Valuwalk. Strange name for a news source. I went to their site and it was a typical news site nothing special or impressive about it. I checked out the news story on Google news. Usually a story like this would have hundreds of news sources. This story only had one, the highly unfamiliar, unknown, Valuwalk. When you want top secret news articles with amazing subjects and no corroborating resources or references take a walk to Valuwalk.

Washington and Russia came extremely close to a massive nuclear war because of a faulty 46-cent component that caused a computer glitch... "Computer glitch?"
Is that a technical term?

This put me in mind of Ronald Reagan’s famous off the cuff remark about launching the nukes...

Wasn’t that also the time that space aliens intervened to shut down both sides’ launch systems to save the human race?

in 1979. Jimmy Carter almost pushed the button? I doubt it.

The 1979 incident is not a secret. Hell, that’s been out there for years.

Poor decision by the Aliens...

Fortunately, Major “King” Kong woke up feeling under the weather that morning and so couldn’t take his bomber out.

That was one of my favorite Reagan high points of that era.
Along with, “I am paying for this microphone!”

You gotta wonder how many times that dump, the USSR, came close to doing stupid things like that. Valuwalk sounds like a generic name for CNN, like Yorktown is for Marsh foods here in Central Indianer.

I heard the Russians had a similar experience on their end. Some malfunction caused radar blips which could have been interpreted as a US launch, but some moderate level officer held off pending confirmation.
It’s disturbing. But, these days, I think whenever I see something like this in the news that it’s part of the incessant leftist drive to convince the US to self-disarm.

What if, what if? The US came within minutes of properly responding to the radar imaging of the Japanese air fleet on its way to Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. A proper warning and hundreds of US planes could have met the Japanese assault. What if, what if...?
