Brit Reacts to USA's World War 3 Doomsday Plane 

Lessons not learned in blood are soon forgotten....

Yet another way is fool around and find out!!

"Always"

Si vis pacem, para bellum

@@sector986 Exactly

The points I came to make, probably done better than I would have. Thank you.

At one point we nearly made a nuclear powered nuclear weapon. It was a Stealth Bomber jet with a RAM Jet Engine powered by an un-shielded Nuclear Reactor. It didn’t have a singular nuke on board but SEVERAL. It was also designed to fly at low altitudes at Mach speed to avoid radar detection. All this means is that it would fly close enough to blow out ear drums, dust everything behind it with nuclear radiation while playing connect the dots across and entire with nuclear bombs. A singular apocalyptic gift to give to any warzone. It was a project that was canned because the government thought a Jet straight out of a James Bond movie was considered too “provocative”

Exactly! But don't worry, we'll find out about it in 20 years.

The US just announced a couple days ago the new sentinel missile. It’s 20x more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

I read something that was supposedly declassified with the JFK documents, but not sure how true it was. It basically said we were developing a nuclear weapon that could destroy an area the size of France, but never tested it. Pretty crazy stuff really @@fist-of-doom487

For real the unclassed info is always less

In fact? Where are the facts about such a submarine? Our aircraft carriers carry roughly 5k crew and those are the largest ‘known’ vessels we operate. I have a hard time believing that we have a submarine that large.

Yep, hiding under our desks while the civil defense sirens were going off. Now, they are our tornado warnings.

Will you be my friend?

You forget about old army one that was retired

When President Bush flex to the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, the plane had the designation "Navy One"

I got to see Air Force One up close when it was parked on our base at Offutt AFB while Bush was President back in the early 90's and visiting Iowa. It was parked in one of our E-4B spots. Marine One was parked in our hangar along with some Learjet. I was hoping I might be able to get a tour (I had top secret clearance), but couldn't make it happen. I had to settle for standing outside the restricted area about 100' away.

Love the warrior in a garden quote! 💙

Live just outside dayton, its a good museum...just dont about hanger 17

@@ryankepler9480 haha, it’s 18 I think.

What. they can't defend themselves?

The E-4B was in that along with also in The Sum of All Fears.

Wrong. UK wasn’t involved in Vietnam. If we are classifying our closest allies based on them fighting side by side with us that goes to the Australians. They have stood by us with every conflict since ww1. Every single one. But ya I would agree on geopolitical levels, the UK is the closest. Though we work in tandem with all primary English speaking counties. (5 eyes)

I'm afraid I did forget about Australia. But yes, I was speaking more on the geopolitical side of things. Or trying to, anyway. I do remember my dad occasionally talking about being partnered with Australians in Vietnam, and what hard core fighters they were, yet so friendly and well mannered to the people they fought beside. He had a lot of respect for them. I was basically trying to say that as far as ideas, equipment, etc. the U.K. is probably our closest. I know that we have sold them tanks, apachies, and quite a few other things to keep them upgraded.@@sector986

Also, just specualtion, but the next evoloution for C&C aircraft, would most likely be the Boeing 777 as they are in production and are getting rolled out to commercial flight companies already.

I giggled a lot bit at that statement

Our boats are just as quiet at 100 ft as they are deep, especially the SSBMs.

@@MichaelNaydeck I wasn't talking about noise just detection. There are many ways to find things in the water when shallow. If your looking.

The other major problem with using a sub for a command post is getting the president onto the ship quickly. He can be airborne in just a few minutes (Marine 1 from white house to Andrews and onto the command plane). Getting him onto a sub would be very difficult (see Hunt for Red October😊)

@@allenking4682 Great point👍

Modern submarines are not incredibly cramped and you do not need to have an antenna above the water. I have stretched my legs many times onboard submarines, run a 10k marathon on a treadmill between watches, and stretched out in my rack as I dozed off. It is no longer WW2.

@@MichaelNaydeck I probably should have said claustrophobic instead of cramped. I know that subs are much less cramped than they used to be, but as far as I know, there is still such a large prevalence of claustrophobia in society that the pool of people who can tolerate being in a sub for any length of time not as big as the group of people who can tolerate being on a plane for 2 or 3 days. Isn't it true that a huge percentage of humans have enough claustrophobic feelings that they could not be on a submerged sub for more than a few minutes, while a much smaller percentage of people have strong fears of flying? And as for communications, I know that subs can communicate when they are submerged, but only the very low frequencies can penetrate much depth of water, and communicating with those very low frequencies is super slow...like 1 or 2 characters per second...that's what I have learned about comms with subs at depth. Don't subs have to as least float a buoy, or put up a mast above water or even surface to get access to satellite comms and other EM bands that allow high speed data transfers? It would be very surprising to hear how the US Navy has gotten around all of that...though, you almost surely are not allowed to talk about it, right?

And he knew about it even before it happened! Hmmm

About an hour after the attack, I remember seeing an empty sky. Then, 4 planes coming from the general direction of an Air Force reserve base we didn’t even know had jets went supersonic overhead. The base is only, as far as I know, a reserve refueling station and hasn’t flown much else for over 20 years. They were hauling absolute ass directly towards Chicago. That was a very eerie experience.

A lot of Americans are big boys and girls and don’t need nor want the government providing everything. Part of why healthcare is so expensive is because of all the government healthcare entitlements handed out. When government gets the bill they don’t pay all of it which means healthcare jacks up the price on everyone else to cover their loses. Don’t you think it’s kinda odd wealthy Canadians who have universal healthcare opt to come to the US to get healthcare even after they have been taxed to death to pay Canadian healthcare?

@lanejohnson7656 Your points highlight important aspects of personal choice and government involvement in healthcare costs. However, the central issue remains that the U.S. allocates a substantial portion of its budget to military spending, which arguably comes at the expense of potentially funding universal healthcare. While it's true that some wealthy individuals may seek specialized treatment in the U.S., this doesn't negate the benefits or the desire for a universal system that ensures basic healthcare for all citizens. The high costs and inefficiencies in the current U.S. system, compared to other countries with universal healthcare, suggest that reallocating resources could provide more equitable and efficient healthcare coverage for everyone.

One is for Potus, Air force is the branch, Marine One is the Helicopters he flys on. Bush actually flew in a Navy One once as he landed on an Aircraft Carrier in a Navy Jet.
