6 minutes, wonderful! That should give Biden enough time to piss twice, mention something unfathomable, inappropriate, creepy and/or unrelated to whatever is going on, so we MIGHT fire back, but the inbound missiles would be overhead by that time. I imagine though, if Biden gave the military ANY issues returning fire, someone would cap him and do it themselves, prior to forcibly acquiring his codes.

Aside from the obvious answer (she is shedding light on a subject most people have no control over and would rather not think about if they can help it). I think the reason she rubs me the wrong way (and I only speak for myself) She seems to be using sensationalism to drive book sales. An example is when she contradcits herself by saying these nuclear submarines are virtually indetectable, yet she found documents mapping the locations of foreign nations subs off our coasts. All in order to illustrate how scary the subject is and how little control anyone has to prevent it. Just my $0.02

Great book, highly recommended if interested in the subject of nuclear war/end of the world ideas. I’ve been into this since high school in the 90’s and seeing a movie called The Day After. This book also freaked me out! Because of how fast could happen. Grew up in northern MN on the ND border in a very small town called Fisher. It’s even shown in the movie War Games. Used to go to the air shows every summer. Grandparents lived in far western ND, as time went on found out how many of the ICBM’s sights were on the side of the road. It’s amazing how fast it could all end…

She has such an amazing smoothing voice

"The Day After" 1983 and even better movie "Threads" 1984 shows most of what comes along with and after nuclear war. The second mentioned has a textual ending disclaimer before the end credits: "The film is fictional. The real-life outcome of a nuclear war would be much worse than the events portrayed onscreen".

@@ebenezer6844 1980. A group of Titan II missile techs dropped a $6.00 spanner that bounced against and ruptured the missile case as it fell all the way to the bottom of the silo 50-60' below. The missile fuel oxidized as it contacted the atmosphere which in turn started a fire. Every nuclear bomb -- including thermonuclear ones -- start with a conventional explosion that "primes" the initial reaction. At a certain temperature the conventional explosive component of a nuke will cook off. So it was a horse race: would the conventional part of the Titan warheads blow up, thereby igniting all the thermonuclear warheads on the Titan? Or would the propellant explode first? Fortunately, the propellant in the Titan II ignited completely first. This blasted the heavily armored lid off the silo and scattered the Titan's MIRV warheads over several miles of Damascus, AR. We could have had a "dirty" bomb disaster or a multi-megaton thermonuclear detonation(s). Think about how close to a gigantic, god-awful tragedy we came-- over a $6 wrench that was accidentally dropped.

The severity of retaliation is not the deterrent. It's the certainty.

As crazy as it may sound to some, not launching on warning greatly reduces the opportunity for reponse and this policy creates a strong deterrent

when I read the title of the video. I didn't think it was something taken seriously. But after listening to them talk so seriously about the subject and with so much concern and information, I have changed my mind. Now the one who has been worried is me

Its messed up but why is there even an option if they launch we launch you could wait till it hits but you need to respond right?

I love Annie. She is so good at telling her stories I really need to read her books

I’ve had dreams/nightmares of being in a nuclear blast. Panic and screaming and then see huge flash of light and then feel tremendous heat envelope and lift my body, then flying through the air, weightless and looking all around me at grey matter and rising up. Felt calm and no pain. So bizarre.

With rocket launches daily all that had to happen to miss launch or warning is to launch a "supply mission" that supplies a nuke.

I vaguely recall a documentary that said that during the Cold War at some point several people in the US gvt could've launched, and without even notifying the President. As in, at some point there were those security briefs for a limited number of people, and the President was taken off the list.

British subs, and likely American subs too, have something like this. They have protocols that say if comms go down and other conditions are met, you can assume a nuclear war happened and wiped out the government. The British subs have a letter the Prime Minister writes that is only opened by the sub commander in such a scenario. Nobody really knows what’s on the letter.

A book that left me feeling slightly nauseous for all the right reasons. Annie is so detailed, the book is so meticulously & tirelessly researched. I don't know how we go about globally dismantling or reducing this capability that has the very real ability to entirely destroy nearly all life on earth, but I hope this starts the dialogue before our precarious geopolitical situation

it's actually the only defense against such devastation. the knowledge from the attacking side that your target will know that you are about to obliterate them within a second that you decide to attack. and that this will mean that you will be obliterated all the same. so now that button means: self-destruction. but it can take one lunatic to press that button. insane.

It is important to realize that the flight paths are over the polar caps, North and South, not across the ocean East/West. That is why the time is less than a half hour.

Except the very first one will not launch from the other side of the globe. First ones will be 20 to 60 seconds from detection to impact. Also, many warheads are unaccounted for, it is possible for the first strike to be a smuggled in weapon that simply just detonates. Either way, prep prep prep; better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

There is NOTHING in the inventory of any country that has been proven capable of intercepting an incoming icbm in real world scenarios, except in very highly scripted SIMULATIONS.

@@gaiadruid thank you. They actually talk about it in the full interview. We have them but we don't have many and they will not have a chance at shooting everything down.

So, the ICBMs indeed cannot be recalled once launch has occured. They do however carry the capability to receive in flight commands to remain sub-critical upon arrival to their target, therefore non-nuclear damage will occur. This is designed to keep the situation flexible once the launch command has been given.

Why does the scenario imply we know which country the submarine in the middle of the Pacific ocean belongs to ? Isn't there a scenario where we don't know who's attacking?

What about the nuclear torpedoes that can remotely move into harbours undetected. They would be a first strike weapon. How safe are the nukes systems from hacking?
