Injured, decorated WW II Bob Dole famously blamed the Democrat Party for all of US’s 20th century wars. Now it looks like another Democrat president is flirting with war on a whole new scale - thermonuclear
It’s disappointing to see so many Freepers supporting Biden and his warmongering. You’d think Trump and MAGA had never come along - it’s as if many Freepers are still living in the age of Bush-McCain-Cheney.
Hope we don’t get a catastrophic war because of it. Eastern Ukraine isnt worth a nuclear war. (But at least the elites will survive in theirvluxury underground fortresses, so that’s the one silver lining while the rest of us fry for Ukraine)
Reading One Second After, and the subsequent novels was very eye opening. Granted it was fiction, but the scenarios he paints are really too feasible.
And in the last novel, he addresses how that the government had warning of the EMPs and evacuated certain, select government players, that were, IMO the equivalent of the DS. The subversive, elite class who only looked out for themselves and wanted to be in power after they got done destroying this country.
It won't help them in the least if they save their bodies and yet lose their own souls.
Guaranteeing that those who start the war will have the best chance of surviving it. Something for those of us who survive to remember.

Remind us all again, which foreign country has Biden sent US troops to invade?
The Rand Hymn
Oh, the Rand Corporation’s the boon of the world
They think all day long for a fee
They sit and play games about going up in flames
For counters they use you and me, honey bee
For counters they use you and me
It’s so nice to know we have Rand on our side
We’ll always have good old Rand around
A zillion will be fried out, but in some neat hideout
Rand will be safe under ground, praise the Lord
Rand will be safe under ground
With a stroke of the pen, they can change us from men
Into numbers that flash on thе wall
These brainy heroеs transform us to zeros
So who gives a damn if we fall, after all
Who gives a damn if we fall
Their superior genes will be safe behind screens
With the rest of our line doomed to die
We’ll be all sorted out, past a shadow of doubt
By the all-wise electronic eye; bow down
To the mighty electronic eye
They will rescue us all from a fate worse than death
With a touch of the push-button hand
We’ll be saved at one blow from the designated foe
But who’s going to save us from Rand, dear Lord
Who’s going to save us from Rand
Pete Seeger
It will be interesting to see how they spin it to blame the coming nuclear war on Trump.
Everyone knows that Cheyenne Mountain and NORAD are fronts behind which Stargate Command works. . . . (grin)
“This News article’s a few years old..”
So you’re abusing the forum by posting old filler as news after joining last month.
So they have no incentive to prevent nuclear war. They can run and hide while we roast. Then they have the nerve to think that their genes are better than ours and can form the basis of a new civilization.
A fresh window on American history: The eye-opening truth about the government’s secret plans to survive a catastrophic attack on US soil—even if the rest of us die—a roadmap that spans from the dawn of the nuclear age to today.
Every day in Washington, DC, the blue-and-gold 1st Helicopter Squadron, codenamed “MUSSEL,” flies over the Potomac River. As obvious as the Presidential motorcade, most people assume the squadron is a travel perk for VIPs. They’re only half right: while the helicopters do provide transport, the unit exists to evacuate high-ranking officials in the event of a terrorist or nuclear attack on the capital. In the event of an attack, select officials would be whisked by helicopters to a ring of secret bunkers around Washington, even as ordinary citizens were left to fend for themselves.
For sixty years, the US government has been developing secret Doomsday plans to protect itself, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its plans to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the plans to launch nuclear missiles from a Boeing-747 jet flying high over Nebraska. In Raven Rock, Garrett M. Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound (called Raven Rock) just miles from Camp David, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built its top leaders during the Cold War, from the White House lawn to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to Palm Beach, Florida, and the secret plans that would have kicked in after a Cold War nuclear attack to round up foreigners and dissidents and nationalize industries. Equal parts a presidential, military, and cultural history, Raven Rock tracks the evolution of the government plan and the threats of global war from the dawn of the nuclear era through the War on Terror.

Congrats, you found an article about an anti-Trump journalist who wrote a book about nuclear war - because Trump.
How many chronic leukemia patients will there be from the resultant radiation in the atmosphere? I’m one of those paying the price from the atmospheric testing of the fifties and sixties. I don’t wish my broken chromosomes on anyone else.

Most, if not all, are supporting the Ukrainian people, not their government which has done more to harm the country than the Russians, to date. Ukraine did not invade Russia.
So what you are saying is that its OK for Russia to invade a smaller country who should surrender and return itself back to Russian rule?
Do you have any idea what it is like to live under Russian rule, and why the people of Ukraine have said they’d rather be nuked than ruled by Russians again?
Every one of those hideouts are likely known to the Russians, and multiple warheads are target for each one.
Oh great, they’re going to save themselves…the absolute worst of America.
Yep...fer shur...that’s exactly where they are going to go.
They are gonna publish their secret hidey holes.
Oh, they HAVE hidey holes.
They are just not for you. At all.
The people that they are for already know about them, already know where they are and already have plans in place to get there.
They are very well stocked, very well powered, and very well protected.
You and I will never see the inside of one.
Someone in my family has been inside Raven Rock and it is pretty impressive. They have their own fire department with full size fire engines etc.
