Doesn’t surprise me in the least. I suspected the answers to both questions were what you responded, when I asked it. Good to have confirmation on my suspicions though, thanks.

What idiot would think that more than one person/committee should be the ones to make decision about a nuclear threat...good grief! We would all be dead by time the decision was made! Unbelievable!

There are days I just shake my head at the lack of common sense in this country! :)

Not since Reagan, who was supposed to be a dangerous cowboy who would start WWIII, yet somehow got the USSR to give up the cold war.

Somebody tell the editards at “scientific” American that the fat, little psychopath already has that power, and doesn’t give a fried rat-on-a-stick’s (Nork fine dining) arse what the editards at “s” A think.

Thank you for your service to our country. What are your thoughts about the 1983 Able ARcher incident? I’ve read accounts that a Soviet missile officer prevented a false warning from being transmitted up the chain, which would have potentially led to a massive retaliatory strike.

Also read that the Soviets were on hair trigger alert during the NATO exercise and nearly had bombers during the exercise.
