This lady is basically telling us we are all seconds away from nuclear annihilation, and everyone in the comments is like "this lady's voice is amazing.".
Imagine her whispering nuclear war scenarios in your ear right before bedtime Edit: I meant in the flesh, with her warm breath on your ear sending shivers down your... spine.
Hahah doy! Did you guys hear that?! Hahah doy. He said bears and nuclear weapons haha. Cuz Joe talks about bears and them eating them is something silly he’d say hahaha doy.
Petrov gets WAY too much credit for "saving humanity," and it's starting to annoy the shit out of me. Petrov didn't have launch authority or capability. That decision lay at the very top of the Soviet political and military hierarchy. There's 2 ways the Petrov story could have played out if Petrov had followed procedure and notified higher-ups in the chain of command that 5 missiles were detected to be inbound to the Soviet Union. Scenario 1: "Some Chicken Little Lieutenant Colonel is panicking at an early warning site claiming the Americans are attacking us with five ICBMs. The Americans aren't going to suddenly attack us with just five missiles. It has to be a glitch in the new satellite detection system. Demote that idiot to Private and have him clean latrines in Siberia for the rest of his career." Scenario 2: "We have word from one of our early warning detection sites that the Americans have launched five missiles towards us." "Just five?" "Yes. But the satellite detection system is new and known to have faults. It could be a false alarm." "COULD be a false alarm. So it could be ZERO missiles or it it could be FIVE HUNDRED missiles with a FEW THOUSAND warheads. By the time our radar facilities give confirmation, it may be too late to respond and most of our nuclear forces could be destroyed on the ground. I cannot take the chance. Order an immediate nuclear retaliation. Scramble our bomber force, and launch our missiles at the United States and its NATO allies."
@@africanfitnessconceptnot at all. She is peak sultry voice. Back in the olden days when I was a child a woman with a voice like this was implicitly understood to have a “hot” voice. Its even portrayed as such in media pre-2000s. Infinitely better than high-pitched upspeak with added vocal fry which is all too common these days.
It's not that we don't want to know about it, it's that we know there is absolutely nothing any one of us can do about it so why waste the energy thinking about it? We know we aren't in control here.
Because, the reality that nuclear war can't happen and must be avoided at any costs must be a part of the cultural zeitgeist. That means staying out of armed conflict with fellow nuclear powers.
Well, that IS the reason she's there. You know, to promote the book that she painstakingly researched and wrote. While you sit on your ass and stare your phone all day.
Trump had most of his own team turn on him. he had Americans hating each other over Covid. His only real challenge and instead of bringing us together, he thrived on conflict. Tell me, how is this the man to ensure peace when he delivered conflict in his own house? Serious question.
@@todorkolev7565 Why would any country attack the west? Waste of money and resources when the west is doing a great job of tearing itself apart on it's own.
The most terrifying aspect of nuclear war is the radiation. I thought the nuclear war docudrama "The Day After" was scary enough, but this discussion scares me more. As an older person, I grew up in the 'duck and cover' era of the Cold War, when we went through nuclear attack drills, and the kids would hide under our desks.
Modern nukes do not leave the radiation you're led to believe. Heck just look at Japan. They're proof a country can thrive after two nukes and prosper more then the real weapons of mass destruction.. African and Arab mass migration 😂😂😂 japan's clean paradise now look at Chicago
So far you've been worrying for absolutely no reason. It keeps people patriotic to be in fear of the big bad soviets. Red vs Blue. You've been brain washed.
It's the sincerity and honesty in her voice that brings chills up your spine. It really opens your eyes to the reality of how precious and vulnerable life truly is.
Joe’s sighs at the end are his realization that there’s nothing he can do for his family when this happens. There’s no safety, no time to prepare, just the end.
@@schradog01 you didn’t listen to the video. That bunker won’t work. You won’t last once the provisions are gone. Even though he’s rich, he doesn’t have 10-20 years of food and water. Nothing will survive.
As a father of two young daughters, I would prefer to perish with my family in the initial explosion rather than surviving. The thought of living in a post-nuclear war world is beyond imaginable hardship.
You're right. I would prefer that as well. Surviving under those conditions isn't for everyone. There are some people who are mentally and physically built to survive in such conditions.
"nuclear winter"? 😅 nuclear winter is as real as man made climate change. "would be like an asterioid hitting earth". 😅😅 Fear mongering politics, nuclear winter isnt serious.
Imagine being an old retired military or intelligence guy and getting a phone call from an author who wants to interview you for a book and hers is the voice doing the asking.
Worrying about nuclear war is like worrying about the biblical apocalypse. Your worrying about something that has never happened. Chances are extremely in the high trillions of multiples better chance that you will die on the way home from work today
This just fear-mongering bulshit don't even listen to it! This is not how our nuclear weapons or Russia's nuclear weapons work anymore our weapons are completely different all around the world and they were post the first nuclear exchange also does anybody live in the two places the United States hit after post World War ii? Oh that's right they do I'm sorry😂😂😂 and I know that's not comparing Apples to Apples but I am saying if you actually know what the hell is going on you understand that this is not how nuclear weapons work she's just copying the fear-mongering that went into everything during the 60s and 70s! Rogan's just fear-mongering he's now turn into a Fox News or a CNN😂😂😂
@@mattverville9227Right. Mutually assured destruction will prevent any nuclear war. There's no scenario where any nuclear nation launches nukes towards another nuclear nation and doesn't get just as many launched back at them.
Would anyone ever be so psychopathic to call a first strike, knowing that it would surely mean instant retaliatory death for their own kind, as well as the world?
The most terrifying issue of all this is that the only thing that is keeping all these horror at bay is conversation and a diminishing amount of mutual understanding.
When American Forces and Russian forces formed a joint task force at the end of the Serbia/Kosovo situation in the 90s, the Russian soliders universally believed America would launch a preemptive nuclear first strike on Russia as we felt they were at their weakest and they wouldn't be able to respond in kind. The US soliders were taken back by this quite a bit.
The film threads (1984) captured the feeling of dread and existential despair perfectly. It’s gritty and terrifying, anyone who finds this conversation interesting should watch the film (free online somewhere) or at least watch some of the clips posted on RU-vid. It’s extremely disturbing and no one I know seems to have even heard of it
Remember when Dick Cheney told us 24 years ago that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction", they never found any, we stayed for 20 years, and Dick Cheney got rich off oil. Now his daughter is a sitting politician.
@@marchcasino1555 He got rich off the war bc he was a Halliburton Board Member. They got weapon contracts for the war then again to rebuild in Iraq after the war. No other contactors were given opportunity to place bids. The entire system is corrupt.
@@spirti9591 Well, if she said so it must be true. Make sure you do NOT read this book: ''Death Object: Exploding The Nuclear Weapons Hoax'' by Akio Nakatani ( banned on amazon, just google the title ! )
When I was a wee young Navy lad on the USS Alabama (SSBN 731 B) during the first Gulf War, we used to joke that boomers weren't deployed to the gulf area because no one wants a nuclear missile to participate in any sort of conflict, and also that we didn't need to go over there because we could practically do our job moored to the pier. And while that part isn't completely true (you need some depth in order to launch missiles), you could do that from many areas that are quite close to the pier...
There also was a Russian solider on a nuclear submarine during the Cuban missile crisis that prevented nuclear war as well by correctly identifying a false alarm
Our government planned to start a war with Cuba by using drone passenger planes in a false flag terrorist attack. Those Russian subs made them think twice. They held on to those plans until a later date and a different target country who didn't have nukes.
@@get-o9o It was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Dropping low powered signal depth charges was likely in the doctrine at the time. Although it's undeniable that such an action escalated the situation
We were shooting down missiles with missiles in 1964, maybe earlier. My father led a missile crew in the Pacific islands. He told me all about it a few years ago before he passed away.
Russia hasn’t taken over Ukraine in over year and you expect them to be able to hold nuclear weapons in the hundreds? Look up Michael Sartain nuclear weapons where he explains how expensive it is to maintain a warhead.
"The big shots, try to hold it back Fools try to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end Whatever the hopeless may say" ~ "Manhattan Project" by the rock band Rush
This is all bullshit and fear-mongering exclamation mark it is well known if you have any type of physics chemistry degree that nuclear winter was something that would happen post the weapons we had in the 50s 60s and early 70s when we switched over to the new weapons it's not going to be so catastrophic post the weapons discharge it will still be fairly normal afterwards and when I say fairly I don't mean relative but it's not going to be what the game Fallout looks like post a nuclear exchange!
There are many different types of interceptors. She refers to the decades old systems that aren't relied upon. Thaad, ageis and patriot missle systems cand defeat ballistic missles.
What she neglected to mention is that in Sagens experiments he had to add an immense amount of soot to the atmosphere pre explosions to create the conditions for an extended nuclear winter. We would need destructive power of a mid sized asteroid to create anything like that which the entire of the world's nuclear arsenal would only equal a fraction of. Rest easy folks ✌️
@@kateofonenuclear fallout isnt what is suppose to cool the planet, its ash, which op correctly states is overblown. Radiation from a nuclear weapon basically low enough after 3 days to go outside.
Interesting fact: most people won’t really listen to horrifying and depressing stories, they will get up and walk away, or change the channel. So her having such a sweet relaxing voice and demeanor probably actually makes it so people will listen to what they wouldn’t usually.
By all means, be cringe and larp like all the other npc commenters saying the same thing. You bums have more comments talking about her talking about her book than she mentions her book.
Yeah, this whole story sounds like cold War propaganda, but whats really comical to me is basically the highly trained radar tech guy just did his job...I mean its actually his job to discern between a threat and a non-threat.
Just saw her on Shawn Ryan show and knowing that only the president can make a decision within six minutes of nuclear attack should make us all feel better🤣
