Why can’t war be fought between leaders in a boxing match, where they themselves can only die?
there america would lose from Russia :)
I whole heartedly agree with you!
Because alien=angelic critters are pulling the strings and they want human destruction.
For real when a war pops off that’s caused by the damn politicians we the ones who pay the price while they go and hide in bunkers like cowards
Very true.. King David did the fighting..
This has aged terrifyingly well
But our wars were cool zzzzz
I just feel bad for all of the citizens that has to go through this
This video never gets old , gives me chills everytime I watch
We back again in it right now
They didn’t even talk about Russian weapons. Russian weapons are far more destructive and they have largest stockpile. They also have large delivery systems like Sarmat. NATO will be erased from earth in a war.
After this war, prepare to fight the next war with stones & sticks.

On Wednesday 14 September 2022 I saw a B22 type plane patrolling up and down the east coast of Scotland at a very low altitude.
"We can put this aircraft anywhere we want anytime we like".... REALLY???
As long as it is not Russia or China.
Don’t have to go there for us to put our missiles down there.
Russia has an extensive landmass, therefore if we strike them..then %100 we anticipate to get hit back. And they cover 1/4 of earth landmass, they don't need planes or carriers: just ICBMS to reach.
No need to use bombers to put missiles on either side. As a matter of fact I'm tempted to say that in a way, the use of bombers is an obsolete nuclear strategy. First of all radars through satellite communications can detect everything on either side. Second, the latest nuclear delivery missile systems fly at a hypersonic speed. At least Russia possess them, the US is still lagging behind on that technology. Obviously this documentary is from 2016.
They can
@@Preston_C. Not to mentions hypersonic ones based on submarines patrolling the US coasts.

I may have guarded that same plane in 71 at Barksdale.
the uk sure does have alot of nukes for such a small island😮
The Uk and France don't stand a chance in a nuclear war. America is big chances is some of us will survive "
The hypocrisy is off the chart
Russia has more nuclear weapons than US they didn't give green to few ICBMs which could change the peace scenario not so peaceful. Usa was and is obsessed with russia,they don't anyone to superior, the obsession has already led to jihadis and, war in the middle East. Russia too doesn't want to back down either.

They have the stealth B2 and a few other nuclear capable aircraft. Nobody can top that.

Well put. We need more programs like this.
Programs like this don't make money. Fewer and fewer people watch television anymore
During the cold war I was a radarman aboard the USS Watchman (Long ago decommissioned) which was in a squadron of radar picket ships. We were the seaward extension of the North American Defense Command. There was one on the East coat also. We reported incoming (to the US) aircraft to the Air force on the West Coast. There were 5 stations that were about 500 miles out which were 25 mi in diameter that we floated around in for 30 to 40 days until we were relieved and returned home to Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. During time in the northern most stations we would regularly track B52s coming (we assumed) out of North Dakota. As they left the west coast they turned northwest and were soon out of our coverage. They would eventually return and another would soon appear on the same westerly track. We assumed they were headed to Russia. One day there were two rather than one....we knew something had changed. I am an old Man this was long ago ...1962...I was 22 years old. If my memory serves me right those two B52s became 3 B52s. We eventually learned of the Cuban Missile crisis.
Thanks 4 sharing your memories w/us. Please consider memorializing them in a video that you could upload to You Tube. I & every other history geek in the world would be thrilled/grateful🤗
Good Job! Yeah, they constantly flying and refueling those B-52s so they couldn't all be taken out on the ground. Amazing times!
So USA 🇺🇸 was about to use nuclear weapons again in Russia 🇷🇺 after Japan 🇯🇵? WoW so who is the “killer” Russia or USA
I remember watching-on black and white small screen-the Cuban Missile Crisis develop. I had just been released from Active Duty after being extended for the Berlin Crisis. My uniforms were hanging in the closet, I had been a 1st LT on an LST and had been teaching Combat Loading with a joint command at the Amphib Base in Coronado. I was sure my phone was going to ring: "The President hereby orders you to active duty." By the grace of God, no call.
Such a trash is not needed in modern world. Did you hear about satellites ?
Perfect timing on the reccomend bois
Russia didn't invade Crimea, they held a referendum and something like 90% voted to return to Russia....... so they did, big deal!!!

That after, US helped coup toppled democratically government in Ukraine

The big question is: Is a "limited" nuclear war possible? In the 1970s we had the strategy of "mutual escalation". That means You don't start the war with a big target and You don't use all of Your weapons, but You start with a small amount of missiles and destroy at first minor targets. Then You "escalate" by destroying targets with higher and higher priority - step by step. The clue behind it was to get time for negotiations and stop it right on time - before the apocalypse. But even our smartest experts never knew if this would really work as planned.
Yes you are right
I honestly don’t think the people in control really understand how devastating nuclear weapons are, there talked about like a regular bomb, I think the sooner the people in control can truly give the respect that these weapons truly deserve the better off the world would be, cause in the mind of most people familiar with nukes, you know to talk about them and the actual idea of one going off in lines you with almost certain death, it’s like being put in front of a firing squad and waiting for the sound of that bang, then your lights go out, and at the end of day the simple people like me writing this, we are the ones that get used like sheep, the wealthy can run and hide and live, it’s wrong we need to stand up now people, come together military and all no more foolishness, I love life and love people, so who’s wars would it be.
They understand PERFECTLY. Reagan was warned about it. That’s the only reason there have been no nuclear attacks by the super powers.

Wasn’t Iraq a sovereign nation when we invaded? Those pesky old double standards.
Tactical nukes can be smaller and more localized as well as different payloads. Thermo nuclear, radiation bombs and EMP’s. They don’t have to be 50 megaton. They can be a fraction of that.
Doesn’t look like we’ve changed our positions on nuclear weapons either.
What right does this fellow have to be arbitrarily snuffing out human lives in the first place?
Remember, Iraq invaded Kuwait and we were trying to get that back.
@@johnl2727 That was the first Iraq war. The US and allies only kicked Iraq out of Kuwait that time, they didn't invade Iraq itself. The second Iraq war was about WMD's that were never found. It did not have the blessing of the UN like the first war did.

Crimea did have a referendum and voted for joining Russia.

They're taunting eachother to strike first... That's literally all this is... They know whoever strikes first loses their entire regime.
The journalist from 60 Minutes looks genuinely surprised when he learns that Russian military doctrine has provisions that allow for the use of their nuclear weapons.
So does U.S. military doctrine. So do the military doctrines of India, Pakistan, France, China, U.K., and probably Israel.
Did he think a nation would have nuclear weapons and not have them be included in their military doctrine?
US is the only country to use nukes against civilians.
The Japanese assumed that the Americans had no stomach for a prolonged war and would be glad to sue for peace once the struggle became very bloody. They were wrong.
Interesting to watch this now.
I'm not sure it would be wise for either side to develop nuclear weapons that are less perplexing to use. Such an exchange would be in danger of rapid escalation. The use of any nuclear weapon has to remain unthinkable.
It's never unthinkable, look at Japan. This was fired by a democratic country. Putin is a mentally deranged cold killing psychopath ruthless dictator. He won't bat an eyelid when he's pressing those buttons. In fact he'll probably be smiling.

I was a B-52 pilot in the 69-73 period. Crews were on 24/7/365 alert status. When our time came to be on alert we received our mission information. We were to cross the Atlantic, drop to 500 ft altitude and drop 2 nuclear bombs on targets near Moscow. Other airplanes, missiles and submarines had similar missions across the world, attacking targets in Russia, China and other countries. Assuming we survived the mission (which wouldn’t happen in my opinion) we were to fly to the desert in N Africa where we would be refueled, rearmed and given new targets. It is necessary insanity and it is standard operating procedure today in the Us, Russia and China, as well as the other nuclear powers.
Today, one rocket from Russia will destroy the entire British islands.
Thank you for your servce to keep America safe!🇺🇸
@@virtualpilgrim8645 That’s probably true. Each ICBM has as many as 10 independently targetable warheads. Of course, we have the same.
My dad flew B52’s with nuclear weapons in the Cold War and Commanded new pilots in Strategic Air Command (among other wars). He loves those B52’s. They’re the most feared bomber in the world. What they are saying here is exactly what’s going on in Ukraine right now. We CAN’T BACK DOWN.

So there saying that Russia would use nuclear weapons to protect them self from destruction.
They had to find a specialist to come up with this brilliant idea wow.
You get all kinds of similar things today. I take it that the same kind of specialist found the US democracy so fragile that it can be endangered by adverts on social media.
They say Russia would start using nukes against the US if they found they were in a conventional war because the US is weak and scared and wouldn't retaliate. In reality the US would respond by vaporizing all of Russia and Russia would do the same. It's called MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction).

To represent a nuclear shark predator maybe 🤔
It’s a special antenna. The purpose of which I’ll leave to your imagination.
To just compare throw weights, and the delivery platforms, is too simplistic. I'd rather oppose a nation with twice our stockpile that had no other advanced systems and no advanced decoy (drones). The point is, we'd have a fair chance at avoiding trouble if an errant launch went off, or a lone dictator took a 'pot shot' at us...But a nation about equal to us would sadly be able to do to us what we could do to them. This MAD situation has prevented world wars, but can it continue forever??

So true.
Crimea was Russian, is Russian and will remain Russian as long as there are majority ethnic Russians living in the peninsula. It is a paradox how a country that wants to be seen as "democratic" like the US, doesn't respect the democratic choice of the majority of the Crimean population to reunite with Russia. What is even more hypocritical is that the democratically elected Ukrainian government was overthrown with money and assistance from Washington in order to set up another European puppet unelected government that just in the last year was encouraged and is responsible for the slaughtered ethnic Russians in the east of the country (women and children included) including 7 Russian journalists. US is turning into a satanic kleptocratic dictatorship destroying the same principles that made it a great country at one point of time.
You're the idiot that can't string a simple sentence together. You should wake up and properly research what is going on the world from different points of views. Russia did not force the people to do anything. Ukraine was on the brink of civil war and Russia moved in to protect the people of Crimea who are Russian.
As I said read a little get some sources and facts together for yourself from various sources. And don't call people on things you don't understand yourself dumb. It makes you sound very unintelligent and unable to respond with a proper argument.
every country should kick out US military bases, intelligence services, etc. US should defend there own borders. UN resolution confining US military service and personnel to US.

If we are not prepared to use are most dangerous weapons we may as well save the money it takes to to maintain them. Whatever deterrence they have exists because our enemies believe we will use them!

Get that dude a glass of water. Dry mouth crackling was brutal
Haven't seen the video here, but there is one little thing I do know. You can compare nuclear forces and come to some conclusions about their relative capabilities, but they do not compete against each other or fight each other. They deliver nuclear bombs to targets. Even if there is a defense, any successes an attacking force has will erode that defense. Eventually, it will be bombs away for both sides and everything on either power's target list will be a smoking ruin. It's guaranteed.
Even one nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day.
Hiroshima was restored in two years. Radiation levels decreased by over 80% in 24 hours and the city was habitable. That was with 1945 nuclear bomb technology. Nuclear weapons are probably less destructive than you imagine.
Also russian guided munitions can't hit jack. Over 60% of their surface attack missiles fail to hit thier target, not including the ones that are shot down.

All these guys and beyond them must sit down and watch again very carefully the movie "The Day After" by Nicholas Meyer.
I lived through the Cold War and remember waking up one day in 1983 and seeing on the news Soviet tanks ready for battle, and wondered what's going on. We, the public, didn't know at that time how close the USSR got to launching a full nuclear strike after they mistakenly believed we would do so first. I was hoping I'd already be dead before this ever became an issue again.
Here's a documentary on TH-cam about it (that scared the crap out of me) called "Able Archer 1983: Brink Of Apocalypse" th-cam.com/video/tPit2BGNKwo/w-d-xo.html For those alive at that time keep in mind, this really happened and it was VERY close more times than one.

in hindsight, this should relieve you. when the world powers were at their utmost highest alerts and most willingness to annihilate each other. they chose to NOT launch. both sides saw NO benefit.... both sides saw no victory. and now, almost 30 years later. this mentality has only grown more passive. even though the russian's may see the west as weaker mentally. they also know there is a line they can't cross. it's basic common sense. if the west feels their end is eminent. they WILL respond in kind. and russia is more than aware that the west is vastly more protected against nuclear weapons' than russia can even come close to.
as a USAF officer retired, i can say that the US and western entities feel as though we could counter at least half, if not more. of russian ICBM's and SLBM's. thus, for every 10 missiles russia launches. most will never hit their targets. and yes, those missiles that do make it to their targets will be devastating. it will pail to compare to what russia will face. while the west will see several major cities decimated. russia will be no more, period. we know this... russia knows this. and that is exactly why no ww3 will ever happen. you see, while russia must fire upon many nations in europe, asia and north america. ALL of the response from the those will be not only focused on russia. but focused on western russia. the hub of it's economic and industrial complexes. all that will be left of russia. is a great oil reserve open one day AFTER the radiation levels have come down to safe levels. and the only thing left of russia, is what we find in the nonfiction section of a library or online web sight.

"Russia invading an independent nation" oh kinda like how the US. Did in Vietnam in the 60s And Iraq in 1990 and 2003 and Afghanistan in 2001?
How would a national leader that would use ANY nuke stop at "limited" use if facing military defeat and regime change?
Power is a powerful thing
