DANNY JONES KNOWS MORE ... MORE THAN HIS GUEST WOW. He said wasn't IVY MIKE meant to be smaller? He's right the yield was miscalculated but the woman you know was so stupid that she uh ... started talking about fitting it into a missile. Now Ivy Mike never went in a missile, these were gravity drop devices but the woman was ignorant, she was just talking a load of bull and went off on a tangent, wow!
Please support creative society !!!!!
I never made it past her book title. From the description: "Nuclear War: A Scenario looks deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment & is based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made."
Great guest, however we have way more than 40 interceptor missiles in our anti-missile defense system. For starters the navy has 73 Arleigh Burke class destroyers that can carry up to 96 RIM-161 SM-3 anti-ballistic missiles each. Not to mention land based SM-3 systems in both Poland and Romania as well as naval based SM-3 systems currently used by Japan and South Korea. On top of that the Patriot Pac-3 missile has ABM capabilities as well with 1,106 launch systems produced so far and 4 missiles per launcher. So she was a great guest and I really genuinely agree with her views, however, her interceptor comment was way off the mark. But having said that even this amount of interceptor capability can be easily overwhelmed via swarm attacks so she is correct on that point.

A few days back I had a heated discussion with a 30 something fellow who lives in NYC.
He could not grasp that a nuclear bomb would destroy the city.
He was convinced that he could go to an inside room of his apartment building to survive the blast.
He believed the threat of radiation would be gone in 6 hours.
He believes the city has contingency plans to bring services back online after a blast.
I went from one point to the next to show him how wrong he is.
No one in the city would ultimately survive. Certainly not above ground and likely not underground.
And afterwards, those who DID survive the blast would face a bleak, miserable existence before they finally succumbed.
He pointed out the public service announcements the city has been showing on TV, (I've seen them).
They are ridiculously misleading, telling people to get inside and close blinds and drapes...lol.
My point with all of this is that we have a couple generations of people who have no FEAR of nuclear weapons. They have no grasp of the gravity of what will happen when they're used.
It's an unsurvivable scenario.
And now, something I NEVER imagined in my lifetime, we have World leaders speaking out loud, threatening to use these weapons.
Our White House is controlled by invisible, unelected people, mostly young Harvard and Yale graduates, dictating policy to the dinosaurs who pretend to be in charge in front of the cameras.
And none of these people have a clue as to the gravity of the consequences of using these weapons.
I believe the US will fire the first one. They have this fantasy about "strategic " nuclear weapons that can be used on battlefields.
And that fantasy leads them to believe these smaller attacks will nor lead to full on nuclear Armageddon.
We are teetering on world destruction and the bulk of the population is not concerned.
And that is scary as sh**t.
Young people are more naïve than ever.
Our political class is playing games with our lives, they want us in fear and have no regard for the fact that Russia and China aren't playing games. The people running our country are deranged and dangerous we should have done something years ago, who knows if it's already too late now?
🐤
I'm guessing it's more a matter of age, I grew up with movies like Threads and The Day After. I don't believe the US will drop the first but more likely a proxy like Belarus or NK maybe Iran but it will domino from there leaving all of us in a terrible position envying the ones who died quickly.
I just want to know, what about my cat 🐈 And his 9 lives?

Tell that to the folks who were in Hawaii when the false alarm was given of an incoming strike. They had time to talk to each other.
On the contrary, the lucky one's won't, most of us wouldn't be instantly incinerated but would die a slow, painful death.
Right just hug it out
It doesnt matter who starts it. Once it does start Humanity wont be the same for a long ass time.
You Mean there wont be Anything called humanity left
@@Matty94wrong some people will survive. This theory of every single human will die is retarded.
@@Matty94 Humanity, yes, at least for a while, then our long-term prospects are questionable, but there will not be anything we think of as modern civilization left.
@@mydogskips2The human race is resilient. Our long-term prospects are 100% guaranteed. There are preppers with decades of dried freeze food stored and whatnot. And people improvise. Plus, nature recovers quickly. After a few months into the pandemic, with the city empty, the shores of my neighborhood bay looked pristine, something unimaginable before. So even if nature takes a few years to reverse nuclear winter, lots of people will survive and have kids. We might start over, but we’ll be here for sure.

Came here to say this. She is talking about something that is current, yet still smaller than tsar bomba. Which is fucking terrifying..
@@Bigmac-cy3kd very

What was the over/under on how many times she says book?
And some ICBM's carry 10 warheads. Imagine the coverage area.
I think I'd rather not imagine 10 nuclear warheads unleashed at once. I fear nuclear war as it is
@ryangreyblackhow do you know?
@captainlightpainter lol
@@MrJbfool There are videos that go into great detail regarding both US and Russian nuclear missile capabilities, that is the number of warheads and their explosive yields. From the few videos I saw, most ICBMs carry 4-6 independently targetable warheads of differing yields, and there was no mention of any ICBMs carrying 10, however, it would not surprise me if there were such weapons. That said, I do think it is probably more cost-effective and tactically effective to just build two "standard" ICBMs that carry 5 warheads a piece.
Not fire my dear, PLASMA. Makes good old fire look like a warm shower.

Imagine if we angled this technology towards the stars instead of at each other.
Im thinking that would make us smart instead of stupid.
I know I'm singing with the choir here. And, by way of analogy you are so correct. If the MIC is looking for profits on government projects, a peaceful space program is a great solution and the best part is no one dies pointlessly in carefully contrived war situations because peaceful trade is taking place. Though, I fear this path leaves little option for evil to act out; which is to say an influential amount of the elite that own the commerce and run the west get their jollies from being evil. They have all the morals of Saturday Morning Cartoon Characters who slave away tirelessly to the mantra of : " I'll steal all the gold and rule the world".
It's all connected. You have the start because of the early Nuke research from the 40s, 50s, and 60, and so on.
@@fordshaw5833i agree with you. I appreciate how you started the comment with "singing" to the choir. My whole life ive heard "preaching" to the choir and it never sat well with me. When i was in jr high i would say "singing" to the choir and would be corrected or called stupid, etc. I would simply say, it makes more sense! If that means im stupid then so be it!
We could conquer the galaxy?
@@class2instructor32 lol
I think Castle Bravo was the 15 Megaton screw up. That Lithium 7 mattered!
If I'm not mistaken, the Trident D5 can carry up to a dozen warheads per missile. Multiple warheads decreases the need for one huge one. They are usually in the multi-kiloton range on the Trident. It can carry warheads in the low megaton range, but I think the number of warheads is reduced as the individual weapon's power increases.
She mispoke at 7:30. The Tridents are intercontinental missles. The D5 has a range of up to 7,500 nautical miles, not hundreds of miles. MIRV's can range up to as many as 14 if I am remebering correctly. Those shorter range nukes are conisdered tactical weapons.
MIRV's are tricky, the Russian MIRV's can house up too 16 independent warheads, but 8 of those 16 are dummy warhead designed to obfuscate the true target, they distract the targets missile defense systems making it waste ordnance and time on fakes, while the real warheads travel at supersonic speeds to the actual target.
@@ravenfire77 I think she is talking about the distance of the multiple warheads from each other not the missiles range.
When she said “the nuke that hits DC” I immediately cooooooomed 😂
When she starts talking about the nuclear deterrent (MAD) as "just a theorethical phenomenon" I struggled to pay attention, because that "theorethical phenomenon" has stood the test of time since World War II. There hasn't been a single war between two countries where a nuclear power got attacked. Neither has there been a war between countries where one of them were allied to a nuclear power. Some smaller skirmishes sure, if we count the India-Pakistan situation, but there's never been an all-out war.
MAD is the best peacekeeper ever
@@georgemala4046 So far that’s what history has taught us
There is a war right now - U.S. attacking Russian cities via Ukro-proxies: USANATO plans, USANATO weapons, USANATO recon, USANATO weapons and perhaps even NATO crews. Imagine if Russia gave Iraqis or someone weapons to directly strike U.S. cities, Americans would never allow this for 2 second.
I guess it works until it doesn't.
@@modolief Sure, but you can say that about almost anything
That last quote is interesting in that people don’t need to think about the impact of a nuclear exchange. They can see it in the brilliant book and movie The Road
Annie Jacobsen, I love her voice. I could listen to her talk all night
About bullshit. She knows nothing about. This isn't 1998 the U.S. surpasses everything she says the defenses alone could stop even our adversary without going offensive she can't tell you anything Russia doesn't know
One of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard
Ivy Mike was set up to be "deliverable" as a device. It was actually expected to be about 5MT, but was more like 15MT. Caught the scientists, researchers, and engineers completely by surprise (as well as shipping in the area including the Japanese fishing ship the "Lucky Dragon"). People are forgetting just how awful it would be and if that continues they are so doomed.
She's a realist unlike the Nato soldiers who think there's any chance... ok the public aren't that stupid because we KNOW it's the end.
The futility of this war is more apparent to civilians than it is to soldiers because we actually listened to Annie Jacobsen
What she didn't mention about the MIRV's is that, let's say, one missile that has six warheads, of those six, two could be dummy warheads, two could be nukes, one could contain weaponized smallpox and one could contain anthrax. Yes, both the US and Russia developed biological weapons that can be delivered via ICBM. The books that I have read on this say that Russia developed anthrax and smallpox biologicals that were measured by the METRIC TONS. Right around the time the Soviet Union collapsed, we had a good idea where this stuff was but it disappeared in the late nineties, early 2000's. That and a former Soviet biological weapons engineer who defected to the US said that the Soviets and now the Russians were/are working on genetic engineering of biological weapons. Maybe splice the common cold virus with Ebola and now Ebola goes airborne and is as easy to catch as the common cold. Now that's just as messed up as the nuclear warheads that both the US and Russia have. I learned this when I read the Hot Zone by Richard Preston and from that book, it lead me down a rabbit hole of biological weapons research and development books. Just one more thing to keep you up at night...
Her knowledge is akin to what every student growing up in the 50's and 60's knew. Her mistakes: MIRV = Multiple Individual Reentry Vehicles. And she misses the opportunity to use the term Mutually Assured Destruction, which is what she meant by Deterence. Which actually HAS worked. Sofar.
And the use it or loose it mentality. Once a few get launched both sides launch everything.
@@kc72186 There's a devastating movie from the early atomic age, where, due to a glitch, a US bomber is headed for Moscow to drop a nuke, and there is trouble calling them off their mission. FAIL SAFE. I don't want to spoil it, but it doesn't end like Dr. Strangelove does ('use it or lose it' as you said.) The idea is that deterence will prevent the "Once'".... Peace Out!
M.I.R.V. multiple independent reentry vehicles.
Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles. Same as LASER which is also not 1:1 to its acronym: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
@@kaipirinha8871no, she made a mistake a mental flub. MIRV is an acronym for multiple independent reentry vehicle its from the 1980s. Also LASER, light amplification by stimulated emissions of radiation was not a good comparison for the faux correction you tried to make.

My Pop was too young for WW2 buy just a year or so. He ended up stationed in Japan going over as military police to help with the clean up after the bombs. He never spoke about it, I assume people melted into concrete... he became an alcoholic later in life.
I really hope these stories of UFO's around nuclear silos are true - I think they would be the only things that could stop nukes once launched 😢
Wouldn't that be a wake up for American people
Most UFOs are from the government and the ones that aren't are demonic in nature ! They won't do anything
Knowledge is power. 💡💡💡💡
Nobody thought we could stop the nukes
This is pure evil . Very depressing to even think of this. How can humanity even think of this. Shows how insane we are to create destruction when we should concenntrate on poverty and hunger!!!! We all live on one planet!!!!! What on earth oare we doing?????????😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The humanity that create that is america😂
America like invade other countries right😮😊..you never been invaded...you don't know the feel.
The good thing is that technology has progressed since the 1970s, and most of today's warheads are designed to be airburst so as to maximize blast damage and reduce fallout. I live in South America, and thanks to the Coriolis Effect, fallout won't be an issue for me.
As soon as it hits a 60-80 block radius is vaporized, just hug my Daughter, call my Mom and tell her Thx for the Love and raising me We Dead and accept my fate. Because we can't get to a fallout shelter fast enough we're All Fucked

To a dolt possibly.
Hoooooh
Lord have mercy upon us
In the early 80s, one of my professors said that someone had done a simulation and concluded that we could survive a nuclear war because, apparently, all they did was make a graph of production and consumption and then subtract the factories that were in the larger cities. Concluded there are enough small production facilities scattered around the country so that we could carry on. No other effects taken into account!
Welp, hopefully the Aliens reveal themselves before we get to that point.

Awesome to get a expert ladies perspective on Nuclear War Holocaust, Thank You.
You seem awfully certain that she is, in fact, an expert. What is her degree in? Please read that question carefully before answering it. I'm not asking where it is FROM, I'm asking what it is IN.
Because as I've tried to look that one up, myself. I've found that she seems a little evasive about that one.
I sort of hope that the people who invent these weapons are working on counter measures like making them so they can't be launched.
what fantasy world do you live in
No one seems to worry about War like they did 40 years ago.
O yes they did. What is concerning is that people are so complacent and we are closer to nuclear war than ever before. Putin will do it and GOD has given him a green light to punish the entire world

Thanks for educating people on this topic. Much needed in the age of ignorance… ☮️
We actually have far more than 44 interceptor missiles...she's only speaking of the newest variety that MDA is working on. Navy ships can shoot ballistic missiles out of space, plus we have many other systems to do so as well. Our space-based detection capabilities are growing by the day on top of that. However the point remains the same, at this point anyways...it can still be overwhelmed like any other defensive system. It is still far more capable than she gives it credit for and it is drastically improving with the rise of hypersonic missiles, etc...so we do at least have a fighting chance perhaps. Considering the topic of her research, and her subsequent lack thereof on defensive capabilities..kinda makes the rest of what she says sorta sus as well 🤷♂️. She's been called out for several other things I've seen lately lol
The GMD( ground based, mid course missile, defense) systems are better than most let on. The only problem is being able to decern difference between the real re-entry vehicle and the decoys
@@Simeon301091 I'm ready let's let em fly
I remember in elementary school practicing Duck and Cover there used to be signs on buildings that stated fallout shelter! yellow sign with black diamonds then the Cuban Missile Crisis and the naval blockade! Kennedy assassinated we all thought the war had started and was sent home from school a sheltered childhood!?
Take a look at how many fallout shelters exist now. We’re closer than ever to nuclear war and there’s no place to hide.
You can actually design a thermonuclear bomb to be 1 million times the Hiroshima bomb, it depends on how well you can design it and how many hydrogen bombs you can fit into one. How big your bomb is depends on how much anxiety you have and how much danger you think you are in, the problem is that thermonuclear bombs backfire against the user, you will hit the other guy but you will have no earth surface to live on and no humanity to return to. Let's do the math, Russia's Satan 2 missile has 10 independent warheads each with a yield of 10 megatons, that is 100 megatons in total.
Oppenheimer's fear that the atom bomb would ignite the atmosphere was unfounded. But a big enough H-bomb actually could.

@@cybervigilante i met an engineer that worked with him years ago here in ottawa at nrc. He said first bomb they set off they thought 50/50 the atmosphere might ignite lol. They were not sure. I said yikes.

@@GhostWriter-wt8pb Unless your food and water is contaminated then you're dead as the city people.
The nuclear triad is not redundant. And she’s an expert? Our ICBMs are vulnerable to a first strike. The B-52s, B-1s, and B-2s are as well, but some of them are likely to get off the ground before an incoming warhead destroys them. The 14 Ohio-class subs are the only part of the triad not vulnerable to a first strike. How is it that she doesn’t know this?
She didn't play fallout 3
It’s my understanding that at any time only 1/2 of the 14 Ohio Subs are out on missions while the other half are at port or dry dock. This makes 1/2 of them vulnerable. ~Dr. Peter Vincent Pry
You assume the adversary will strike first. Everything about US military history and foreign policy from the last 78 years arcs towards the US being a most likely nuclear power to adopt a first-strike/pre-emptive posture.
@@Pituqat I don’t assume anything as anything is possible including USA strikingly first. However, that would be Russias best chance of winning a nuclear war against NATO/USA. Russia does believe a nuclear war is winnable, I don’t.
Wrong.
A launch would be noticed immediately and retaliation would be initiated within seconds. It takes about 30 minutes for an ICBM to strike its target from launch.

Hawaii had a real bad scare a few years back when someone accidentally sent out a mass text message that a Nuclear weapon was inbound.

@@user-fg2tj5xo7n Jim Carey spoke about this on an interview.
Well with the hypersonic missiles that N. Korea have which are very difficult to track and therefore intercept..
We will be there soon😄
Nuke interceptors are for an accidental launch, likely feom a submarine. The launcher calls and precosely tell you the path, then you have a good chance of stopping the one nuclear assalt.
Yes. I understand
The only reason the missile interceptor success rate is as high as it is is because we counted the tests against ICBMs in their boost phase, which is completely impractical because the boost phase occurs over the aggressor’s home soil. The success rate against a weapon in its terminal phase is zero because the terminal phase of an ICBM’s warhead is something like 17,000mph and it’s the size of a traffic cone.
Remember "duck and cover"?
@@May_Day45 people make fun of duck and cover because of the perception that it wouldn't be helpful against a nuclear attack. But remember that it was implemented in the late 50s when enemy weapons were far less accurate and less plentiful. If a bomb hit 20 miles from your school and the shockwave caused a significant quake, it sure would suck to die from a ceiling light falling on your head. In today's nuclear warscape, yes, it's a completely futile technique for survival.
@@mackflickerson6722 I'm not making fun of it, sorry I should have emphasized about the way governments give false sense of security to people, but as you said it does serve a purpose and worked in the (I think it was) Chelyabinsk Impact when a school teacher told her class to get under the tables, and it saved them from flying glass.
Fun stuff!
I am 61 years old now and i have studied nuclear weapons with fasination since i was a child, did you know that the soviet union was going to build a nuclear wespon the size of a sea going oil tanker and the entire hull of the ship was going to be fisionable material, (uraniam or plutoniam), this is significant considering that the size of the most devastating part of a city leveler (hydrogen bomb in the megaton range is about the size i believe of a bowling ball, this ship if created by the soviet union was desighned to incorporate sensors that would detect if we were at nuclear war by detecting radiation in the atmosphere causing it to detenate destroying all human life on the planet, the russians thinking was that if the soviets didnt servive noone should but they decided against it because we allready have enough explosive to pretty much destroy all life on the planet, human life that is.🥺

Her voice is so melodious ❤️
Its annoying, without inflection nor emphysis. Its grading and doll.
To a complete moron and ASMR clown, it might be soothing.
The tritium in nuclear weapons decays, so nukes have a shelf life. How many of those Soviet era missiles still work?
Name of the book? I respect what you are doing. I've been trying to wake people up to the possible of what "could" happen to us when we provoke an attack/counterattack.
Think she needs to discuss with some members from New Mexico. There is something that can be done to any ballistic missile shot, the problem with detection of nuke armed one is determined height to intercept / destroy.
Yeah otherwise you’re just EMPing your own country.
*FUN FACT:*
One of WEF supremo Klaus Schwab's early mentors was thermonuclear war theorist Herman Kahn.
Interceptors are point defense against ballistic missiles. It is limited defense. Think about hitting a bullet with a bullet. The interceptor missle is limited defense against rogue states.
Peter Griffin: Trident... It's the only gum my mom lets me chew.
See the movie "the Day After" 1979. The experts measured the devastation portrayed in the movie would be like paradise or idealistic luxury of living compared to the actual effects of only a few nuclear missiles. But thousands at the same time?? Nobody would feel anything and the earth would be a burnt out cinder in less than a few hours.

In a bunker it would be at least over 150°. More like 15000°

She should be selling her book at cost, because money in the future won't matter because... "Our Nuke Interceptor Missiles Won't Save Us From a Nuclear Holocaust." Also I suggest buying the book "Merchants of Doom." 🙂
It depends how a major nuke war plays out, but this pod cast basically isn't true. The Nuclear Triad without it turning into say a WWIII is based on dinial of space, and taking out enemy targets that launch them. The idea is that you defend a space you want to protect and lets say your enemy has 100 sites, with in the first hour you would reduce that down to 10 sites and so on. reducing the amount of nukes every shot. The 2nd phase of this is to smash nuke while they are in outer space before making there finial trun. Thats with missiles and interceptors. The unknown future is if they can ever figure out long range Laser, well that future looks alot different. Anyways the inerceptors hit at a much higher percentage it's in the 90%, the issue is building thousands of them which we don't have enough yet, by choice of course. The Thade System, covers high altitude long range and the Patriot system covers miduem range. I would never waste my time buying a book, that really isn;t current old OLD NEWS. If the sky falls you can't stop it but, you can possible survive and that is where you might want to learn skills. If your in a city your dead. Although most countries won't waste Nukes on cities, they will go after stratigic targets first. That certainly could be large cities. But Power grids are more important.
Is she selling a book?
😂😂😂
Finally someone with brains 🙏🙏👍👍
They aren't there to stop a major attack there to minimise damage and save lives from a major attack they could probably stop a 1 missile attack etc
People need to think about West Antarctica and its inevitable collapse.
QUESTION : Why would someone would want to start a nuclear war ?
I don't think we could keep this up. It would be a miracle if we survive a thousand years.
does she work for the mic?
@13:14 no no no THIS IS SPARTA!!!!
