World leaders played an interactive nuclear war game designed to test their responses to a terrorist atomic "dirty bomb" attack that threatened the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
David Cameron joined Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Xi Jinping and other world leaders to play a "nukes on the loose" war game to see how they would cope with a terrorist nuclear attack.
The German chancellor grumbled at being asked to play games and take tests with the Prime Minister, US and Chinese presidents around a table with dozens of heads of state at a nuclear summit in The Hague.
Her complaints were overruled because Mr Obama was keen on the idea and in on the surprise.
In the war game, played out by actors in a series of short films, a terrorist attack with an atomic "dirty bomb" takes place in the financial heart of an unnamed but Western metropolis. "It could be the City of London, or Wall Street, Milan or anywhere", summit leaders were told.
As the scenario unfolded, it emerged that the terrorists are from an unidentified global terror network and they have stolen nuclear material from an unidentified country that had poorly secured its radiological and nuclear stockpiles.

Interesting...
Makes you wonder how he's going to have any life once out of office, if he's that afraid.
---Opening Session at the Nuclear Summit and here's our clown...does he take anything serious????-----
Let me get this straight. 26 nations in the free world have just had a 17 day test of their strategic and logistic abilities tracking a ghost flight, capped off with an Obama-inspired war-game role play as he threatens Egypt over the Muslim Brotherhood?
you can’t make this kinda stuff up
There aren’t enough adults on the world stage, but Angela Merkel is one of them.
China will have nukes on subs by the end of the year according to an article I saw this morning.
I wish we could leave homosexuality out of the conversation...
Muslims worship a moon god. 4 "Blood Moons" are due this year on Jewish holidays........
In 2014, the first of 4 total lunar eclipses occurs on Passover (First Feast Day), April 15, 2014, followed by a solar eclipse on April 29, 2014, then the second total lunar eclipse occurs on the Feast of Succoth (Last Fall Feast Day), October 8, 2014, followed by another solar eclipse on October 23, 2014.
Me too, but it keeps getting shoved in our faces by the administration.
no kidding. Queen Maxima is a babe.
True enough but in the case of the Kenyan it’s fine with me if the rest of the world tries to read his mind. Giving away the secrets of a blitheringidiot is hardly a strategic disadvantage. Let ‘em think they know what’s on his pea sized mind. If push comes to shove a guy with four stars will escort the dumbass to a padded room and keep him quiet until the fight is over.
“If push comes to shove a guy with four stars will escort the dumbass to a padded room and keep him quiet until the fight is over.”
I agree with your first point but am concerns the only four stars left have spent too much time in the “steam room” getting to know their commander and having him “get to know” them.
Agree.
Checkmate. . .HQ/XOXX?
When were you there?
Did we cross paths?
To work out policy and procedures quirks . .in the middle of a crisis like that we don't want to find out key players missing or out of the loop, or that technology limitations exists where we can't communicate properly or do something/get something in a timely manner, etc. . .stuff like that.
Wargames are wargames, nuke or not.
Helped open it in 1978 when Sandy Vandenburg asked me to come for a year and stayed 8 years. It was XOOIR when I left and we were in BF922B. Since there’s only an E ring we were under the parking lot at River Entrance.
When I was there the purple water-faucet was just down the hall.
So. . .you ARE an old guy.
You’re first person on here I’ve ever met from the Project. You were there after John Warden.
Just watched a movie on cable, “White House Down”.
Guess who the villains were.
You got it.
White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
Oh, and guess who played the pres__dent... Jamie Foxxx.
