Albert Einstein noted, “Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap.” We humans have created the equivalent of a mousetrap for ourselves. And we’ve constructed tens of thousands of them over the seven decades of the Nuclear Age.
that makes me think that there’s definitely some sort of or a few external beings running this world, what human would think “ahhh let’s create a bomb that could wipe the whole earth!”and keep it going for generations to come. These people have to be completely deranged/psychotic or we are DNA planted by Aliens who are using the world and human civilisation as a test project. We could be in the world where they’ve tried to run a planet, kinda failed and we just keep getting reset.
@Jacob Klein Nothing we can do about it, we just gotta keep living until they decide they're stronger than the earth itself and end all life at the push of a button.
Not really lol Using nukes to take out your enemy’s is like literally shooting yourself in the head. What’s the point? You’d get nothing. There are MANY other ways to destroy another country. MANY forms of war. Nukes exist so no one would use them. It’s insurance.
It depresses me to know that this scenario could become real every second. All the opportunity that humanity misses. Explore space, cure diseases, develop new technologies that simplify all our lives. What a shame

Here is the thing. I have been hearing about MAD since I was a child in the early 1970s. Back then we regularly had "duck and cover" drills. The saying was "If you see the flash, duck and cover". Looking back, that was absurd, if you see a flash, you are dead. Since I live in California, we had the same drill for earthquakes. Every Pentecostal church back then used MAD to preach about the prophecies of Revelation. Why would you terrify kids by preaching that in Sunday school? Yet, that went on every Sunday. People built bomb shelters. A big selling point in the early 1970s was a Civil Defense approved home. Alot of bigger buildings in the city advertised their fallout shelters. By the time I was a teenager in the late 1970s and early 1980s people were fed up with the saber rattling bulls*** if it happens, there is little anyone can do. But life must go on in the meantime. People stopped talking about it. Churches stopped preaching about MAD. Homeowners stopped maintaining their bomb shelters. In fact, my buddy Mike turned his family's bomb shelter into a party den. We used to sit in there and smoke weed while listening to Led Zeppelin on 8 track. At 57 years old I am still in the same mindset, I have a life to live. If a nuclear strike ends my life, its been a wonderful 57 years. We never talked about nuclear war to our daughters and we never mention it to our grandkids. Your life needs to go on to. Every minute you consider a nuclear attack is a minute you could have been reading something inspirational. While I was typing this I was listening to Pink Floyd's Division Bell. I love music
Growing up in the 90's, nuclear war was something we hardly heard about at all as kids. When the Berlin wall came down the Cold War was over, and with it any serious threat of nuclear war. Nuclear superpowers started actually reducing their stockpiles. Sure, there were occasional concerns of rogue nations getting their hands on nukes, but overall, it seemed like the chances of a major nuclear war ever happening were basically nil. It was surreal to me when the invasion of Ukraine happened and suddenly the news started talking about the return of the Cold War and even the possibility of WW3. I got pretty stressed, but ultimately I came to the same conclusion as you: we have to live our lives and not be ruled by our fear.
@@philw3039 Absolutely. Something that is seldom mentioned is Russia’s citizens also living in fear of nuclear annihilation.

The truest danger in this is not the means or ways: the truest danger is in the why...if your enemy thinks he can 'get away' with an attack now, but might not later, he may choose to risk everything on a momentary window of opportunity. Meanwhile, if he feels that his peer is too frightened...or just unable...he may push the boundaries of threat further to allow actions that normally would be too risky.
My guess is that as soon as Ukraine pushes towards Crimea it will all happen. Even if it doesn't lead to mutually assuree destruction, it will lead to at the least the loss of tens of thousands of military personell or hundreds of thousands/few million civillians.

I have been learning about the Cold War for my examinations and one of the key concepts we needed to know was MAD. It's interesting because there are two sides to the argument for having nuclear weapons. One is that nuclear weapons can lead to mass destruction as seen in Japan due to Fat Man and Little Boy atomic bombs released by the US. However, the other side of the argument is that having nuclear weapons is a deterrent if two nations have nuclear weapons and go to war, it would lead to MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) as both nations would receive significant damage despite the outcome of the war. This was one of the main reasons why the USA and the USSR did not want to have a direct war with each other and is probably one of the reasons why currently the West does not want to directly face or attack Russia's forces invading Ukraine. This is why the USA and USSR had proxy wars in nations such as Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Technically the conflict in Ukraine is some sort of a proxy war. The West supplies weapons to the Ukraine forces while Russia and her allies support the Russian rebels in Eastern Ukraine and also Russian forces are attacking Ukraine.

Good luck on your exams. I think you've got it all down....The US / Vietnam War, is basically the same thing in reverse as is happening today in Ukraine....Russia supplied the weapons to the Vietnamese, who were fighting the US. It's a very dangerous game to play !!!
@@TheMormonPower @Alex Safyre Yes it indeed was. That is why the superpowers were very careful to avoid an all-out war. Direct communication is key which is why they ended up having a direct communication line between Washington and Moscow, known famously as the "Hotline". In my course, we focussed more on Cold War relations between the superpowers and we learnt about the Hungarian Uprising and the Prague Spring as well as the Berlin Wall. Also, just wanted to say that I finished my Cold War final exam yesterday :) Hopefully, I get the grade I want😁 Thanks for the comment. It made my day!
FYI the names of the bombs were LITTLE BOY & FAT MAN, not little boy and big boy I really hope they haven't changed history so much that political correctness has extended to the names of the two most seminal nuclear devices ever created. If that's the case, then the first plane which dropped little boy on Hiroshima is going to be changed from the Enola Gay to the Enola identifies as a gay airplane 🤣

Hi infographics. I’m starting to get nervous you guys have some insight into the future and are just letting us know well in advanced. That’s all. Thank you.
Bro, what will Happen if it's Real. Then Nuclear Winter will arrive, there will be no food etc. Both Rich and Poor will starve due to Lack of food, water, and other resources. Even if Some People Manage to Survive, they are Likely to Suffer from all kinds of Diseases like Cancer etc or maybe even New Diseases will be Born, imagine seeing your Loved Ones covered in BLOOD!!! That Would be Horrific. So Please Understand the Magnitude of Destruction and Pain it will Cause. No Internet, no PS5 no electricity, nothing. People then will Basically FIGHT for Food to Survive. Just like what Happened in China due to Harsh Lockdowns, people were not Getting Food, so they Basically Acted like ANIMALS Fighting for Food and all other Necessary Commodities. This will Happened anywhere, one Second ONE NUCLEAR BOMB will Change the FATE OF HUMANITY. 🇮🇳
@@iamWATCHINGYOUUU i think world war 3 would be great because humans got the chance to focus on the essentials (surviving and not playing the whole day videogames etc.). In addition humans would think more about death, the sense of life and religious topics.
1:52 a nuclear weapon might not sink all ships as the US themselves tried sinking their own Iowa class Battleship with a nuclear weapon. It didn't sink the first time so they tried it again. When that failed they sent every available Battleships, including another Ohio class to shoot at it for several days. It sunk when a bomb landed a direct hit on deck and blew up. Although I will not disagree against a concussion or death by nearby nuclear detonation.
None of the Iowa-class battleships were used in nuclear bomb tests. All four Iowa-class ships served for years afterwards and are now preserved. However, a number of other battleships and warships were used, including. There is no such thing as an Ohio-class battleship. The only battleship named Ohio was a Maine-class ship scrapped in 1922. USS Arkansas was the only battleship successfully sunk by a nuclear weapon. This was an underwater test where USS Arkansas was close enough to the epicenter to have her hull crushed by the shockwave through the water.
We in Greece have a very appropriate quote dating back in ancient times ; " One human can be to another the same as a pack of wolves " .

It’s crazy to think that when I was little those triangular planes were always so cool to me. Now that I know they’re mostly for nukes, that terrifies me.
How do you know they are mostly for nukes? This just is not true. To my knowledge the b 2 has never fired a nukes outside of testing (I don't even know if it has fired one at a range or not). So yes it may have been built to deal with the soviet union and has massive nuclear capabilities, but to say that beautiful bird is mostly for nukes doesn't give it credit for the massive combat capabilities it has provide us and out allies over the decades without dropping a single nuke
@@PulsingKrugotvoid its primary role was as a nuclear bomber. It just hasnt been used in that role yet because there hasnt been a nuclear war yet. So the airforce repurposes and uses the B2 to drop conventional ordnance.
And yet, those people weilding the weapons don't really think about the fact that we regular people don't want to be nuked, it's the political equivalent to being caught in the crossfire between two arguing nuts firing their guns vaguely at each other...
While M.A.D. sounds insane. I believe it actually helps prevent wars. The time between WWI & WWII is pretty short. The time between WWII & WWIII has been much longer. Even if we eventually DO become involved in WWIII, I believe it would have happened years ago if we didn't have the prospect of nuclear weapons on the horizon. Too many countries still feel that they need to conquer other countries to gain ground and people, and to continue to grow. Without the threat & deterrence of a possible nuclear war, we would have been fighting off those 'conquerors' at our borders constantly ... like swatting at mosquitoes. Nuclear weapons are a horrible prospect, and hopefully we will never have to resort to them, but I firmly believe that has been the reason for no WORLD war for almost 80 years (hopefully that streak will continue and sane countries will continue to fear the use of nuclear weapons! 🙏)
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
There are in fact 3 B-52 bombers each equipped with 30 long range nuclear tipped misses capable of striking into Russia 1500 miles in the air right now. These planes are rotated every 12 hours I think. This patrol was re started with one B-52 with the invasion of Crimea then upgraded to 3 planes with the attempted takeover of Ukraine. NATO has planes to beef up its Rapid Deployment Force form 40,000 troops to 300,000; I huge increase.

Yes, I know, being at a SAC bomber base during the Cold and Vietnam 🇻🇳 wars 50 plus years ago. The Alert crews were on duty to run to the bombers in shelters if called to take off.
Um, yea, infographics, hi! The US carrier that was blown up in the initial nuke launch was sovereign US territory too, not just the base at Pearl Harbor. Just because it's floating doesn't mean it isn't considered US territory
This is actually an interesting idea. If Russia launched nukes against countries not aligned with the US would we retaliate or just let it happen as long as its not us?
We have treaties with our allies, nato, japan, south korea so on and so on that an attack on them equates an attack on us to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. We would almost assuredly not let that go.
One thing that makes my head spin every time I think about it: We see how insane, broken and downright useless the Russian vehicles are. Yes, a few modern devices. But tons and tons of old, useless stuff. So the question is: if the modern Russian army is in such a bad state... in what situation is the nuclear arsenal?
I would say IMO much of what we "see" isn't exactly the way things are. Yes, Russia has the GDP of Italy, but if they are such a broken-down military why does Europe need the US to step in again?

if your mutually assured destruction plan fails and you survive the nuclear holocaust of your country against all odds, the failure of mutually assured destruction should also be mutual. it's only fair that they too are unable to retaliate against your nuclear revenge next time.
It’s scary that the safety of mutual assured destruction will go out the window with the creation of hypersonic weapons. I’m not too into the topic but it seems some countries already have begun testing these missiles
@@whateveryoulikeilike6475 I mean tbh, I always considered nukes useless. Why I don't worry about nuclear war. Not like warnings will be accurate and not everyone prepares for Armageddon. They are not used at all and are just scare tactics. Any stronger country I hope are smart enough not to use em. Weaker countries can just be countered like iran.
The issue with MAD as a policy of deterrence is that it only takes one rogue actor for a catastrophic chain reaction - Support global nuclear dearmament.
Remember those two submarine captains who almost started Nuclear war due to miscommunication? So, so close. If the third captain verified the launch, Humanity would’ve been annihilated.
Hey could you do a video on how many satellites above the earth how many are ours how many are our enemies what threats they pose the counter measures that we’re ready for the possible weapons that no one knows about.

@@rokouchiha5259 I clicked the link in the video description about conflict of nations WW3 and it gave me exactly what it say it would. Not a scam at all!
The only hitch in this doctrine is if either side believes they can survive a counter attack. Difficult, extremely difficult, but doable. All it would take is one mentally unstable person to say "do it". And hopefully there are people, or some people around to say nope. That is how MAD works,
Scenario 1 Nuclear guys: Okay, we are using this against innocent people. Missle: Finally, I can do this! People: No! Scenario 2 Nuclear guys: Okay, we are using this cuz we can. Missle: Well I ain't coming back for a while. Nuclear guys: LAUNCH THE MISSLE TO OUTER SPACE! Meanwhile on the Asteroid: Uh oh.
Correction. Nuclear silos can withstand direct nuclear hits and still retaliate. So the last part of your video is incorrect. Subs aren't used for first strike. They are used for long term continuous follow up strikes over months or years after the initial exchange. Read U.S. nuclear doctrine.

Good luck on your exams. I think you've got it all down....The US / Vietnam War, is basically the same thing in reverse as is happening today in Ukraine....Russia supplied the weapons to the Vietnamese, who were fighting the US. It's a very dangerous game to play !!!
@@TheMormonPower @Alex Safyre Yes it indeed was. That is why the superpowers were very careful to avoid an all-out war. Direct communication is key which is why they ended up having a direct communication line between Washington and Moscow, known famously as the "Hotline". In my course, we focussed more on Cold War relations between the superpowers and we learnt about the Hungarian Uprising and the Prague Spring as well as the Berlin Wall. Also, just wanted to say that I finished my Cold War final exam yesterday :)
Hopefully, I get the grade I want😁
Thanks for the comment. It made my day!
FYI the names of the bombs were LITTLE BOY & FAT MAN, not little boy and big boy
I really hope they haven't changed history so much that political correctness has extended to the names of the two most seminal nuclear devices ever created. If that's the case, then the first plane which dropped little boy on Hiroshima is going to be changed from the Enola Gay to the Enola identifies as a gay airplane 🤣
Conventional bombing of Japan in WW2 was far more destructive than the atomic bombs.
Little boy A-Bomb is the commentator for the H-Bomb today.

Hi infographics. I’m starting to get nervous you guys have some insight into the future and are just letting us know well in advanced. That’s all. Thank you.
I love these nuclear war scenario videos! Keep up the good work
Bruh.... you have a dangerous affinity towards videos of a kind
Me too I just hope our government leaders and politicians are watching too, hsve you seen the movie The Day After?
Scenarios?
Bro, what will Happen if it's Real. Then Nuclear Winter will arrive, there will be no food etc. Both Rich and Poor will starve due to Lack of food, water, and other resources. Even if Some People Manage to Survive, they are Likely to Suffer from all kinds of Diseases like Cancer etc or maybe even New Diseases will be Born, imagine seeing your Loved Ones covered in BLOOD!!! That Would be Horrific. So Please Understand the Magnitude of Destruction and Pain it will Cause. No Internet, no PS5 no electricity, nothing. People then will Basically FIGHT for Food to Survive. Just like what Happened in China due to Harsh Lockdowns, people were not Getting Food, so they Basically Acted like ANIMALS Fighting for Food and all other Necessary Commodities. This will Happened anywhere, one Second ONE NUCLEAR BOMB will Change the FATE OF HUMANITY. 🇮🇳
@@iamWATCHINGYOUUU i think world war 3 would be great because humans got the chance to focus on the essentials (surviving and not playing the whole day videogames etc.). In addition humans would think more about death, the sense of life and religious topics.
9/11 was such a huge deal. And that was just two buildings. The idea of nuclear war is terrifying
1:52 a nuclear weapon might not sink all ships as the US themselves tried sinking their own Iowa class Battleship with a nuclear weapon. It didn't sink the first time so they tried it again. When that failed they sent every available Battleships, including another Ohio class to shoot at it for several days. It sunk when a bomb landed a direct hit on deck and blew up. Although I will not disagree against a concussion or death by nearby nuclear detonation.
Depends on the size of the nuclear bomb. The ones we used were nowhere near like Fat Boy or Tsar Bomba.
None of the Iowa-class battleships were used in nuclear bomb tests. All four Iowa-class ships served for years afterwards and are now preserved. However, a number of other battleships and warships were used, including. There is no such thing as an Ohio-class battleship. The only battleship named Ohio was a Maine-class ship scrapped in 1922. USS Arkansas was the only battleship successfully sunk by a nuclear weapon. This was an underwater test where USS Arkansas was close enough to the epicenter to have her hull crushed by the shockwave through the water.
Plus the made in China ships will sink by themselves before the nuke even reaches them.
Well that was f*cking terrifying! I needed cheering up today! Thanks for the video!!! :D
That's some weird cheering up haha
@@meloney Anyone who sees this today will probably have depression for years.
We in Greece have a very appropriate quote dating back in ancient times ; " One human can be to another the same as a pack of wolves " . The MAD doctorine is the first and last line of defense humanity has against a full blown nuclear conflict . If it were even a tiny bit possible for countries such as the US , Russia , China etc to circumvent around the UN's legislation about the use of nuclear and biological weapons ... heh , we wouldn't be here debating about the issue . No SALT treaties , no proxy wars , nothing could possibly stop the use of WMD's on a worldscale level . Most of times , I'm afraid of what happens if we the people don't fight back . Now ... , now I'm afraid of what happens if we do ...
I am Greek, and I've never heard that quote. Is it said in some specific parts of our country or have I been living under a rock the whole time? 😅

It’s crazy to think that when I was little those triangular planes were always so cool to me. Now that I know they’re mostly for nukes, that terrifies me.
ok wimp
Wuss
How do you know they are mostly for nukes? This just is not true. To my knowledge the b 2 has never fired a nukes outside of testing (I don't even know if it has fired one at a range or not). So yes it may have been built to deal with the soviet union and has massive nuclear capabilities, but to say that beautiful bird is mostly for nukes doesn't give it credit for the massive combat capabilities it has provide us and out allies over the decades without dropping a single nuke
No they're mostly used for regular bombs. The number of times a nuke has been dropped over an enemy is 2 and those done with regular B-29 bombers.
@@PulsingKrugotvoid its primary role was as a nuclear bomber. It just hasnt been used in that role yet because there hasnt been a nuclear war yet. So the airforce repurposes and uses the B2 to drop conventional ordnance.
Am I the only one that has noticed infographic posting lots of WW3 nuclear videos lately
And yet, those people weilding the weapons don't really think about the fact that we regular people don't want to be nuked, it's the political equivalent to being caught in the crossfire between two arguing nuts firing their guns vaguely at each other...
The acronym is MAD for a reason
By the way conflict of nations is absolutely amazing
Lets pray no one's MAD enough to put this to the test.
@@gigacanno750are you MAD not liking?
@@crossfire1122 Ah, puns like these help me thing we're all not spiraling to our demise.
Can’t lie I agree, or are we both…..
MAD?
While M.A.D. sounds insane. I believe it actually helps prevent wars. The time between WWI & WWII is pretty short. The time between WWII & WWIII has been much longer. Even if we eventually DO become involved in WWIII, I believe it would have happened years ago if we didn't have the prospect of nuclear weapons on the horizon. Too many countries still feel that they need to conquer other countries to gain ground and people, and to continue to grow. Without the threat & deterrence of a possible nuclear war, we would have been fighting off those 'conquerors' at our borders constantly ... like swatting at mosquitoes. Nuclear weapons are a horrible prospect, and hopefully we will never have to resort to them, but I firmly believe that has been the reason for no WORLD war for almost 80 years (hopefully that streak will continue and sane countries will continue to fear the use of nuclear weapons! 🙏)
100% agree.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thanks bro, you made me smile despite having depression
Thank you
I love happy go lucky videos like this 💞
more like mad go bad
Yes, nuclear war would be MAD and MUS (mutually assured stupidity). Wishing and hoping for peace in Ukraine and everywhere else.
ITS NOT MUS!!
@@thecoolcarhd4402 throwing nuclear weapons at each other is pretty much mutually assured stupidity tho.
There are in fact 3 B-52 bombers each equipped with 30 long range nuclear tipped misses capable of striking into Russia 1500 miles in the air right now. These planes are rotated every 12 hours I think. This patrol was re started with one B-52 with the invasion of Crimea then upgraded to 3 planes with the attempted takeover of Ukraine. NATO has planes to beef up its Rapid Deployment Force form 40,000 troops to 300,000; I huge increase.
Basically mutually assured destruction is if I'm going to die I'm going to take you with me literally

I hope these predictions from the Infographics show don't become reality, otherwise we only could see another video from them in a parallel universe, thanks guys for the good info you provide here
Imagine living on a cruise ship with 300 people onboard and it's completely rigged with C4. Only 6 idiots would have the trigger and they're all angry at each other...
Yes, I know, being at a SAC bomber base
during the Cold and Vietnam 🇻🇳 wars 50
plus years ago.
The Alert crews were on duty to run to the
bombers in shelters if called to take off.
Um, yea, infographics, hi! The US carrier that was blown up in the initial nuke launch was sovereign US territory too, not just the base at Pearl Harbor. Just because it's floating doesn't mean it isn't considered US territory
Feel bad for the survivors
Survivors can share processed cheese with the cockroaches. Enjoy 😉.
This is actually an interesting idea. If Russia launched nukes against countries not aligned with the US would we retaliate or just let it happen as long as its not us?
Most probably the US wouldn't risk getting into a no winner war for countries that aren't aligned with it so most likely they'll not interfere
Idk ask joe
We would allow it to happen
We have treaties with our allies, nato, japan, south korea so on and so on that an attack on them equates an attack on us to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. We would almost assuredly not let that go.
If Joe's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan doesn't tell you the answer, I don't know what will.
One thing that makes my head spin every time I think about it:
We see how insane, broken and downright useless the Russian vehicles are. Yes, a few modern devices. But tons and tons of old, useless stuff.
So the question is: if the modern Russian army is in such a bad state... in what situation is the nuclear arsenal?
Sure but it's not worth the risk to find out lol
I would say IMO much of what we "see" isn't exactly the way things are. Yes, Russia has the GDP of Italy, but if they are such a broken-down military why does Europe need the US to step in again?
@@armadillotoe Because Europe has been slacking off on its military. Relying on the US for years
Bro the Russians were always ahead and are still ahead in rocketries remember the tsar bomba the biggest nuclear bomb ever built?
In well enough shape to be very well dangerous, especially if a bomb goes squirrely and misses the mark by a lot
It's called MAD because it's mad to bet your life that nuclear war can't happen anyhow.

How did you redeem the starter pack?
if your mutually assured destruction plan fails and you survive the nuclear holocaust of your country against all odds, the failure of mutually assured destruction should also be mutual. it's only fair that they too are unable to retaliate against your nuclear revenge next time.
It’s scary that the safety of mutual assured destruction will go out the window with the creation of hypersonic weapons. I’m not too into the topic but it seems some countries already have begun testing these missiles
No it won’t. MAD looms larger than ever before.
3:26 anyone remember the old animated newgrounds short “end of ze world”? 🤣
It's insane how destructive those things are. Lets hope at some point we'll get rid of em
Sadly no not unless it's useless and they come up with barriers around their country that can't be destroyed
At least at this point in time and with the political climate the way it is there is no way on God's green earth that nukes are gonna go away
@@whateveryoulikeilike6475 I mean tbh, I always considered nukes useless. Why I don't worry about nuclear war. Not like warnings will be accurate and not everyone prepares for Armageddon. They are not used at all and are just scare tactics. Any stronger country I hope are smart enough not to use em. Weaker countries can just be countered like iran.
M.A.D. is starting to trend and I am a little worried.
The issue with MAD as a policy of deterrence is that it only takes one rogue actor for a catastrophic chain reaction - Support global nuclear dearmament.
...Like SKYNET, for example.
Thank you for your videos
Remember those two submarine captains who almost started Nuclear war due to miscommunication?
So, so close. If the third captain verified the launch, Humanity would’ve been annihilated.
The third captain was a Communist political officer- presumably there for Orwellian purposes, which makes this case even more interesting.
Presumably there could be no dictatorship of the proletariat if there was no proletariat. Lol
@@Rickyrab I did not know that. It honestly seems like friendly fire.

Hey could you do a video on how many satellites above the earth how many are ours how many are our enemies what threats they pose the counter measures that we’re ready for the possible weapons that no one knows about.

It really doesn't matter who has more nukes than who. It all depends on a preemptive strike and/or if your missiles hit the right targets.

The only hitch in this doctrine is if either side believes they can survive a counter attack. Difficult, extremely difficult, but doable. All it would take is one mentally unstable person to say "do it". And hopefully there are people, or some people around to say nope. That is how MAD works,
The uk will need hours or days to make weapons ready?

Correction. Nuclear silos can withstand direct nuclear hits and still retaliate. So the last part of your video is incorrect. Subs aren't used for first strike. They are used for long term continuous follow up strikes over months or years after the initial exchange. Read U.S. nuclear doctrine.
I really hope the Aliens intervene soon
Mutually assured destruction (MAD). What a perfectly fitting acronym MAD is, for sure.
