it's been over 80 years since a major conflict has broken out in europe the

0:06

conflict has broken out in europe the

0:08

result has left many with a deep sense

0:10

of uncertainty nearly 70 percent of

0:12

americans surveyed by the american

0:14

psychological association feared that we

0:16

are at the beginning stages of world war

0:19

iii the prospect of nuclear conflict

0:21

once unthinkable is now a very real

0:23

possibility today we're going to explore

0:25

the unthinkable how would the united

0:27

states respond during a nuclear conflict

0:30

what's america's nuclear war plan how

0:32

many nuclear weapons are readily

0:33

available to the president where are

0:35

they what are their targets how many

0:37

missiles would be launched how many

0:39

casualties could we expect after

0:41

american bombs reach their destinations

0:43

what would the world look like going

0:45

forward and most importantly could the

0:46

united states win a global nuclear war

0:50

[Music]

0:57

the united states operates under a

0:59

nuclear triad consisting of land-based

1:01

intercontinental ballistic missiles or

1:03

icbms sea-based submarines armed with

1:06

submarine launch ballistic missiles or

1:08

slbms and air-based strategic bombers

1:11

carrying gravity bombs and air-launched

1:13

nuclear cruise missiles now let's take a

1:15

look at each part of america's triad and

1:17

its weapon delivery systems the first

1:19

and most well-known part of america's

1:21

nuclear trad is its land-based

1:22

intercontinental ballistic missiles or

1:24

icbms the us has 400 lgm 30 minute man 3

1:29

icbms that are launched via silos

1:41

these 400 missiles have a range of over

1:43

6 000 miles and have near pinpoint

1:45

accuracy when launched the three strays

1:47

miniman 3 travels at speeds of over 15

1:49

000 miles per hour reaching its target

1:51

in under 30 minutes each minute man 3

1:53

missile carries one warhead 200 minute

1:56

man 3 missiles are armed with a 335

1:58

kiloton w87 mark 21a warhead while the

2:02

other half are armed with a 300 kiloton

2:04

w78 mark 12 warhead each warhead has

2:07

around 40 times the destructive power of

2:09

the bombs dropped on japan in 1945.

2:14

america's miniman 3 silos are based in

2:16

three rural areas the 90th missile wing

2:18

at fe warren air base in colorado

2:21

nebraska and wyoming the 91st missile

2:23

wing at minot air force base in north

2:25

dakota in the 341st missile wing in

2:28

maelstrom air force base in montana each

2:30

wing has three squadrons and each

2:32

squadron has 50 minute man 3 silos

2:35

they're collectively controlled by five

2:36

heart and underground control launch

2:38

centers each operated with two military

2:40

officers around the clock at all times

2:42

in the event that launch command centers

2:44

are destroyed in a surprise attack or

2:46

the military officers inhabiting the

2:48

launch command control centers get cold

2:49

feet these missiles can and will be

2:51

remotely launched from an airborne

2:53

command center carrying out orders from

2:55

the president as with all things there

2:57

are advantages and disadvantages of the

2:59

silo based minuteman 3. its primary

3:01

advantage is that these 400 missiles

3:03

make the most responsive leg of the

3:05

nuclear triad america's land-based icbm

3:08

force has remained on continuous

3:09

around-the-clock 24 7 alert since 1959

3:12

they could be quickly launched in less

3:14

than five minutes america's silo based

3:17

a strategic advantage as well due to the

3:19

remote launch capability an effective

3:21

nuclear attack against america's

3:23

minutemen 3 silos will require at least

3:25

400 warheads a one bomb aimed at each

3:28

silo forcing the enemy to use and

3:30

deplete a considerable amount of the

3:31

nuclear arsenal but this strategic

3:33

advantage also highlights the minimum

3:35

3's disadvantages america's land-based

3:38

miniman 3s are inherently vulnerable as

3:40

their location is commonly known and

3:42

therefore silos can and will be easily

3:44

targeted as a result in the event of a

3:46

large-scale attack the president would

3:48

be put in a sticky situation he or she

3:50

would have to either use these 400

3:52

missiles or lose them forcing a large

3:54

scale of retaliatory attack in response

3:56

to perceived incoming warheads targeting

3:58

american silos with enemy missiles

4:00

already in flight the leader of the free

4:02

world would only have 15 minutes to

4:03

decide and once a missile is launched

4:06

there is no churning back

4:12

the second arm of america's nuclear

4:13

triad is its air-based strategic bombers

4:16

the u.s air force currently operates a

4:18

fleet of 66 strategic bombers america's

4:20

strategic bombers are organized into

4:22

nine bomb squadrons and five bomb wings

4:25

at three bases minute air force base in

4:27

north dakota barksdale air force base in

4:29

louisiana and whitman air force base in

4:32

missouri there are 300 nuclear weapons

4:34

currently deployed at strategic bomber

4:36

bases in the u.s an additional 100

4:38

tactical nuclear bombs are to plant at

4:40

nato air bases in europe america's

4:43

bomber fleet consists of 46 b-52 strata

4:46

fortress bombers and 20 b-2 stealth

4:48

bombers the b-2 stealth bomber can carry

4:51

up to 16 1200 kiloton nuclear gravity

4:54

bombs each gravity bomb contains a

4:56

massive payload of 150 times the

4:58

destructive power of the bomb drop to

5:00

hiroshima the b-52 strata fortress

5:03

bomber is a long-range heavy bomber with

5:05

the ability to travel up to 9000 miles

5:07

without refueling the b-52 carries up to

5:10

20 agm-86 subsonic air launch cruise

5:12

missiles when launched the agm-86

5:15

missile can travel over 1500 miles at

5:17

speeds exceeding 555 miles per hour

5:20

using its independent guidance system to

5:22

deliver a w80 150 kiloton warhead to its

5:25

target in less than 90 seconds each

5:28

warhead contains around 20 times the

5:29

destructive power of the bomb dropped on

5:31

hiroshima the primary advantage of using

5:33

air-based strategic bombers is that they

5:35

can be called back if necessary

5:37

furthermore subsonic air launched

5:39

nuclear cruise missiles are a lot harder

5:41

to defend against when launched an enemy

5:43

force would have to counter-attack each

5:45

missile individually making defense

5:47

costly and complicated the small size

5:49

also makes them difficult to detect on

5:51

radar

5:53

the primary disadvantage of strategic

5:55

bombers is their response time they take

5:57

a lot longer to get in the air and if

5:59

air bases aren't on high alert or if

6:01

planes aren't already in flight there's

6:02

a high probability of them being

6:04

destroyed in an initial surprise attack

6:06

this is particularly true for bomber

6:08

bases located in europe

6:35

[Music]

6:57

the last and most important part of

6:59

america's nuclear triad are its

7:01

nuclear-powered ballistic missile

7:03

submarines the u.s navy operates a fleet

7:05

of 14 ohio-class ballistic missile

7:07

submarines each submarine carries 20

7:10

trident ii submarine-launched ballistic

7:12

missiles the trident ii sobm is the most

7:14

destructive weapon in america's nuclear

7:16

arsenal each missile is armed with

7:18

either four or five 475 kiloton w88

7:22

warheads in theory each sub can launch

7:24

his entire 20 missile payload virtually

7:27

undetected in under seven minutes

7:37

when launched the three-stage trident ii

7:39

travels at speeds of over 18 000 miles

7:41

per hour has a range of over 7 500 miles

7:44

and typically reaches its target or

7:46

targets in around 15 minutes each

7:48

warhead is guided by a multiple

7:49

independently targetable re-entry

7:51

vehicle or mirv allowing a single

7:53

trident ii missile to deliver up to five

7:55

warheads to five separate targets just

7:57

one trident two missile alone armed with

7:59

five warheads has 154 times the

8:02

destructive power of the bomb dropped on

8:03

hiroshima overall the us has around 70

8:06

percent of all of its warheads on

8:08

submarines and with good reason

8:18

there are numerous advantages of the

8:19

ballistic missile submarine for starters

8:21

they make up the most survivable leg of

8:23

the nuclear triad ballistic missile

8:25

submarines are virtually undetectable at

8:27

sea their stealth design makes finding

8:29

one an almost impossible task giving

8:31

paws to potential adversaries with at

8:33

least 10 submarines on constant patrol

8:35

at all times ballistic missile

8:37

submarines assure that the us can strike

8:39

at any time anywhere even after a

8:41

surprise attack with each sub carrying

8:43

an average of 100 warheads each they

8:45

have enough firepower to make just one

8:47

submarine the sixth most powerful

8:48

nuclear power in the world in terms of

8:50

disadvantages there simply are none

9:12

when people imagine a nuclear war the

9:14

first thing that comes to mind is large

9:15

cities like los angeles and moscow being

9:17

incinerated in a blaze of nuclear

9:19

hellfire while this would definitely be

9:21

a likely outcome the reality is that

9:23

around 70 of the 1800 nuclear warheads

9:26

currently deployed by the united states

9:28

aren't aimed at large cities but instead

9:30

added enemy countries nuclear forces to

9:33

better understand this we first need to

9:35

take a look at america's current

9:36

strategic nuclear war plan also known as

9:38

a single integrated operational plan or

9:41

psyop first drawing up in 1950 the saya

9:44

focused primarily on the soviet union

9:46

while today most of the weapons in the

9:48

war plan still target russia other

9:50

countries such as china north korea

9:52

india and pakistan are included as well

9:54

in this video we'll take a look at a

9:56

nuclear exchange with the only nuclear

9:58

power comparable to the united states

10:00

the russian federation this portion of

10:02

america's nuclear war plan is called

10:04

major attack option 1. major attack

10:07

option 1 is the most demanding attack

10:09

option available to the president should

10:11

the commander-in-chief order major

10:12

attack option 1 the resulting attack

10:14

would consist of over 1 000 warheads

10:16

targeting russian nuclear forces

10:18

including icbm silos road mobile icbms

10:22

submarine bases primary airfields

10:24

nuclear storage facilities design and

10:26

production complexes critical command

10:28

and control facilities and civilian

10:30

population centers now let's take a look

10:32

at a major attack option 1 its russian

10:35

targets the american nuclear weapons

10:37

used and the overall outcome of an

10:39

american thermonuclear attack on russia

I realize you intended the second but feel it necessary to comment on the first. Ive seen other videos from that source and would say that IF there isnt funds from the descendant of the original Mockingbird or Obamas openly renewed Mockingbird flowing in there then the creator is at least heavily influenced by Mockingbird sources.

[dpetty121263]

Well I intend to survive, don’t know about you...My God will not take me home one second later so I do not worry about it as I am ready anytime as I have stared down real death 2 times so not worried.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I would have you consider that it would only take one Hiroshima sized device to cripple America. Just one. The panic and the internal hatred would take over, the supply chain would collapse - the economy with it very shortly thereafter, and America would quickly dissolve before our very eyes.

[Wuli]

If Putin makes only a tactical or minor strategic nuclear strike, my first guess is that the U.S. would make a massive all over Russia non-nuclear attack; hoping that makes Putin stop his nonsense and gets his generals to get rid of him.

[daniel1212]

Actually the enemy is within more than without:

REVEALING STATISTICS (or, Present Costs of the War Against God) (extensive if dated). A war which has cost America massively in souls, lives and money.

Yet it is the symptoms that are addressed, not the cause. Considering just one example, if a consensual religious practice - lets say the Lord's supper - was shown to be responsible for  92% of HIV infections among men aged 13 to 24 and male partakers were responsible for 83% (6,385) of all new HIV diagnoses in people aged 13 to 24 in 2019, and 81% of diagnoses of HIV infection among all Adolescents and Young Adults, plus (historically) a greatly increased incidence of other infectious diseases and premature death, and despite decades of attempting to tame it into being "safe," - and as significant cost to taxpayers - then it would be treated as the plague.

As regards financial costs themselves:

"The estimated discounted lifetime cost for persons who become HIV infected at age 35 is $326,500 (60% for antiretroviral medications, 15% for other medications, 25% non-drug costs). [Undiscounted "mean lifetime costs are $597,300 ($4,200)" "Discounted costs are highlighted throughout because they represent economic costs that take into account time preferences of individuals and society and the opportunity cost of funds"] The Lifetime Medical Cost Savings from Preventing HIV in the United States

Costs also can include those for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) [which was] at more than $1,700 for 30 tablets (https://mosaicscience.com/story/hiv-prep-truvada-prevention-sti-std-lgbtqi-gay-condom-pride/).

The cost for  PrEP medication is about  2,000 a month, and which "Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover." (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/stds-hiv-safer-sex/hiv-aids/prep) For any Medicaid insured HIV-negative adult 18 years of age or older patients, lab testing and prescription medication costs are 100% covered. (https://www.louisianahealthhub.org/teleprep/) 

In 2017, around 61,300 people were actively taking PrEP.

(https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/western-central-europe-north-america/usa) with the rate of PrEP users per 100,000 population in 2018 being 68. (https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states)

The Ready, Set, PrEP program makes PrEP medication available at no cost for qualifying recipients who lack prescription drug coverage, and  are tested for HIV with a negative result, and have a prescription for PrEP. (https://www.getyourprep.com/)

EDIT: "the federal government has announced that almost all health insurers must cover the HIV prevention pill, known as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, with no cost sharing — including for the drug itself and, crucially, for clinic visits and lab tests...This means...Truvada or Descovy, the two approved forms of PrEP, should now be totally free for almost all insured individuals....when taken daily, the tablet reduces men’s risk of contracting the virus from sex with other men by more than 99 percent...PrEP use remains largely limited to white gay and bisexual men...Gilead readily provides PrEP for free to lower-income people who lack health insurance, but the pharmaceutical company does not cover the associated clinic visits and lab tests...Since this spring, Truvada has been available in a generic form with a list price as low as $30 per month. By comparison, Descovy’s list price is currently $1,930 and Truvada’s is $1,842....

Which raises  raises private insurance rates and or taxes for all who pay them.  

Such are just part of the financial and societal costs  that affect every one to varying degrees due to man disobeying God's program, in which sexual union is only between male and female in marriage. And which provides the stable safe environment for trust and intimacy and for  children which are to result, versus  fornication as well as artificial contraceptives.

 

And beyond the financial and societal costs is the spiritual cost, of separation from God now and eternal damnation later  due to impenitent sin. For which only repentance and committed faith in the risen Lord Jesus is the solution, for Christ the Son of God  was sent by God the Father to be the savior of the world. And who therefore gave Himself for our sins on the cross of His death, paying the price for our forgiveness with His sinless shed blood. Thanks be to God.

Giving rise to dictatorship, rationing, and required social conformity.

There is no such thing as a ‘’nuclear war’’, certainly not in the conventional sense of the word. There is ‘’nuclear exchange’’.

One side or the other fires off first and the second power
fires off it’s response and it’s Hell on Earth after that. As Einstein said of such a scenario “The living will envy the dead’’.
