@@Cricket2731 it's a good film but very silly in .many ways - would they have really arrested a teenage boy and not their parents?

My grandson is a nuclear engineer and sometimes is on duty aboard Ohio class submarines. He indicates they are out months at a time and most times they are not informed of their location. If need be they can remain submerged without surfacing creating their own oxygen and water. I have asked him many questions and he simply says somethings he cannot tell me. He is really dedicated and has made this his career.
@@lisarogers1392 You have been told wrong, they are niether. The US navy can shoot down satellites from a ship platform and those missles are no where near as well managed and updated as the slbms are. As I was in the Navy I can not speak directly to either the air or land legs but see no reason why they would be managed any differently.
@@JB-mg5lw Also our military has been horribly downsized and mismanaged as well since the late 80's. The force we had prior to the 80's and the ones we have now are completely different. The new military is way more tech savvy than we were however they are also way weaker than we were mentally and physically. We were programmed from diapers on to be patriotic and fight for your country no matter what. Now they are programmed to fight but only if you feel like it and your lover says it is ok. Our nuclear arsenal is not what it once was in comparison either. Don't fool yourself. There are more radical players in the field now with capabilities and poor knowledge and experience as well now. I watch the news and the threat of Russia is so hyped. But I grew up through the cold war. I was in Berlin when the wall was finally torn down. All the talk does not excite me anymore like it did when I was 19 and itching to get in the thick of it.
I have a feeling that the US has a lot of things we don't know about, locations we could never guess. There is no way the public just has knowledge of where all the super dangerous equipment is located.
There used to be an ICBM launch site just outside my hometown during the cold war. Nobody knew it was here. Still very few do even after it was decommissioned and sold off to a private party. The buildings remain and my company rents a couple including the one that was used to assemble the missiles. They are still surrounded by barbwire fences, multiple security gates and guard stations. Scary to think what could by hiding in your own backyard.
Oh, 100%. I was a military contractor for years, and I live 15 minutes from an Airforce base. I recently went to an event on base where they were displaying an experimental massive drone. When I asked the Boeing engineer if they had started test flights he said, “Oh, we’ve been testing this over our airspace for the past three years, but people just didn’t know about it.” This huge autonomous aircraft had been flying thousands of hours above a large metro area I live in, and we had no clue.
I grew up in one of those towns listed as the first Target, and it was quite honestly scary to think about. Even as an adult who is married to Military and I was a child of the military, I pray this type of war never has to happen. If the destruction like none other, and I pray that one of these days I'll rolled would learn to get along more than there is hate. Channels like yours and a few others, really give me hope for the rest of the world.
I totally understand this comment. I live In Northern Virginia, about 35 minutes from Washington DC, The pentagon, and Mount Weather. To make matters worse the county I live in is the internet capital of the world with 80 percent of the world's internet running through the data centers 15 minutes from my home. It does feel like you are always sort of waiting for "the big one.."
My town is also first strike target during the cold war, it housed a icbm launch site, air base, and major inland port. It was scary going through nuclear attack drills as a young child and not understanding why. I hope that doesn't become a thing future generations have to go through.
I was a Missile Technician aboard the predecessor to the Trident submarines, the Lafayette Class. We carried 16 C-3 Poseidon missiles. I never met a Missile Tech who wanted to launch one.
Nadine, you described M.A.D. with your analysis as to why no one would want to strike first. Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons.
I have worked in the US Nuclear Power Industry since the mid seventies and a significant number of the people that I worked with then were veterans of the US Nuclear Navy. Several of them were deployed on 'Boomers' (you can guess what that means) as bridge officers. Most of the time only the Captain and First Officer knew where the sub was at any time. One time the sub a friend was on came to periscope depth and the Captain asked if anyone wanted to see what Russia looked like. My friend replied that he did and the Captain let him look through the periscope. He thought he was going to see the Russian coast line from offshore. When he looked through the viewer he realized they were about 100 miles up a river into Russia. If they had fired their missiles it would have looked like the Soviets had fired the nukes on themselves. We bankrupted the Soviet Union during the cold war because they spent all of their money trying to be able to detect our submarines. They could never do it and still can't.
I’m calling BS on that. A Boomer (especially) is NEVER going to sail into Russian coastal waters. Being upriver in Russian intracoastal waters and getting detected would possibly constitute an act of war. I’ve actually seen the coastline of Russia through a periscope of a US fast attack sub from international waters. I also could walk into control and know where we were at any time by going over to the plot and looking at the chart or by simply asking the QMOW where we were, whether we were out at sea on a normal op or on station during a deployment doing TS stuff. I think you heard a few “no shit” stories from ex-sailors and didn’t realize they are always at least heavily exaggerated or downright BS.
The problem now is that our State Department keeps leaving their servers open to hackers and allowing foreign agents to freely read our military operations for months or maybe even years at a time before anyone realizes anything is wrong.
Well, my family has had close ties to the info in this video. Just to say: many, many, many redundant safety features. One family member has worked on many projects in the defense industry for decades. Our eldest son was on a small submarine, the kind that has only self-defensive capability. These subs are stealth subs that are usually the "watchdogs" for groups of large surface ships & possibly ballistic missile subs. Many layers of safety for the sailors. Blessings, NZ Family.
Speaking of bunkers, look up the Greenbrier Resort Bunker in West Virginia. It's a bunker that was built under a 5 star resort for the president that has since been declassified, so there are quite a lot of videos on it.
Having nuclear weapons is supposed to be a deterrent. It's kind of like an insurance policy for your country. That being said, North Korea and Russia like to use their nukes as scare tactics more so than deterrents
Thankfully, Russia no longer has the budget to maintain most of their nukes. They may have a few maintained. But dozens, not hundreds or thousands. It'll take North Korea another 20 years to have a single reliable nuke. They're too poor.
@@factsoverfeelings1776 MAD isn't a scare tactic. It is a tactic then ensures the survival of the human race. Also. Russia doesn't use nukes as a scare tactic. They are very capable of delivering but are smart enough to understand the MAD concept. North Korea is a whole lot more scary of a situation.
Fun fact if you’re in Arizona my dad was a maintenance guy that worked in the old silos there. They’ve opened it to the public as a museum and do tours daily! You can go down underground in the bunker and see/ learn. Super cool and educational expirience.
A few decades ago (when I was about 13 or so) during the Cold War CSPAN had a show that would interview various suthors who wrote books. One wrote a book on the realistic aftermath of a Nuclear War. He said (paraphrasing): "It won't use Rock's and sticks and such. Rather it'd look more like a WW1 Level of tech.."
I believe it was Albert Einstein who said " I don't know all the weapons that will be used in WWIII but I know the weapons that would be used in WWIV , sticks and stones "
I was born in 1960, so I remember in the 1970s and the duck and cover drills at school. To this day, when I hear that kind of sirens, it scares me. They would use the same sirens for tornados. I was born and raised in central Texas so we have been through tornados.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 I think it might depend on where you lived. I, too, went to elementary school in the 70s and we had duck and cover drills in Alaska, Kansas and California (I was a military brat so we moved a lot). I'm glad you never had to go through those, it was scary, especially for little kids.
The history guy on YT has some excellent videos about just how close the world has come to nuclear annihilation. It is actually terrifying how many times it came down to one person refusing to push the button to launch when ordered to.
I don't know a lot about these things, not something I was ever interested in researching, but you mean to tell me that only one person is able to push the button and if he refuses, there is no one else who can?
@@The_Story_Channel Mostly it was because they were the only one with physical access to the launch triggers. All these happened in the past way before modern networking. Now if the order is given and someone disobeys they don't have to send someone to the station and launch. It can be done remotely. Also every one of the incidents was quickly (but not quickly enough) discovered to be in error. As mention by Aaron above there was one Russian launch controller who defied orders, another one happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis where a Russian sub was seconds away from launching but decided to surface and get further orders. And of course us Americans also had close calls like the '73 NORAD alert.
@@slaughterzealibib then all the fairy tales are nothing more, you have little knowledge about how to launch nuclear missiles, who launches and how many people are responsible
1:43 : She says that they aren't even on the map. They are on the map of every school in the USA! Tunisia is on every school map. No one remembers Tunisia. We all remember Australia!
Hi Sam! Hi Nadine! I want to tell you that your shows are incredible! I love the "Family" element you bring to your videos with the kids. I also love how you separate yourselves from the kids when you do "mature" themed videos. You're great parents! After watching this video, I strongly recommend you seek out & watch the 1964 movie "Fail Safe". This is not a movie for kids & when it's done you will be speechless! Take care & happy travels when you come to the U.S. for a visit. --- Bill (From Mount Holly, NJ)
I actually saw this film in a special school showing. Of course, this was long ago, the cold ear was still going at top speed. Then again, my generation of 🇺🇲 more or less expected this to happen eventually.
Alan from Texas I grew up in the heat of the cold war, convinced we could all die in a moment. In school we practiced how to react in case of nuclear war. As a class we marched into the hallway, sat on the floor with our backs to the wall. Tuck you knees and feet up put you head between your knees, and cover the backs of your neck with your intertwined hands. This would also be used incase of Tornadoes.
@@davidpeak6103 Also known to us kids as the bend over and kiss your butt goodbye drill. Come on it would be somewhat effective with a tornado only if the structure area you sheltered down in was protected properly for it but usually that was far from the case. And it was never designed to survive a nuclear attack. We saw buildings just like our school that were hit by tornadoes. The roofs completely ripped off and the hallways covered in heavy rubble. Yeah, ok, teacher. Better than staying in the heavy glassed in classrooms though.
It’s way better for the kids to not have to worry about it. I can still remember an animated movie I saw as a kid with an old couple who sets their house up and manages to survive the initial strike and slowly died of cancer. Despite having to worry about it, there’s nothing I can do about it so being worried doesn’t really bring any benefits.
The "lucky" ones in a nuclear war would be the ones who perished in the initial attack. Nobody would want to endure the sheer hell of the ensuing nuclear winter where they'd slowly die an unimaginably horrific and slow death. The skies filled with soot, no sunshine for years, acidic nuclear rain, all crops on the planet wiped out, the oceans devoid of life, unable to go outside without protective gear for years, enduring an unseemly planetary drop in temperature with no electricity or heat and nowhere to go to get away from any of the horror.
I believe a country won't commit suicide and launch if they aren't the ones being targeted by a nuke. I think if Ukraine or europe got hit. America would do nothing. Self preservation. I think the results will be vastly different than people assume.
Nuclear winter is not a thing, not as severe as people made it out to be, and radiation won't be a concern for more than a week or two. Humanity would live on, of course this doesn't bring comfort to the hundreds of millions that would die but if you survive the initial few weeks you have a good chance of making it.
@@duitkit is real. Conservative estimates, on a full nuclear war Russia Vs USA, 95% of the world population dying. Nuclear winter kills plants and without food people and animals die. The radiation won't last that little dude, especially where the bombs hit.
The knowledge of what's available, or not, in the US military is not public knowledge. Our ability to create a war in multiple areas across the globle is understated, at best, when people use publicly available information here on RUclips. Our ability to create death and chaos in any country on the globe is undisputed, so don't worry, we're on team New Zealand and team Austraila for sure!
That little red country in Europe that seemed to confuse you why missiles were launching from it is actually part of Russia. Called an Oblast. That area is where Kaliningrad is. Hope that helps!
In the 60's my grandparents neighbor had installed a fallout shelter on their property. They told my grandparents that there would be space available for the grandkids should anything happen. We were run through the drills on what to grab and where to run as quickly as possible. This was pretty scary for a tender aged child. Then in schools they started doing drills. The alarm would go off and we were to get down on the floor and curl up under our desk. We always wondered what the adults were thinking. How was this position supposed to protect us from a nuclear bomb? We did know what the bomb was and the damage it could do as they showed us on classroom movies. We have all managed to co exist so far in spite of our differences. I pray we all strive to work on peace. The alternative isn't something I want to see.
I live in Louisiana about two miles from Barksdale Air Force Base. Bombers practice right over my head every day. It’s never quiet around here. Bombers are so loud that they can rattle your house windows.
Just so you know the missile silos in this video are only part of what we have. None of the dispersed silos were shown from the 1970's dispersed install program. My grand pops farm in Pennsylvania has a silo on it. The gov came in and said we need an acre of land and that they would rent it. There is no human operator there. It is just 1 missile in a silo fenced off and once a year a team comes out to inspect it and do maintenance if necessary. I assume there are hundreds of farms etc... all over the country that have one or more silos.
Absolutely terrifying. This would be annihilation for much of the world. Easy to be a non-assuming little country, but the USA would expect assistance from their allies. May peace prevail.
Yep but I would fight for Russia and China before I would give any help to those war mongers in Washington or NATO. Real fact checking shows exactly who is the problem at the moment.
Nadine asking about attacked knowing you would be wiped out. Yes, it's what we call Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). A couple of movies from the 80s, War Games, starring a young Matthew Broderick about accidentally hacking military computers and starting global thermonuclear war. 2nd movie also starred Mathew called Projext X. Training moneys to fly planes in the case nuclear war started.
As an American, the only consolation to me is the hope that America's US Nuclear capabilities are so completely shocking and terrifying that enemies of America will live in paralyzing fear of challenging it. There are no winners once the button is pushed in a modern nuclear war. Just survivors and not many at that. And considering I live not too far from Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri, I know I wont be one of those survivors. I live in a nuclear target zone. I think President Trump is completely right. The greatest threat to humanity's existence is not climate change, but rather nuclear war.
Remember those well, Das11! Both my parents worked at a joint SAC and ATC base in 60's, 70's, and 80's. We had about 40 B52's lined up for about a mile. Not fun. And I never understood the stop, drop, and cover being effective during a strike.
@@Inconclusive420 My grandmother was born in the 1950s in Oak Ridge and, at least back in the day, Oak Ridge was a "no-fly zone" and to this day she gets uneasy whenever a plane flies over her house because it was drilled into her head that the only aircraft that flew over were likely military and meant it could've been a Soviet warplane. The sirens, it is true they do test them specifically at noon on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
Hi, Sam and Nadine! One thing that wasn't mentioned by name was the MAD Doctrine, which essentially guarantees that whoever launches first is obliterated right along with the target. This doctrine, standing for Mutually Assured Destruction, has been, as Nadine rightly guessed, the primary way that peace has been kept among the nuclear powers. Of course, rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea likely wouldn't follow such a doctrine and might touch off a more limited nuclear exchange at some point. For instance, I've been saying for some years now that we will know that Iran has developed a nuclear weapon when Tel Aviv disappears beneath a mushroom cloud. Also, when it comes to population centers, one should consider that these are also where industrial targets are located. For instance, here in Jamestown, NY (yes, that hometown from I Love Lucy really does exist), we have a factory where tank engines are made, making the 30,000 or so of us who live here a target. Oh, and while the vast majority of the nuclear strikes would be in the Northern Hemisphere, places like New Zealand would not be untouched, since allied capitols and military centers would also be targets. This was well-illustrated in the climactic scene from the movie "War Games", in which both Australia and New Zealand were attacked in the various scenarios displayed. Anyway, if you have time for a day trip full of laughter, please come to Jamestown and visit the National Comedy Center, the only museum in the world dedicated to the art of getting people to laugh.
Hello Sam and Nadine. I have lived my entire life within 30 miles of Stratcom, and for 1 year I was living about a 5 minute walk from an Atlas missle site, now defunct. It is just understood that in the case of a nuclear war, anyone in this area that is not in a bunker, is not surviving. It is sad that this is even a possibility, but thats just the reality we live with. I worry about this about as much as I worry about tornadoes, meaning not at all really, as it is something I have no control over, so it would be a waste of my time. Love your content, peace.
The mutual peace that the weapons of this gravity produce was deemed "MAD" Or the mutually assured destruction military doctrine. Basically, exactly as you stated. The powers that be understand the only option that isn't horrific for everyone, is nobody pushes the button. It's a fascinating conundrum. Mankind created weapons so powerful, it's one of the most motivating forces for peace.
It has been said that if Russia or any country tries to use nuclear weapons in combat, they will quickly learn why the US doesn't have free healthcare.
To paraphrase the Fat Electrician channel, American has the best Unhealthcare system in the world. EDIT: This has been misunderstood. "Unhealthcare" is the "ability to warheads on foreheads".
And Russia still has a bigger nuclear arsenal than the US. Most of the US would be wiped out, and that might just bring us one step closer to world peace.
@@GeraldWalls Why do all Politicians from around the world come here, for health care. Nothing is Free, if is was you would get the lowest amount of health care.
For many decades mutually assured destruction has kept the world from another "world" war. Sadly, it feels as if we are approaching a time when that won't be enough to deter it from happening. With the many tinderboxes around the world just waiting for a spark to set them ablaze, also some less than stable nations now acquiring nuclear weapons, it is just a matter of time. I wish you and your family well, thank you for another interesting reaction.
There was a movie in the 1980s called War Games. It's worth a watch. It demonstrated the idea of MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction. The point is that if Russia attacked, they knew that they would be completely destroyed. I suppose that reasoning fits with them having so many, so that if the US attacked them, we'd also be destroyed. No one wins a nuclear war. There was also a saying, if WWIII is fought with nuclear weapons, WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Hello Sam & Nadine You don't know the affects of the new upgraded Nuclear weapons. The impact point everything would be leveled in a 5 mile radius second at 10 miles heavy damage to all structures. At the 20 miles slight damage Then you have to take into count the wind direction for radio fallout. The more you think about it the more you don't want to think of the horror. I retired from the US Air Force back in 1994. I also live within 20 miles from an decommissioned silo I hope they don't hit that one. The siren sound on the video we use here in Texas for tornado warnings.
Have to remember during WW2, Most of Japan's cities had already been firebombed. So they had to target areas that still had some factories but also the least damage as well to show just how destructive the bombs were.
Yep. I visited Hiroshima a few years ago. At the time the A-bombs were dropped, only 6 Japanese cities had been left relatively intact. They were deliberately not firebombed because the US had been planning to use the A-bombs for some time and needed intact targets to test their effectiveness. Tokyo in March 1945 looked much the same as Hiroshima did five months later. Interesting trivia: Nagasaki was NOT the intended target for the second bomb. It was supposed to be Fukuoka. The bomber flew to Fukuoka but there was too much cloud cover, so they opted to fly to Nagasaki, the backup target, instead. To this day, in Japan, the phrase "Fukuoka luck" means to be extremely lucky.
Oh yes, we're headed for war. And I fully expect it to come upon our shores over here in America... About the same time, I also expect the economy to totally collapse. A lot of things getting ready to fall apart over here...
I served in the Strategic Air Command in the early 1980s, B52 Gs and Hs on the Alert Pad cocked, locked, and ready to rock as well as 150 Minuteman ICBMs planted out in Sven Svenson's tater patch. This was in Grand Forks, ND. At that time we had many more nuclear equipped bases than what is shown in this video. SAC disbanded in 1991, Mr Gorbachev tore down that wall and we felt less need for nuclear deterrence.
@@donnaawb Biden’s response would be “C’Mon Man!” Then he’d fall down. But the only button he’d push would be his Med Alert button. “I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
President Truman ordered the dropping of both bombs because of what the US Marines saw at Okinawa. The Japanese citizens were committing mass suicide because they were told the Americans were animals and to honor their divine Emperor they had to avoid being captured or die fighting. The US military estimated that over a million US troops would be killed in a ground invasion and more than that in Japanese deaths, military and civilian. The Japanese at the time were very fanatical about their Emperor. So they used the bombs to force Japan to surrender or risk annihilation either by the bombs or an invasion.
I was married to a submariner and id go to eat dinner on the sub when they were home and i never wanted to leave the gally cuz he would bring to the room with the nukes all piled on eachother i was so scared yet he would say believe me it cant do anything without it being launched but it scared the hell out of me i would not even be able to sleep in the rack cuz i hate small spaces..but thank god we have people that can do it and go on the med run for 6 months..
I've never seen you two do a video by yourselves. (without your kids) I really enjoyed both of your insights. For one, that video you were watching, that is my most top tier nuclear video I have EVER seen. Your sources are stellar! For two, it's nice to see New Zealand stepping into there own. 😄 🥰🫣 Much love to your whole family!!!
I remember growing up in the 1970s and 1980s. The spectre of a nuclear war was one that kids and adults thought about. If you keep this theme going, maybe reaction videos about the tv movie "The Day After", and about Samantha Smith.
I served and now live blocks away from Barksdale AFB and proud i do. I know will be one of the first to go or make a last stand there. Either way outcome for everyone would be life changing.

im a Chicago native and if a nuke war happened, Im going to go outside and see if i cant cast a funny shadow on a wall someplace. i wont spend my last few minutes running for many reasons.
Have you ever watched the movie 'War Games' starring Matthew Broderick? In it are multiple scenarioes where Thermonuclear Missiles are supposed to be fires from and where they land, only a few have 2 hitting NZ (I believe Auckland and Christchurch) and only a couple with just 1 missile. From my knowledge, the blast radius is about 300km's diameter depending on there being no wind factor, so the safest places would be over 300km's from those areas.
I just got back from a month in New Zealand and learned that New Zealand is considered a friend of the U.S.A. but not an ally. On a personal note I tried to contact you several times but you did not respond. I was in Taupo a couple of times but did not hear from you, I guess if I don’t give you money you don’t care.
You were talking about being on a submarine during an attack. There is an old book/movie, “On the Beach” that posits this. It was written in 1959. Good book and movie. I live in a heavy US defense/space/intelligence area (literally across the river from it as the crow flies). It scares me to think what would happen. The question is do I want to survive or be vaporized in a split second. Honestly, I think I’d choose to vaporization, as it would be hell on earth for those who survive. I once sat next to defense contractor at a local event and asked what our chances were, he intimated that our area would be no more.
You guys are awesome parents! Genuine question, how do you keep your kids from watching your own video about content you didn’t want them in the room for? Thanks for the love from AU!
Those B-2 stealth bombers are so alien looking in person. I have seen one once when I was 8 or 9. I live close to an air force base and my little mind went into panic mode XD luckily someone told me what it was so I didn’t have to panic too long. But yeah they are really cool and extremely terrifying.
I guarded special weapons (as they are called by military personnel) on board the last of the Iowa class, USS WISCONSIN BB-64. Most missiles in the military can be converted from conventional to nuclear by changing the warhead. A "nuke" can be carried in a special briefcase.
It's hilarious that people think that our land based ICBM locations are "commonly" known. People really think we don't have probably double that amount of silos in places that aren't known?
A lot of countries have alliances with other countries, in most cases they have to step in and help the other country. one of the big reasons so many countries got involved in both world wars is because they had alliances with other countries and if they didn't step in it would ruin their relationship with the other country and most likely would hurt them because most alliances are made because having that country on their side helps them economically.
The thing about it though being that close to a nuclear bomb when it goes off it's like you there one second and gone the next you never existed in one second
You know this video they are reacting to is top notch when the narrator spends the entire time saying "nucular." My fellow Americans, it's "nuclear." It's two syllables, not three.
That’s why it’s called MAD…Mutually Assured Destruction…because it is MAD…but you have to ensure that your adversaries understand that you have both the capability and will to do it…a classic Mexican Stand-Off…it’s crazy but it keeps the peace, for the most part…

The one thing that sticks with me that my Dad always said is, the united states military is fifty years ahead of the average citizens knowledge.
Not anymore
@@lisarogers1392 yes they still are. There are things I experienced in the USN back in the late 1980s that are still futuristic today.
I've heard our nukes are ancient and have not been kept up to date.
I hope you are right
@@lisarogers1392 You have been told wrong, they are niether. The US navy can shoot down satellites from a ship platform and those missles are no where near as well managed and updated as the slbms are. As I was in the Navy I can not speak directly to either the air or land legs but see no reason why they would be managed any differently.
@@JB-mg5lw Also our military has been horribly downsized and mismanaged as well since the late 80's. The force we had prior to the 80's and the ones we have now are completely different. The new military is way more tech savvy than we were however they are also way weaker than we were mentally and physically. We were programmed from diapers on to be patriotic and fight for your country no matter what. Now they are programmed to fight but only if you feel like it and your lover says it is ok. Our nuclear arsenal is not what it once was in comparison either. Don't fool yourself. There are more radical players in the field now with capabilities and poor knowledge and experience as well now. I watch the news and the threat of Russia is so hyped. But I grew up through the cold war. I was in Berlin when the wall was finally torn down. All the talk does not excite me anymore like it did when I was 19 and itching to get in the thick of it.
I have a feeling that the US has a lot of things we don't know about, locations we could never guess. There is no way the public just has knowledge of where all the super dangerous equipment is located.
There used to be an ICBM launch site just outside my hometown during the cold war. Nobody knew it was here. Still very few do even after it was decommissioned and sold off to a private party. The buildings remain and my company rents a couple including the one that was used to assemble the missiles. They are still surrounded by barbwire fences, multiple security gates and guard stations. Scary to think what could by hiding in your own backyard.
Oh, 100%.
I was a military contractor for years, and I live 15 minutes from an Airforce base. I recently went to an event on base where they were displaying an experimental massive drone. When I asked the Boeing engineer if they had started test flights he said, “Oh, we’ve been testing this over our airspace for the past three years, but people just didn’t know about it.”
This huge autonomous aircraft had been flying thousands of hours above a large metro area I live in, and we had no clue.
@@D71219ONE - if you had any sense, you wouldn't be talking about this on RUclips!!
@@D71219ONE Man I hope you are allowed to be talking about this right now.... otherwise oh my gosh was that stupid.
I live near an Air Force base and we constantly have drones hovering at night. It was worrisome until I realized it was them.
I grew up in one of those towns listed as the first Target, and it was quite honestly scary to think about. Even as an adult who is married to Military and I was a child of the military, I pray this type of war never has to happen. If the destruction like none other, and I pray that one of these days I'll rolled would learn to get along more than there is hate. Channels like yours and a few others, really give me hope for the rest of the world.
I totally understand this comment. I live In Northern Virginia, about 35 minutes from Washington DC, The pentagon, and Mount Weather. To make matters worse the county I live in is the internet capital of the world with 80 percent of the world's internet running through the data centers 15 minutes from my home. It does feel like you are always sort of waiting for "the big one.."
My town is also first strike target during the cold war, it housed a icbm launch site, air base, and major inland port. It was scary going through nuclear attack drills as a young child and not understanding why. I hope that doesn't become a thing future generations have to go through.
I was a Missile Technician aboard the predecessor to the Trident submarines, the Lafayette Class. We carried 16 C-3 Poseidon missiles. I never met a Missile Tech who wanted to launch one.
Nadine, you described M.A.D. with your analysis as to why no one would want to strike first. Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons.
I have worked in the US Nuclear Power Industry since the mid seventies and a significant number of the people that I worked with then were veterans of the US Nuclear Navy. Several of them were deployed on 'Boomers' (you can guess what that means) as bridge officers. Most of the time only the Captain and First Officer knew where the sub was at any time. One time the sub a friend was on came to periscope depth and the Captain asked if anyone wanted to see what Russia looked like. My friend replied that he did and the Captain let him look through the periscope. He thought he was going to see the Russian coast line from offshore. When he looked through the viewer he realized they were about 100 miles up a river into Russia. If they had fired their missiles it would have looked like the Soviets had fired the nukes on themselves. We bankrupted the Soviet Union during the cold war because they spent all of their money trying to be able to detect our submarines. They could never do it and still can't.
My son is a nuke. Anyone in the "bridge" knows where the sub is because the chart table (now electronic) is viable to all
I’m calling BS on that. A Boomer (especially) is NEVER going to sail into Russian coastal waters.
Being upriver in Russian intracoastal waters and getting detected would possibly constitute an act of war.
I’ve actually seen the coastline of Russia through a periscope of a US fast attack sub from international waters.
I also could walk into control and know where we were at any time by going over to the plot and looking at the chart or by simply asking the QMOW where we were, whether we were out at sea on a normal op or on station during a deployment doing TS stuff.
I think you heard a few “no shit” stories from ex-sailors and didn’t realize they are always at least heavily exaggerated or downright BS.
The problem now is that our State Department keeps leaving their servers open to hackers and allowing foreign agents to freely read our military operations for months or maybe even years at a time before anyone realizes anything is wrong.
That’s reassuring
@@Rkay421 think of it this way look at how many dams also in china, guess they could fire a nuke from Russia into china?

Well, my family has had close ties to the info in this video.
Just to say: many, many, many redundant safety features. One family member has worked on many projects in the defense industry for decades.
Our eldest son was on a small submarine, the kind that has only self-defensive capability. These subs are stealth subs that are usually the "watchdogs" for groups of large surface ships & possibly ballistic missile subs.
Many layers of safety for the sailors.
Blessings, NZ Family.
Speaking of bunkers, look up the Greenbrier Resort Bunker in West Virginia. It's a bunker that was built under a 5 star resort for the president that has since been declassified, so there are quite a lot of videos on it.
Having nuclear weapons is supposed to be a deterrent. It's kind of like an insurance policy for your country. That being said, North Korea and Russia like to use their nukes as scare tactics more so than deterrents
Thankfully, Russia no longer has the budget to maintain most of their nukes. They may have a few maintained. But dozens, not hundreds or thousands.
It'll take North Korea another 20 years to have a single reliable nuke. They're too poor.
That's the same thing
Ever heard of MAD? That is a "scare tactic".
@@factsoverfeelings1776not really , the first word is mutual so its a decently fair concept insuring no one ever deploys them
@@factsoverfeelings1776 MAD isn't a scare tactic. It is a tactic then ensures the survival of the human race. Also. Russia doesn't use nukes as a scare tactic. They are very capable of delivering but are smart enough to understand the MAD concept. North Korea is a whole lot more scary of a situation.
I actually appreciate when it’s just you both when you think it’s a bit much for the little ones!

A few decades ago (when I was about 13 or so) during the Cold War CSPAN had a show that would interview various suthors who wrote books. One wrote a book on the realistic aftermath of a Nuclear War.
He said (paraphrasing):
"It won't use Rock's and sticks and such. Rather it'd look more like a WW1 Level of tech.."
I believe it was Albert Einstein who said " I don't know all the weapons that will be used in WWIII but I know the weapons that would be used in WWIV , sticks and stones "
You are correct sir, it was Albert Einstein.

. @aaronburdon221 I thought it was H.G. Welles..
I was born in 1960, so I remember in the 1970s and the duck and cover drills at school. To this day, when I hear that kind of sirens, it scares me. They would use the same sirens for tornados. I was born and raised in central Texas so we have been through tornados.
Duck and cover drills were in the 1950's.
I was in elementary school in the 70's and we didn't have any such drills.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 I think it might depend on where you lived. I, too, went to elementary school in the 70s and we had duck and cover drills in Alaska, Kansas and California (I was a military brat so we moved a lot). I'm glad you never had to go through those, it was scary, especially for little kids.
I like the new shorter intro better. I was guilty of fast forwarding though the old one. Liked the video! Left handed Tennessee guy checking in!
The history guy on YT has some excellent videos about just how close the world has come to nuclear annihilation. It is actually terrifying how many times it came down to one person refusing to push the button to launch when ordered to.
Yea, if it hadn't been for 1 russian guy who dissented against 2 officers, the world would've ended.
I don't know a lot about these things, not something I was ever interested in researching, but you mean to tell me that only one person is able to push the button and if he refuses, there is no one else who can?
@@The_Story_Channel Mostly it was because they were the only one with physical access to the launch triggers. All these happened in the past way before modern networking. Now if the order is given and someone disobeys they don't have to send someone to the station and launch. It can be done remotely. Also every one of the incidents was quickly (but not quickly enough) discovered to be in error. As mention by Aaron above there was one Russian launch controller who defied orders, another one happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis where a Russian sub was seconds away from launching but decided to surface and get further orders. And of course us Americans also had close calls like the '73 NORAD alert.
@@slaughterzealibib then all the fairy tales are nothing more, you have little knowledge about how to launch nuclear missiles, who launches and how many people are responsible

Hi Sam! Hi Nadine! I want to tell you that your shows are incredible! I love the "Family" element you bring to your videos with the kids. I also love how you separate yourselves from the kids when you do "mature" themed videos. You're great parents! After watching this video, I strongly recommend you seek out & watch the 1964 movie "Fail Safe". This is not a movie for kids & when it's done you will be speechless! Take care & happy travels when you come to the U.S. for a visit. --- Bill (From Mount Holly, NJ)
I actually saw this film in a special school showing. Of course, this was long ago, the cold ear was still going at top speed. Then again, my generation of 🇺🇲 more or less expected this to happen eventually.
Alan from Texas I grew up in the heat of the cold war, convinced we could all die in a moment. In school we practiced how to react in case of nuclear war. As a class we marched into the hallway, sat on the floor with our backs to the wall. Tuck you knees and feet up put you head between your knees, and cover the backs of your neck with your intertwined hands. This would also be used incase of Tornadoes.
Duck and cover!
@@davidpeak6103 Also known to us kids as the bend over and kiss your butt goodbye drill. Come on it would be somewhat effective with a tornado only if the structure area you sheltered down in was protected properly for it but usually that was far from the case. And it was never designed to survive a nuclear attack. We saw buildings just like our school that were hit by tornadoes. The roofs completely ripped off and the hallways covered in heavy rubble. Yeah, ok, teacher. Better than staying in the heavy glassed in classrooms though.
Seeing is believing. Once you've seen one, really close up, it doesn't matter what anyone says, you can never un-see it.
Are you a x22 fan...just curious.
I have lived through 4, and it's not fun at all.

have u seen one?? im so sorry
I served on the USS George Bancroft SSBN 643 Blue crew 1988-1992. That was the time I have had.
It´s called M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction.
It’s way better for the kids to not have to worry about it.
I can still remember an animated movie I saw as a kid with an old couple who sets their house up and manages to survive the initial strike and slowly died of cancer. Despite having to worry about it, there’s nothing I can do about it so being worried doesn’t really bring any benefits.
I saw this in the last several years, though I can't think of the title. Sir John Mills is the old guy on it I'm thinking.
Simple History: Bob Semple Tank
It's a New Zealand designed tank from WWII
Kid friendly video too.
Would love to see a reaction to it!
Yeah agreed, everyone chill the heck out. Love everyone!
The "lucky" ones in a nuclear war would be the ones who perished in the initial attack. Nobody would want to endure the sheer hell of the ensuing nuclear winter where they'd slowly die an unimaginably horrific and slow death. The skies filled with soot, no sunshine for years, acidic nuclear rain, all crops on the planet wiped out, the oceans devoid of life, unable to go outside without protective gear for years, enduring an unseemly planetary drop in temperature with no electricity or heat and nowhere to go to get away from any of the horror.
I believe a country won't commit suicide and launch if they aren't the ones being targeted by a nuke. I think if Ukraine or europe got hit. America would do nothing. Self preservation. I think the results will be vastly different than people assume.
I would hope l would be among the first to go. I would not want to survive that and the aftermath. If mankind resorts to that l am done.
Nuclear winter is not a thing, not as severe as people made it out to be, and radiation won't be a concern for more than a week or two. Humanity would live on, of course this doesn't bring comfort to the hundreds of millions that would die but if you survive the initial few weeks you have a good chance of making it.
@@duitkit is real. Conservative estimates, on a full nuclear war Russia Vs USA, 95% of the world population dying. Nuclear winter kills plants and without food people and animals die. The radiation won't last that little dude, especially where the bombs hit.
The knowledge of what's available, or not, in the US military is not public knowledge. Our ability to create a war in multiple areas across the globle is understated, at best, when people use publicly available information here on RUclips. Our ability to create death and chaos in any country on the globe is undisputed, so don't worry, we're on team New Zealand and team Austraila for sure!
That little red country in Europe that seemed to confuse you why missiles were launching from it is actually part of Russia. Called an Oblast. That area is where Kaliningrad is. Hope that helps!
There’s a part II to this, must watch.
In the 60's my grandparents neighbor had installed a fallout shelter on their property. They told my grandparents that there would be space available for the grandkids should anything happen. We were run through the drills on what to grab and where to run as quickly as possible. This was pretty scary for a tender aged child. Then in schools they started doing drills. The alarm would go off and we were to get down on the floor and curl up under our desk. We always wondered what the adults were thinking. How was this position supposed to protect us from a nuclear bomb? We did know what the bomb was and the damage it could do as they showed us on classroom movies. We have all managed to co exist so far in spite of our differences. I pray we all strive to work on peace. The alternative isn't something I want to see.
I live in Louisiana about two miles from Barksdale Air Force Base. Bombers practice right over my head every day. It’s never quiet around here. Bombers are so loud that they can rattle your house windows.
Just so you know the missile silos in this video are only part of what we have. None of the dispersed silos were shown from the 1970's dispersed install program. My grand pops farm in Pennsylvania has a silo on it. The gov came in and said we need an acre of land and that they would rent it. There is no human operator there. It is just 1 missile in a silo fenced off and once a year a team comes out to inspect it and do maintenance if necessary. I assume there are hundreds of farms etc... all over the country that have one or more silos.
that's so damn cool.
I worked at a launch control facility for ICBMs in Montana! Loved that job!
Absolutely terrifying. This would be annihilation for much of the world. Easy to be a non-assuming little country, but the USA would expect assistance from their allies. May peace prevail.
Yep but I would fight for Russia and China before I would give any help to those war mongers in Washington or NATO. Real fact checking shows exactly who is the problem at the moment.
Nadine asking about attacked knowing you would be wiped out. Yes, it's what we call Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
A couple of movies from the 80s, War Games, starring a young Matthew Broderick about accidentally hacking military computers and starting global thermonuclear war. 2nd movie also starred Mathew called Projext X. Training moneys to fly planes in the case nuclear war started.
As an American, the only consolation to me is the hope that America's US Nuclear capabilities are so completely shocking and terrifying that enemies of America will live in paralyzing fear of challenging it. There are no winners once the button is pushed in a modern nuclear war. Just survivors and not many at that. And considering I live not too far from Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri, I know I wont be one of those survivors. I live in a nuclear target zone. I think President Trump is completely right. The greatest threat to humanity's existence is not climate change, but rather nuclear war.
100% trump was also right when he said a condemned man won't stop fighting because he's already condemned.
biggest threat for USA is peace, USA will not surivive wthout wars, thats why USA always invade others for no reasons since 248 years
I loved working as a Missile Field Team when i was at FE Warren, would go back in a instant.
I grew up in a first strike target. There was a Russian nuke with our name on it. The air raid sirens were tested every Sunday at 1pm.
Remember those well, Das11! Both my parents worked at a joint SAC and ATC base in 60's, 70's, and 80's. We had about 40 B52's lined up for about a mile. Not fun. And I never understood the stop, drop, and cover being effective during a strike.
They still test them here the 1st Wednesday of the month. In Oak Ridge Tennessee.
@@Inconclusive420 My grandmother was born in the 1950s in Oak Ridge and, at least back in the day, Oak Ridge was a "no-fly zone" and to this day she gets uneasy whenever a plane flies over her house because it was drilled into her head that the only aircraft that flew over were likely military and meant it could've been a Soviet warplane. The sirens, it is true they do test them specifically at noon on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
I still live in one of those address labels.
Hi, Sam and Nadine!
One thing that wasn't mentioned by name was the MAD Doctrine, which essentially guarantees that whoever launches first is obliterated right along with the target. This doctrine, standing for Mutually Assured Destruction, has been, as Nadine rightly guessed, the primary way that peace has been kept among the nuclear powers.
Of course, rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea likely wouldn't follow such a doctrine and might touch off a more limited nuclear exchange at some point. For instance, I've been saying for some years now that we will know that Iran has developed a nuclear weapon when Tel Aviv disappears beneath a mushroom cloud.
Also, when it comes to population centers, one should consider that these are also where industrial targets are located. For instance, here in Jamestown, NY (yes, that hometown from I Love Lucy really does exist), we have a factory where tank engines are made, making the 30,000 or so of us who live here a target.
Oh, and while the vast majority of the nuclear strikes would be in the Northern Hemisphere, places like New Zealand would not be untouched, since allied capitols and military centers would also be targets. This was well-illustrated in the climactic scene from the movie "War Games", in which both Australia and New Zealand were attacked in the various scenarios displayed.
Anyway, if you have time for a day trip full of laughter, please come to Jamestown and visit the National Comedy Center, the only museum in the world dedicated to the art of getting people to laugh.
Do not FEAR! We have your back. New Zealand is one of our real friends.
Hello Sam and Nadine. I have lived my entire life within 30 miles of Stratcom, and for 1 year I was living about a 5 minute walk from an Atlas missle site, now defunct. It is just understood that in the case of a nuclear war, anyone in this area that is not in a bunker, is not surviving. It is sad that this is even a possibility, but thats just the reality we live with. I worry about this about as much as I worry about tornadoes, meaning not at all really, as it is something I have no control over, so it would be a waste of my time. Love your content, peace.
We would all be going home ...if they used nukes.
The mutual peace that the weapons of this gravity produce was deemed "MAD" Or the mutually assured destruction military doctrine.
Basically, exactly as you stated. The powers that be understand the only option that isn't horrific for everyone, is nobody pushes the button. It's a fascinating conundrum. Mankind created weapons so powerful, it's one of the most motivating forces for peace.
It has been said that if Russia or any country tries to use nuclear weapons in combat, they will quickly learn why the US doesn't have free healthcare.
America is literally the definition of fuck around and find out.
They would be right. And I'm not sure how I feel about that.
To paraphrase the Fat Electrician channel, American has the best Unhealthcare system in the world. EDIT: This has been misunderstood. "Unhealthcare" is the "ability to warheads on foreheads".
And Russia still has a bigger nuclear arsenal than the US. Most of the US would be wiped out, and that might just bring us one step closer to world peace.
@@GeraldWalls Why do all Politicians from around the world come here, for health care. Nothing is Free, if is was you would get the lowest amount of health care.
I live in Great Falls Montana where Malmstrom Air Force base is located and I've driven by many of the nuclear silos
For many decades mutually assured destruction has kept the world from another "world" war. Sadly, it feels as if we are approaching a time when that won't be enough to deter it from happening. With the many tinderboxes around the world just waiting for a spark to set them ablaze, also some less than stable nations now acquiring nuclear weapons, it is just a matter of time. I wish you and your family well, thank you for another interesting reaction.
There was a movie in the 1980s called War Games. It's worth a watch. It demonstrated the idea of MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction. The point is that if Russia attacked, they knew that they would be completely destroyed. I suppose that reasoning fits with them having so many, so that if the US attacked them, we'd also be destroyed. No one wins a nuclear war. There was also a saying, if WWIII is fought with nuclear weapons, WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Let's pray the world is safe and free from any future nuclear war or conflict.
Let's pray for peace everywhere.
Hello Sam & Nadine
You don't know the affects of the new upgraded Nuclear weapons.
The impact point everything would be leveled in a 5 mile radius second at 10 miles heavy damage to all structures.
At the 20 miles slight damage
Then you have to take into count the wind direction for radio fallout. The more you think about it the more you don't want to think of the horror. I retired from the US Air Force back in 1994. I also live within 20 miles from an decommissioned silo I hope they don't hit that one. The siren sound on the video we use here in Texas for tornado warnings.
Have to remember during WW2, Most of Japan's cities had already been firebombed. So they had to target areas that still had some factories but also the least damage as well to show just how destructive the bombs were.
Yep. I visited Hiroshima a few years ago. At the time the A-bombs were dropped, only 6 Japanese cities had been left relatively intact. They were deliberately not firebombed because the US had been planning to use the A-bombs for some time and needed intact targets to test their effectiveness. Tokyo in March 1945 looked much the same as Hiroshima did five months later.
Interesting trivia: Nagasaki was NOT the intended target for the second bomb. It was supposed to be Fukuoka. The bomber flew to Fukuoka but there was too much cloud cover, so they opted to fly to Nagasaki, the backup target, instead. To this day, in Japan, the phrase "Fukuoka luck" means to be extremely lucky.
There is a pt 2 you should watch as well
Let’s pray this never happens!
For real. It’s not worth it for anyone! Literally anyone! The war might be won but the outcome would be catastrophic beyond any manageable repair.
Oh yes, we're headed for war. And I fully expect it to come upon our shores over here in America... About the same time, I also expect the economy to totally collapse. A lot of things getting ready to fall apart over here...
I served in the Strategic Air Command in the early 1980s, B52 Gs and Hs on the Alert Pad cocked, locked, and ready to rock as well as 150 Minuteman ICBMs planted out in Sven Svenson's tater patch. This was in Grand Forks, ND. At that time we had many more nuclear equipped bases than what is shown in this video. SAC disbanded in 1991, Mr Gorbachev tore down that wall and we felt less need for nuclear deterrence.
The moment Russia invaded Ukraine, WWIII started.
Yupp facts.
Not Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia, Syria etc.....
Today is June 6th. D-day when the US and allies invaded Normandy. Totally different type of war.

When I was in the Army there were daily checks on all the comm related to the weapons. I am glad that we never had to find out if the weapons worked
I'm guessing the kiddos are at camp, but Denzel would have loved this.
I wish I had a family like you guys .....stay great
President Truman ordered the dropping of both bombs because of what the US Marines saw at Okinawa. The Japanese citizens were committing mass suicide because they were told the Americans were animals and to honor their divine Emperor they had to avoid being captured or die fighting. The US military estimated that over a million US troops would be killed in a ground invasion and more than that in Japanese deaths, military and civilian. The Japanese at the time were very fanatical about their Emperor. So they used the bombs to force Japan to surrender or risk annihilation either by the bombs or an invasion.
I was married to a submariner and id go to eat dinner on the sub when they were home and i never wanted to leave the gally cuz he would bring to the room with the nukes all piled on eachother i was so scared yet he would say believe me it cant do anything without it being launched but it scared the hell out of me i would not even be able to sleep in the rack cuz i hate small spaces..but thank god we have people that can do it and go on the med run for 6 months..
I've never seen you two do a video by yourselves. (without your kids) I really enjoyed both of your insights. For one, that video you were watching, that is my most top tier nuclear video I have EVER seen. Your sources are stellar! For two, it's nice to see New Zealand stepping into there own. 😄 🥰🫣 Much love to your whole family!!!
I remember growing up in the 1970s and 1980s. The spectre of a nuclear war was one that kids and adults thought about.
If you keep this theme going, maybe reaction videos about the tv movie "The Day After", and about Samantha Smith.
Did you see the movie War Games?
I served and now live blocks away from Barksdale AFB and proud i do. I know will be one of the first to go or make a last stand there. Either way outcome for everyone would be life changing.

You guys should do a movie reaction to something you’re seeing for the first time. That would be so good
im a Chicago native and if a nuke war happened, Im going to go outside and see if i cant cast a funny shadow on a wall someplace. i wont spend my last few minutes running for many reasons.
Have you ever watched the movie 'War Games' starring Matthew Broderick? In it are multiple scenarioes where Thermonuclear Missiles are supposed to be fires from and where they land, only a few have 2 hitting NZ (I believe Auckland and Christchurch) and only a couple with just 1 missile.
From my knowledge, the blast radius is about 300km's diameter depending on there being no wind factor, so the safest places would be over 300km's from those areas.
Do you really think the U.S. would make the information on the location and capability of the missles public.
Softbox facing the bed.. I like your style.
Thank you again
I just got back from a month in New Zealand and learned that New Zealand is considered a friend of the U.S.A. but not an ally.
On a personal note I tried to contact you several times but you did not respond. I was in Taupo a couple of times but did not hear from you, I guess if I don’t give you money you don’t care.
The WAR GAMES movie starring Matthew Broderick is an awakening
You were talking about being on a submarine during an attack. There is an old book/movie, “On the Beach” that posits this. It was written in 1959. Good book and movie.
I live in a heavy US defense/space/intelligence area (literally across the river from it as the crow flies). It scares me to think what would happen. The question is do I want to survive or be vaporized in a split second. Honestly, I think I’d choose to vaporization, as it would be hell on earth for those who survive. I once sat next to defense contractor at a local event and asked what our chances were, he intimated that our area would be no more.
You guys are awesome parents! Genuine question, how do you keep your kids from watching your own video about content you didn’t want them in the room for?
Thanks for the love from AU!
Those B-2 stealth bombers are so alien looking in person. I have seen one once when I was 8 or 9. I live close to an air force base and my little mind went into panic mode XD luckily someone told me what it was so I didn’t have to panic too long. But yeah they are really cool and extremely terrifying.
unfortuntely this scenario is closer then most think or realize.
I guarded special weapons (as they are called by military personnel) on board the last of the Iowa class, USS WISCONSIN BB-64. Most missiles in the military can be converted from conventional to nuclear by changing the warhead. A "nuke" can be carried in a special briefcase.
It's hilarious that people think that our land based ICBM locations are "commonly" known. People really think we don't have probably double that amount of silos in places that aren't known?
Hello my friends. I'm always glad to turn on my phone and see you guys there.😊😊😊😊
A lot of countries have alliances with other countries, in most cases they have to step in and help the other country. one of the big reasons so many countries got involved in both world wars is because they had alliances with other countries and if they didn't step in it would ruin their relationship with the other country and most likely would hurt them because most alliances are made because having that country on their side helps them economically.
The thing about it though being that close to a nuclear bomb when it goes off it's like you there one second and gone the next you never existed in one second
You know this video they are reacting to is top notch when the narrator spends the entire time saying "nucular."
My fellow Americans, it's "nuclear." It's two syllables, not three.
That’s why it’s called MAD…Mutually Assured Destruction…because it is MAD…but you have to ensure that your adversaries understand that you have both the capability and will to do it…a classic Mexican Stand-Off…it’s crazy but it keeps the peace, for the most part…
"War... War never changes."
The world can survive wars but a nuclear war there is no planet left. Since its just you and the mrs i suggest you look up roy bemevidez heroic vietnam story. Hes a medal of honor recipient.
Nuclear winter would affect Kiwis too, plus Wellington and Auckland are on the target list with Australia, unfortunately. Auckus…smh
Hey guys, we are Americans from the New England area..., although our toilet bowls will automatically fill the bowls with water after every time they are flushed, but they will never fill them to the top, but just enough to prevent the unwanted smell coming back up from the pluming. Yes, some / many homes in the States do have heated bathroom floors, kitchen floors and heated swimming pools as well as heated toilet seats.... . and ready for this? The heat settings along with all of the electronics of the house are adjustable all the way from Europe or Asia just in case you are traveling, so your sweet nest will be in perfect temp, the curtains will either be opened or closed (depend on your preference) and your beloved music will be playing the very moment you walk into the front door... . The toilet seat will be toasty warm too!
P.S.
Haha, we also have computer controlled (which will remember your preferred settings) heated car seats for the winter (air conditioned seats for the summer), automatic dimming / heated side view and rear view mirrors and the heated steering wheels. The sound system of the car will also automatically adjust to the levels of road noise as well.
WE ARE SPOILED!!!
Make's me jealous that you live in New Zealand. I live in one of the West Coast cities which the illustration showed being destroyed as civilian a population target.
my son is currently training on the subs in the navy.
simply said if one is launched from any where the world is done
Have a great day
