A very interesting short film on an Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarine with great footage aboard.
Below will be posted links that further explain the technologies.
None of this is classified and all is in the public realm.
Amazingly.
But that is how unstoppable and capable this deterrent is.

Great stuff. But our safety gap right now isn’t addressable by boomers. We have open borders, enemies within the country already, and occupying the White House.

When you absolutely, positively, must kill 200 million people in 30 minutes, call a Trident boat.

These boats ensure our ability to fight those immediate, internal threats, without outside interference.

"The best weapon on Earth is useless without the will to use it."
So true.
However, would even Obama allow US cities and military assets to burn without retaliation?
How long would that last...15mins until he was declared incompetent/unable...or shot in the head from behind?

Hadn’t thought of that. But you’re right. The fact that we aren’t fighting and won’t fight those internal threats without at least getting Trump elected looms ever larger.

You could be right.
And he would meet a short and cold end if he started down that road.
As would any and everyone in that chain of command.
