“The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” - Carl Sagan

I guess the Terminator had it right all along... "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"

It's pretty sad that billions of lives are held under the thumb of madness.

The United States ICBM locations are common knowledge because they are used as a target for incoming missiles. The goal is to get an enemy to target the I icbm locations while still allowing many of our most valuable nuclear weapons free for the secondary attack or response attack. It's a diversion, It's essentially the world's most deadly and dangerous game of misdirection.

Imagine if instead of spending billions trying to kill each other we used it to help each other

"And how the US could win a nuclear war" "Win" and "Nuclear war" shouldn't be in one sentence

I live and work by Barksdale AFB and constantly have B52s flying over they are really big and it’s kinda scary to think one single bomb could destroy the whole city

The greed, lust, gluttony, laziness, wrath, envy, and pride of just a handful corrupt politicians can seriously place billions of lives at risk

В ядерной войне нет победителей. Очень жаль, что гордыня у многих политиков на первом месте, а не жизнь простых людей

I'm 64 years old (today, actually, 7/22/22). I retired from DOD two years ago.. I'm amazed at how casually, people, who should know better, talk about nuclear war with Russia. They are out of their freaking minds.

One thing that really stands out to me is just home much more powerful these bombs are from the ones we had less than a couple generations ago

It'll certainly make a difference to the weather forecast; _"Well we're in for some warm blustery conditions tomorrow, top temperatures around the 2 million degree centigrade mark, gusts of upto 25000 mph._ _"But a bit of a change on Saturday, temperatures dropping right back down to nearly absolute zero -270⁰C, temperatures remaing in this region for the next 20-30 years._ _"So if you are going out this weekend, do wrap up warm."_ 🙂

I was a medical doctor in the US Navy assigned to Marine Corps infantry units. I was fully trained in the medical effects of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. Your prayer should be "let me be at ground zero". You can't imagine how horrific surviving a nuclear strike would be.

As Albert Einstein put it . We don't know what weapons ww3 will be fought with , but ww4 will be fought with sticks and rocks.

Did no one comment on how he mixed up North Dakota and Montana? Montana is to the west of ND. Geography aside, are there tactical advantages of having them all inland and towards to north?

Just a reminder. It took humans less time to advance our weapons from the refined sword to the nuke then it took to go from the broad sword to the refined sword.

I served 6 years, USN as an MT (Missile Technician, C3 Poseidon missile system) aboard boomers in the mid 80’s. We were responsible for every system (from flight control equipment, hydraulics, heating/cooling systems, every aspect from loading to close out) and I remember every time we drilled for launch how much weight everyone carried knowing what it meant if it were an actual launch. Knowing exactly what would come after, and knowing what the world would be like if we were to actually make it home. We all knew from extensive training exactly what these weapons would do, exactly how it performed when deployed from launch to detonation and the result, and I promise you it’s scarier than what you could possibly imagine. I also know that it’s a necessary weapon and I pray deterrence will still be enough to prevent an attack on US soil. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Contrary to movies and what most believe, there is no detonation button to blow it up in space. When it launches it will reach its targets with precision, and it will destroy everything in it path and would only take our sailors minutes to launch every one of them. Let’s pray we never have to. There’s no do overs.

as an American I've traveled abroad quite a bit and have found people everywhere to be friendly for the most part and have always been treated with respect and got along very well with foreigners its sad that a handful of greedy politicians has the power to determine the fate of all of us

If anyone is wondering the game is simplerockets 2 (Juno: New Origins).

Those sound effects sent a cold chill down my back spine! 😨

Albert Einstein said it best. “I’m not sure how a nuclear war will be fought, but I know the following war will be with sticks and stones”

It’s so sad that we as Americans actually live in fear of this sort of thing. I go to work, bust my ass, come home and care for my children, and worry that I won’t get to see my kids grow old because some old men are making threats to wipe each other’s country’s out. A pissing match where me and my family could die from it. So pitiful and pathetic. Get right with God because it’s approaching faster than we know it.

"There are no winners in a nuclear war. It is unfortunate that the pride of many politicians comes first, and not the lives of ordinary people"

Wow that's insane, scary, and comforting

"John Connor : We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean." The Terminator : "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."

No matter how it plays out The whole world suffers.

I really hope they have updated the East Asia Targeting List since 1956.

$80bil for Ukraine, $12bil for Hawaii. Shows how much the American government cares about their own people.

Every secret plan has another secret plan with a secret plan on top of another secret plan. We’d probably never know how it will go down

Those of us who grew up during the Cold War are old enough to remember when the idea of nuclear war with Russia far from "unthinkable."

Great posting. Everyone in the world now know how many, where and locations of our rockets and air force bombers places.

Nice Simple Rockets 2 (aka Juno: New Origins) cinematics

I remember practicing drills when I was a kid in school in the event of a nuclear/other attack from a foreign adversary. Looking back, it was kind of a joke... like pretending you're not going to be affected by it as long as you either duck under your desk, or get marched down to the bomb shelter. It used to upset a lot of kids, that unknowing feeling, because it was a regular topic of conversation for everyone. And it should upset people... still today. There's no running and hiding from such attacks and surviving. If you're in a designated location by the enemy... just kiss and say "goodbye". I hate war with a passion, and I'm a proud veteran. The possibility of countries throwing tantrums and murdering one another aren't that unrealistic today. Not now.

It’s funny that people actually believe we know how many weapons our military has

Semakin jelas dan padat

8:42 This fact alone is crazy.

No such thing as "Winning a global nuclear war".

This is the most scariest thing I have ever watched seriously. The situation is very grim when u think about it. Truth is, humanity doesn’t need to engage with this behavior.

The animation is beautiful.

Everyone seems to forget about the nukes on our aircraft carriers.

"As far as disadvantages...there simply are none". Perfectly stated.

“Where there is Fear, there is no Peace and where there is Peace,there is no Fear”~Truth

"I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world"

Bro there’s definitely a bunch of missile silos no one knows about.

" In the nuclear world the true enemy is war itself " - Crimson Tide

The whole question is how not to fight a nuclear war.

I like this. This is fun.

The idea that we can "win a nuclear war" is absolute insanity but the world has become more and more insane the last few years people aren't thinking sanely or rationally anymore 😞

I was airborne radar aboard the AWACS during the Iranian /Iraqi war and the cold war with Russia. Most don't know that Russia used their Bear bombers to supply Cuba. So every 2-4 weeks these bombers would fly along our eastern seaboard on their way to Cuba. I can say this much, there was many times for the potential for WWIII to start during this time. We do not want to go into another cold war with a nuclear powered country.

Amazing how easy old psychopats get control over such deadly arsenals and play with each other like there's a 2d planet to resurrect on.

Fascinated

We need Myth busters to do a test cause my main worry is do fat people get blown as far as skinny people with the blast wave?

It’s really fucked up to think we live in a world where our lives and everything we love could just be gone in a second because of governments especially small countries that have no say in wars smh

It’s amazing. We can’t find ways to live in peace but it’s so easy to destroy each other.

Armoured vechicles galore.Australia has 2400.not much of a navy though

WW1 = 4 years WW2 = 6 years WW3 = 1 day

Who remembers watching the movie "the day after?" Jason Robards was in it. We grew up worried about this stuff. Now we have these worries again.

I’m just glad that we have wise, capable and strong leadership should this ever happen

I used to love playing missile command.

I remember seeing a comic of a flying saucer and two aliens looking at the Earth. The Alien at the computer says, "Excuse me, Commander: The Humans have successfully split the Atom. They have nuclear weapons." 🫡 The Alien commander asks, "Are they a threat?" 👽 "I'm not sure, Commander: They seem to have pointed them at themselves." 👽

It feels like it's imminent now. I'm in Canada so will probably die from the fallout/radiation, unfortunately. I rather just be in the center of that blast radius and call it a day. What an absolutely insane world we live in.

If you hear the sirens hug who is nearest to you and say goodbye...

It would be smart if they stop advertising everything letting the enemy know everything they need to completely counter

I think all the other creatures on this planet collectively if they could would come together and vote human beings off the planet for good.

This is one of the highest qualitiy videos I've seen on YT in a long time. Well done.

This is MAD! Mutually Assured Destruction

how do you get your info on the warheads

When will you be uploading Part 2, this was very interesting and enlightening 👍✌

Everyone would lose! All people, the environment, all land animals, all insects, all birds, and all fish. There are no winners in nuclear war 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

Instead of triad,what about quadred- with space based star wars weapons added.Ya know we got em!

thank you for disclosing vital information to the ennemie ,,,,,,what kind of channel is this

I learned a lot watching this. I am sure a lot of information is classified but this does give us a good baseline of understanding

That question at the beginning, "Could the United States win a global thermonuclear war?" overlooks the whole underlying truth, that being that NOBODY wins a global thermonuclear war.

old cartoon by Gahan Wilson, "guy, crawling out of the rubble, "I think we won."

I live close to BArksdale. It is really cool when they test drive the bombers and you see them flying around Shreveport.

After such a war nobody would be left alive to recount it.

A submarine cannot launch its missiles undetected. It is undetected up to the moment it opens its first missile hatch, then it is completely vulnerable.

I think this shouldn't be shown on KZfaq our enemies could be watching were our missiles are hidden

I don’t think the “pinpoint accuracy” thing really is a problem when it comes to a nuclear war!

No one would win, everybody would lose. Total destruction for the pride of a handfull men 😢

They make it look glamorous

What’s the song at the end. It’s badass

Very interesting. In the late 70's I was stationed at a SAC base in northern Maine (Loring AFB). According to Wikipedia, Loring had the largest stockpile of nukes in the continental US. We had nine B-52's on 24 hour alert. They were loaded to the max with fuel and nukes. To reach the USSR, the bombers would essentially fly over the north pole. From the US it was the shortest route. For this reason, we were told that Loring was the 2nd highest priority for attack if a nuclear war broke out between the US and the USSR. Of course, Washington DC was priority one.

“A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.”

Is it possible to locate enemy subs by using the same idea we used to find the pyramids in s. America. We dropped A bunch of micro burst and used sonar to locate. What if we did this user water? Would it work

Madness.... complete Madness

This gave me chills, damn.

Best video you have made by far! The animation and the commentary is way better than any of the automotive stuff!

The shortest distance to your target is from a missile launch from space not from the ocean or a land location across continents

Like an alien in a movie once said. If you can't take care of your own planet, you don't deserve it.

Isn’t it horrifying that everything we know and love can be gone in minute. Everything we have worked so hard for in this thing called life just gone for nothing

I am I AM SIMPLY GOING TO LAUGH 😂 HISTORICALLY ICONIC

The remote wireless launch capability is old tech which I doubt has been updated much nor pen tested much so it would seem obfuscation is probably the strongest part of the security preventing others from taking advantage of the wireless launch capability. Theoretically one would only need equipment capable of making the broadcast and then broadcast the correct signal.

Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Amazing!!! Please make more that was unbelievably incredible!! It really helped to open my eyes to just how real and dangerous everyday life is with the constant risk of nuclear war!

Bro went from making car videos to nuclear war

There was a time that this wouldn't even be a discussion

6:13 really makes you understand how horrific nuclear would actually be

When a submarine is named the "Ohio class", you know it's dangerous Edit: Its a damn joke chill

In the begining we would use rockets and bombs, nothing new. But I think we would wind up using clubs.
