I would guess. Situation Room $5M. The Back or Operations Office/Room would be about $45M.

I wonder how much the new White House bunker deep under the North Lawn ended up costing. You know, the one the President would have to use if he can’t make it to the military bunker in Pennsylvania or the FEMA bunker on the Virginia/West Virginia border. The one that Ronald Kessler told the Washington Post of its existence.

@@darkchocolate3390 yes for the best tech nobody has access to, developed just for you, software made just for you, and the whole complex set up cost 50 million? thats a bargain for real. I am pretty sure you can do things in there that they aren't saying like breaking down firewalls hacking, satellite camera control you. know the stuff the pentagon got. its like a baby pentagon in there😂. they probably think its just tvs and fancy tables, computers on the watch floor, looking at KZread and blog post on the watch floor and reporting to the president a hurricane about to hit Panama. nope alots of tech in there and super computers.
I thought Wolfe Blitzer was in the situation room.
Given the amount of logistical and security-related work that would have been necessary to do this, $50 Million is a pretty good deal. Literally every nut, bolt, and screw that goes in a place like this has to be vetted and checked to ensure it’s not going to breach the security of the information discussed therein, to say nothing of being built in a bunker and designed to withstand some major damage and keep running. Like, this isn’t just some office conference room.

they better be. they will be sitting there for hours depending on what threat they are looking at or dealing with. a 6 hour flight on the wrong airline is a problem😂 so dealing with a threat with your allies and negotiations over video conference for Hours they need comfort. last thing we need is people ending important meetings early that could change global events cause they cant sit still for too long and at their age. 19 year olds not in there. people can barely sit still at work. now they got monitors which twists, desks that move up and down so people can stand in their operation centers at work.
Looks really classy. I like it.
