I remember Pickles was the one demanding how launch commands had to be obeyed and blabbing about response time.

No. I had given up on SA by the end of the Reagan Administration.

As if Scientific American has the ability to prevent the porcine dictator in North Korea from launching his.
Ludicrous concept.

...because we need a committee to approve a counter-strike when inbounds are on the way.

Once again scientists show they are not very smart. They will be collecting data as Congress is debating a proportionate response to a missile attack.

Launching should not be a vote by a committee decision.

Debate? No one will debate if Kimmie nukes DC. Just N Korea will be visible at night from the satellite.

In just five minutes an American president insane, loonytoons NORK dicatator could put all of humanity in jeopardy. Added some truth to this fiasco. Scientific American is nothing but a liberal rag. It has really gone downhill since I subscribed to it back in the 60s and 70s.

Sorry, but entire article is BS. POTUS cannot launch on his own. SECDEF, SECSTATE, AG or others at that level must "confirm" order.

Nope...but I remember them in the 1980s. Liberals project their own traits on their opposition.
Also, the silence during Barry’s Lybia excursion was deafening, compared to the calls for Bush to have congressional authorization in Iraq...a delay that likely enabled the smuggling of wmd out of the country.

My immediate thought as well.
SciAm has gone downhill fast.

Let the US Senate vote on it. LOL!

“Sorry, but entire article is BS. POTUS cannot launch on his own. SECDEF, SECSTATE, AG or others at that level must “confirm” order.”
Yeah, that’s the other thing. Their premise is wrong.
