness.
More obvious Ukraine gave up their Nukes now look at them.
It’s really crazy to think that a handful of individuals drag the rest of the world into their beef.
My life is held under the thumb of Jesus Christ and no one can touch it, no one !!
Beautiful
@@targetedfordeath359 yup 👍
The United States ICBM locations are common knowledge because they are used as a target for incoming missiles. The goal is to get an enemy to target the I icbm locations while still allowing many of our most valuable nuclear weapons free for the secondary attack or response attack. It's a diversion, It's essentially the world's most deadly and dangerous game of misdirection.
Dude...it’s new clee er
The goal is to kill African community in America living in Mississippi and Louisiana. That's sort of racial genocide isn't it?
Those missile silos are all over in my corner of Colorado. They continue north into Nebraska, and South Dakota, and North Dakota. The crews that man them are housed close to their missile silos, and they must be very bored, because they have been witnessed doing some pretty wild and crazy shit in public. Let's just say I hope these guys aren't as high and drunk on duty as they are off duty. Otherwise we are all in deep kimchee.
These states are called "nuclear sponges". But this is an old cold war doctrine. Russia will not primarily target these regions. God bless innocent Russians and innocent Americans.
But at the cost of million of lives in the US? So WE are also the collateral damage.
I'm 64 years old (today, actually, 7/22/22). I retired from DOD two years ago.. I'm amazed at how casually, people, who should know better, talk about nuclear war with Russia. They are out of their freaking minds.
I couldn't agree with you more sir, it's so easy to Play a couch general. If they only knew how insane fast how things go from normal to hell on earth.
since its a casual topic in the russian state media where they casually threaten to nuke west, i guess the west must also consider first strike option, or would you rather wait for russia to realize their threats first? my town is on the nuke list by russia, and if im to die i would just like to know that russia will also be obliterated in such case
since noone else said it....HAPPY LATE BDAY!
I don’t think it is any big mystery, I think it is just pretty simple, I think every country should just stay put and stay out of the others business. Nobody is going to win a WW3 nuclear war will solve nothing but destroying the earth an turning it in to mad max.
Happy belated bday G W!🎉🎊
"And how the US could win a nuclear war"
"Win" and "Nuclear war" shouldn't be in one sentence
Was just thinking that
What if the sentence is like:
Turkey wins the war, years later another war happens causing a nuclear war.
I used both ? Problem
EXACTLY! There are NO WINNERS in Global Nuclear War. Want to play a game?
Nuclear war has been very winnable for a while now. Do your research.
@MZT project MARAUDER.
I live and work by Barksdale AFB and constantly have B52s flying over they are really big and it’s kinda scary to think one single bomb could destroy the whole city
Lucky for you, they'd probably hit it with multiple bombs
@Milanofly84 yeah, they don't fly with ordiance anymore, too risky. They did in the 60s, look up operation chrome dome.
yeah, crossing the street can be scary too.. But unfounded fears are worse.
Actually, most carry multiple warheads. 10-12. So, multiple cities with one device.
Thank you for your service ice.
The greed, lust, gluttony, laziness, wrath, envy, and pride of just a handful corrupt politicians can seriously place billions of lives at risk

1 day ago True. It happens to be Vlad making the threats. None from the US. How stupid the nuke bravado. What would he win.
@@dans150 виноваты в том что происходит в том числе и сша. Ни в одном конфликте, даже в обычной семье, не может быть виновен кто-то один. Виноваты оба
Я и все остальные здравомыслящие люди, конечно, полностью с этим согласны. I and anyone else who is sane of course agree with that totally.
I was a medical doctor in the US Navy assigned to Marine Corps infantry units. I was fully trained in the medical effects of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. Your prayer should be "let me be at ground zero". You can't imagine how horrific surviving a nuclear strike would be.
Yep, if the time comes, I hope to be one of the first to go. I certainly don't want to live through the aftermath of full on nuclear or chemical warfare.
A group of us had this very discussion several years ago. After everyone declared what they'd do with myself as the last to say, I stated that I hope to be a casualty in the first seconds. Living in what was left would genuinely suck shortly afterwards.
@@kennethmoles4643 Agreed. Ain't gonna be like no Hollywood movie where they farm their tomatoes on the wild and hunt deers.
@@andyindicator2947 When ever this topic comes up, it always reminds me of this comic/drawing I saw somewhere back in the 80's.
It is of two guys in a boat on a lake fishing. Off in the distance you can see a large metropolitan skyline with a big mushroom cloud over it.
One of the fisherman says" You know what this means? Size doesn't matter and screw the limit". Still makes me chuckle when I think about it.
God Bless you for everything you had to endure
One thing that really stands out to me is just home much more powerful these bombs are from the ones we had less than a couple generations ago
Не факт, учитывая деградацию в сша это очень оптимистично.
@@user-hb2ky3by7p
In what way?
Just a reminder.
It took humans less time to advance our weapons from the refined sword to the nuke then it took to go from the broad sword to the refined sword.
now the future
Well, I don't know what would be considered refined in this context, but swords were still used as military weapons in 1800s commonly in most advanced countries of the time. There has certainly been some change in overral military capabilities since then.
as an American I've traveled abroad quite a bit and have found people everywhere to be friendly for the most part and have always been treated with respect and got along very well with foreigners its sad that a handful of greedy politicians has the power to determine the fate of all of us
Yeah it's sad,now let's get there oil
It's worse than sad. Consider joe and his bankrupt brain and body.
you must be white then
Or how one warmongering bastard like Putin has the power to determine the fate of all of us, because he started a war he couldn't win.
Do you know who they get that power from? There is not one politician in this country that wasn't granted their position by the will of the people. It is a privilege to be a president, senator, or congressman not a right. There is a way to strip them of that power but there's a small but substantial portion of America that believes voting against their own interests is a better policy instead of a livable wage.
I served 6 years, USN as an MT (Missile Technician, C3 Poseidon missile system) aboard boomers in the mid 80’s. We were responsible for every system (from flight control equipment, hydraulics, heating/cooling systems, every aspect from loading to close out) and I remember every time we drilled for launch how much weight everyone carried knowing what it meant if it were an actual launch. Knowing exactly what would come after, and knowing what the world would be like if we were to actually make it home. We all knew from extensive training exactly what these weapons would do, exactly how it performed when deployed from launch to detonation and the result, and I promise you it’s scarier than what you could possibly imagine. I also know that it’s a necessary weapon and I pray deterrence will still be enough to prevent an attack on US soil. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Contrary to movies and what most believe, there is no detonation button to blow it up in space. When it launches it will reach its targets with precision, and it will destroy everything in it path and would only take our sailors minutes to launch every one of them. Let’s pray we never have to. There’s no do overs.
I built guidance sys for the Harpoon backing 84

It'll certainly make a difference to the weather forecast;

_"But a bit of a change on Saturday, temperatures dropping right back down to nearly absolute zero -270⁰C, temperatures remaing in this region for the next 20-30 years._
_"So if you are going out this weekend, do wrap up warm."_ 🙂

@@cliffsampson8122 shut up cliff
He never said that.
@@chrisberrios5857 In March 1947, reports appeared about an exchange that Einstein reportedly had with a group of friends at a dinner party:
Professor Albert Einstein was asked by friends at a recent dinner party what new weapons might be employed in World War III. Appalled at the implications, he shook his head.
After several minutes of meditation, he said. "I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn't any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV."
"And what are those?" a guest asked.
"Stone spears," said Einstein. The quote appears to be un-substantiated only rumored to be true by the third parties. My Brother 's name is Mark Howell BTW. Funny coincidence!
Nah that’s not true, the surviving air force would find land afterwards
"John Connor : We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean." The Terminator : "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."
I caution against having remote functionality in the silos. I don't think security of China should be too lax, but it also shouldn't be too easy for Ai to launch nukes at China. There also needs to be consideration of skynet Ai using presidential deepfakes and clones. Proactive not reactive.

"There are no winners in a nuclear war. It is unfortunate that the pride of many politicians comes first, and not the lives of ordinary people"
I remember practicing drills when I was a kid in school in the event of a nuclear/other attack from a foreign adversary. Looking back, it was kind of a joke... like pretending you're not going to be affected by it as long as you either duck under your desk, or get marched down to the bomb shelter. It used to upset a lot of kids, that unknowing feeling, because it was a regular topic of conversation for everyone. And it should upset people... still today.
There's no running and hiding from such attacks and surviving. If you're in a designated location by the enemy... just kiss and say "goodbye". I hate war with a passion, and I'm a proud veteran. The possibility of countries throwing tantrums and murdering one another aren't that unrealistic today. Not now.
thank you for your service. I also did drills in school, knowing that if you saw the cloud, you were dead. kept adults happy, wasting our time ducking.
For them it's become personal. There's nothing we can do.......
The drills were essentially propaganda so people grew up believing we could survive a nuclear war... and if you don't believe you can survive something you are a lot less motivate to do it.
Thank you for your service. I grew up under simiIar here in the US. I was eight years oId at the time of the Cuban MissiIe Crisis and I couId sense how worried and tense my parents were. They of course never said anything to me--I guess they didn't want to frighten me--but I sensed it anyhow. We did the "duck and cover" driIIs, but any chiId with any sense knew that a schooi desk woudn't save us. PIus there were the quarterIy visits to the schooI air raid sheIter. It was a time that I hoped Iater generations wouId never have to Iive through.
@@rochellevanderboegh2122 I guess it made them think they were at Ieast trying to give us a chance. But by second grade, I'd figured out that if Detroit ended up getting nuked, ducking under a dask was not going to hep us.
No matter how it plays out The whole world suffers.
suffer ? lol
not bold people
Ppl thinks some ppl will still be having family picnics during war time. Human nature will always be about revenge. Think twice. No one wins eventually.
There are no real winners in a nuke war everything will be radioactive ☢️ like mad max wasteland
The wprld and everyone on it loses. Period. Even if you survive the the attack. There will not be anything left to live for .
Wow that's insane, scary, and comforting
how do you get your info on the warheads
It is on the internet. Are you looking for the yields? The US has 450 or so land based Minuteman III’s, each has 1 warhead. The warhead yields are said to be around 335-350 KT. The US has no missiles that carry a warhead in the MT range. The US has the Trident II in its submarine force, warheads range from 5KT to 475KT.
It’s so sad that we as Americans actually live in fear of this sort of thing. I go to work, bust my ass, come home and care for my children, and worry that I won’t get to see my kids grow old because some old men are making threats to wipe each other’s country’s out. A pissing match where me and my family could die from it. So pitiful and pathetic. Get right with God because it’s approaching faster than we know it.
The best bet is to vote for Republicans and peace. The Democrat Party is filled with Warhawk Globalists eager to continue endless wars in an attempt to reduce the population.
Right on. I dont hate any country, maybe just their leaders. How many people must die for the actions of a single leader? Take out the leaders, not the citizens. Why do we live in a world where is politically incorrect to say that, but its just fine to speculate about millions of citizens being killed as a consequence of their actions?
👍
Old men (primarily Boomers and possibly Reptilian) hate white males just as much as Blacks, Hispanics, and women...The old men want to destroy it all before white males get angry and take it back. The old men hate Russia too because they have strong white males.
The problem is your leaders who wants to be superior over every country and inforce laws that only fevers America...the earlier America realize this the better

The animation is beautiful.
Those of us who grew up during the Cold War are old enough to remember when the idea of nuclear war with Russia far from "unthinkable."
Well that's how it is right now, and it's more likely now than at any time from 1947 to 1991 with the possible exception of the bay of pigs event, so you don't need to be old to remember it being highly likely.
I was 5 years old in October, 1962. Nuclear war came dreadfully close that Fall.
We still have our family "fallout shelter" in Florida. I remember atomic bomb drills every week in school. We had to turn over our big, heavy desks to hide under while not looking at the floor to ceiling jalousie windows. Even my tiny child's mind thought those windows were a very bad idea.

Youre extremely intelligent. Its always been fiction. The most important aspect of it is maintaining the illusion of it all.

This is a mild children's story.
I was airborne radar aboard the AWACS during the Iranian /Iraqi war and the cold war with Russia. Most don't know that Russia used their Bear bombers to supply Cuba. So every 2-4 weeks these bombers would fly along our eastern seaboard on their way to Cuba. I can say this much, there was many times for the potential for WWIII to start during this time. We do not want to go into another cold war with a nuclear powered country.
Thank you for your service.
Nuclear war really brings an unthinkable amount of firepower for humanity to use against each other. If there is ever an extinction even again, it will be because of us.
Unfortunately looks like we are in. Cold War and it's heating up fast
so did you fly over dangerous areas to get higher hazard pay , instead of the safe areas , my friend said they did that

Yes, there is. Compromise your enemy's nuclear command and control, then incite violence in their own country. While they are in chaos, destroy them in a massive nuclear first strike so completely that they cannot retaliate. This is how things will actually play out and how the US will fall.
I think all the other creatures on this planet collectively if they could would come together and vote human beings off the planet for good.

The remote wireless launch capability is old tech which I doubt has been updated much nor pen tested much so it would seem obfuscation is probably the strongest part of the security preventing others from taking advantage of the wireless launch capability. Theoretically one would only need equipment capable of making the broadcast and then broadcast the correct signal.
All that we can do is just survive. All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive.

🤣🤣🤣
It’s funny that people actually believe we know how many weapons our military has
You certainly can know for many weapons.
The point is to NOT keep your nuclear capabilities secret.
The only way to prevent and deter a nuclear attack on your country is if the enemy knows full well they will never be able to nullify enough of your nuclear arsenal to where you'd not be able to completely destroy them in a retaliatory strike.
Vice versa
It's actually advantageous for a country's nuclear capability to be known as it is mostly a deterrent weapon. The more scared other countries are, the better!
I'm sure they have tons of hidden weapons and technology that we don't know about

That question at the beginning, "Could the United States win a global thermonuclear war?" overlooks the whole underlying truth, that being that NOBODY wins a global thermonuclear war.
Someone already won a nuclear war. USA vs. Japan.
It needn't be global. If our biggest 10 cities were nuked, the USA would be fatally destroyed. No electrical grid, no water or food distribution, etc. Actually, it would take less than that: two pulse bombs over the US would take down the grid and within a year 90% of the population would be dead. Russia would require more than two pulse bombs, being an enormous land mass. China probably would be cooked with just two.
With Hypersonic missles it could be a winner
@@tonybigalow3236 The US had "hypersonic" missiles back in the 1960s - and abandoned the idea as they were too easy to track and destroy.
You can't do "nape of earth" with them, they don't maneuver well enough.
@@tonybigalow3236 All ICBMs are hypersonic. Stop confusing HGVs with ICBM’s. ICBMs are faster than Russia and China’s fastest HGVs. Hypersonic Glide Vehicles are just another convoluted way to get their nuclear payload onto a target. Trident II’s are still vastly uncontested and much faster.

Everyone would lose! All people, the environment, all land animals, all insects, all birds, and all fish. There are no winners in nuclear war 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
Cockroaches and some corrupt politicians can survive a total nuclear war.
Unless we can launch a smaller 20 kiloton from space on top of the Kremlin. I assume that once the Kremlin and its administration has been taken out Russia loses launch capabilities.
All insects?
Cockroaches: I see this as an absolute win

I think this shouldn't be shown on TH-cam our enemies could be watching were our missiles are hidden
I learned a lot watching this. I am sure a lot of information is classified but this does give us a good baseline of understanding
Silly Billy nukes don’t exist lol

Yeah just get your marshmallows ready. Because at that point you want need a fire to cook them
Nothing classified here that Russia, China, France and perhaps Israel don't already know, because they have to. You never want to take the risk that your enemies, and even friends, can ever get the nuclear drop on you. Friends can become enemies and enemies your friends in political alliances over night. To do or assume otherwise is living in a fool's paradise, happily oblivious to ever-changing world events and situations.

We need Myth busters to do a test cause my main worry is do fat people get blown as far as skinny people with the blast wave?
No one would win, everybody would lose. Total destruction for the pride of a handfull men 😢
Nah. The Jews and masons who serve them will spare themselves from many of the effects, for they are the ones in control of all sides.
well said.
After such a war nobody would be left alive to recount it.
This is MAD! Mutually Assured Destruction
Menjadi pertanyaan adalah bagaimana orang memicu perang itu? Jika kita lihat dari ww 1 n ww 2 akar kedua itu berbeda dan saya meyakini akar dari konflik ww 3 pasti berbeda pula.
Very interesting. In the late 70's I was stationed at a SAC base in northern Maine (Loring AFB). According to Wikipedia, Loring had the largest stockpile of nukes in the continental US. We had nine B-52's on 24 hour alert. They were loaded to the max with fuel and nukes. To reach the USSR, the bombers would essentially fly over the north pole. From the US it was the shortest route. For this reason, we were told that Loring was the 2nd highest priority for attack if a nuclear war broke out between the US and the USSR. Of course, Washington DC was priority one.
@@chaskaabraxas5314 As a lowly Staff Sergeant (E5), I did not get to sit in on those strategic planning meetings. I'm assuming they did not want to put "all their eggs in one basket". I think Loring was shut down sometime in the eighties or nineties.
@@chaskaabraxas5314 no one trying to attack Siberia
@@Theplug926 - Are you X Military ? Been to ME ? Stfu 🤬
I was stationed at Loring, 73 thru 75. I loved it, sportsman’s Paradise. I got stationed there on my return from Vietnam. Lots of great memories from there, the people I met and got to know, both military and civilian were great.
Loring was not it. You had Castle Mather Fairchild Griffis and Plattsburgh Barksdale Minot Ellsworth Grand Forks and Eilsen just to name a few
When will you be uploading Part 2, this was very interesting and enlightening 👍✌
Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

IT is very sad to hear about NUCLEAR WAR.Pleace look before you leap.Then do not regard, it will be too late..I pray all will be bless
Very scary scenario. Praying for humanity.
I don’t think the “pinpoint accuracy” thing really is a problem when it comes to a nuclear war!
When you want to burn the haystack the needle is inside of
If you’re trying to take out a icbm you need precision. They are hardened
Missed it by Dat much!😳
Missing your target by a block or two isn't really an issue with nukes ))
The reason why most of our war heads are in the kt range our missles are really accurate. Megatron war heads are reserved for cities.
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Armoured vechicles galore.Australia has 2400.not much of a navy though

Isn’t it horrifying that everything we know and love can be gone in minute. Everything we have worked so hard for in this thing called life just gone for nothing
exactly my fear. everything ive worked for and sacrificed are all gonna be for nothing if this is becomes a reality.
We never worked hard on sustainable peace
Serpent being cast out --> I'm 9, upside down, inside out, and one minute ahead of time. I'm the CIA, I'll erase your memory! 'Overt ops' -SOURCE d 6 IM MI 6 + 1 minute.

We wouldn't as every satanic 7 nation army nuclear ICBM will miss. -Faith in God
@@ericwilson6994 Not sure what you're trying to say there. However, I'm joining the airforce in hopes of being a fighter pilot.
@@alexanderswander8176 What I'm saying is no Russian ICBM lands on U.S., Canadian, or U.K. soil if everyone in were fired because of Ronald Reagans, nuclear 'time warp' star wars 'time shield'. Go home, take a cold shower, state aloud Jesus Christ, The Arch Angel Michael is Lord, and have faith in the God above as a sinner. Stay out of church, synagogue, mosque, etc, and have faith in God that it will work out for you, because on a bell curve, after the serpent is cast out, you're going to be dead in combat, and you may or may not get back to hell, thereafter, but you'd certainly get to Heaven. -Michael
A submarine cannot launch its missiles undetected. It is undetected up to the moment it opens its first missile hatch, then it is completely vulnerable.
They can remain submerged and launch their missiles while well under the surface. Even if the launch is seen by the enemy's satellites the sub can change course to any random direction and have at least 30 minutes to clear the area. So, no, they aren't "completely vulnerable".
The acoustic signature can be detected hundreds of miles away.
Would that detection be accomplished by the smouldering glass the sub just hit with a missile?@@leestebbins5051
Why would you put the Global Strike Command in South Texas ?
I am 72, a former Marine w/2 tours in Viet Nam. I recall how stunned I was when Ronald Reagan made the statement in ('84-'85?) that we could fight and survive a "Limited Nuclear War". May be on paper, but board games are printed on paper, not realism.
Easy for Reagan to say. He probably would be rushed to safety in a bunker long before anything happened.
I'm glad you made it home after 2 tours. A lot of Marines didn't, and we didn't make it easy for those of you who did. Anyway, I think that statement was in 1983. That was Reagan's Cold War crazy year ("We begin bombing in five minutes," "Evil empire," Pershing II's and cruise missiles in West Germany, Abel Archer, SDI, rhetoric around KAL-007 - I know I'm forgetting a few items...).
That was my senior year in high school (83-84). Reagan had the world rattled into quite a state - we didn't do duck & cover drills, but all students had to go through a curriculum covering what an expected nuclear exchange would look like, how our town would be affected, how many evacuees from the cities would likely descend upon our small town (>100k), and how many sick , injured, and dying would likely show up at our 20-bed hospital (>50k), etc.
Reagan became a lot less hawkish and crazy with our nukes from 1984 on. Part of that was a private screening he had in the White House of The Day After. He wrote about it in his diary (now public), saying he had no idea what nuclear war actually meant - words to that effect. The next year, for the first time, he personally spoke with the Soviet premier, Constantine Chernenko, by phone. Of course Chernenko died right away, but he was replaced by Gorbachev, and I think we all remember how he and Reagan became friends, and even partners in disarmament. I learned very recently exactly how drastically they cut the arsenals of both countries - nearly 90% by the time the treaties were in full force. We've been rebuilding our stockpiles slowly ever since, but as a lifelong Democrat, I can think of no one in our government who has done more to reduce our nuclear stockpiles and to make nuclear war less likely than Ronald Reagan - AFTER 1983. I REALLY did not like him as president, but I have to give him credit for this one, extremely important achievement of his.
Thats because like the little soldier ant you are you couldn't possibly fathom what your ultimate superior could fathom with his all knowing knowledge over your own.
Sit down soldier. You're trying to understand what you can not, and soldiering is where you're best. Let the extremely gifted modern minds handle the rest. We got planets to conquer when we are done here buddy. This is just the first small step, time to become big adults now.
Sometimes I wonder if Reagan star war theory was correct
should've ended the soviets after the WW2 when US had the chance.
