There have been several incidents where warning systems glitched out, and only the quick thinking of a handful of individuals stopped an actual launch from happening.

I live right next to one of the largest airports in the world.
I see 5-10 parallel lines in the sky multiple times a day.
I also live next to one of the largest airports in the world, which is a few miles from a national guard base located right outside one of the largest cities in America.
I’m probably in the fireball radius of a nuke, assuming the Russians haven’t been embezzling their government money and are still fueling their hydrogen bombs, so if the big red button gets pushed, I’ll just get vaporized about half an hour later.
Don’t shoot yourself just because you see lines in the sky. You’re either close enough to civilization for planes to make lines in the sky, in which case the bombs will probably get you anyway, or you’re so far out in the sticks that you’ll have plenty of time to make a decision.
MIRVs have been a thing for like 50 years.
The US even took them out of submarine launched missiles, because they made the soviets so nervous we had to promise that we couldn’t delete half of their country in 15 minutes.
But don’t worry, nuclear war happens so fast, and diplomatic channels are so slow, if anyone launches anything, everyone is practically forced to launch everything or risk losing it. So even if Russia did just launch one to destroy 10-15 cities, all of the cities everywhere would be destroyed anyway.
MAD is like 2 men standing in a lake of gasoline, one man has 3 matches, the other has 5, both threaten to use their matches if the other uses his.
Russia is saying they’ll use their matches if the other guy throws a rock at him. The fucking situation is stupid and I hope that my ashes get blasted to a different planet when the bombs go off. I don’t want to even be a part of this stupid planets carbon cycle anymore.
How bad is school where teenagers are jumping off buildings to avoid starting the school year.
So, WWIII by January?
…no
Do you not understand how an army works?
Unfortunately, the US has a launch on warning policy.
So even if every warhead Russia has is a dud, or doesn’t even re-enter the atmosphere, they’ll still be nuked into a fine mist of concrete and carbonized human dust about 20 minutes after we realize their bombs don’t work.
And then the rest of us get to live through nuclear winter.
As long as no one’s nuclear trigger fingers get itchy, I’ll be happy.
They likely have little idea of what being governable means.
They’re an uncontacted tribe. All they know is some strange people showed up on their land and started wrecking the place.
If some people showed up at your house, wearing strange clothes and speaking a language you don’t understand, started tearing down your walls and throwing out your food, wouldn’t you resort to some kind of violence to defend yourself and your home?
This must be terrifying for them, especially because a lot of uncontacted tribes have oral histories about being forced out of their original lands by what we know to be mercenaries.
She is a face for modern femininity, not saying that that is her goal, but a lot of women do admire her.
So if you don’t think she’s a good role model for women, and you’re a complete lunatic, attacking her events to oppress women’s feeling of empowerment does check out.
Do they also do Olympic penis inspection day for the make athletes?
Step 1) be president or former president
Step2) promise to hand over national secrets
Step 3) make sure to stay president so you can cling to the “get out of jail free card” that the justice department printed for you the first time you obviously broke the law.
Profit this quarter matters more to these people than how many die in the next century.
They’d rather make a dollar today than save a life tomorrow.
Bold of you to assume that our hunter gatherer descendants will even know what an Israel was.

Right now nothing is leaking.
The leaks are only present when the fuel system is open or ready to fire
It’s having problems with its RCS system
The thrusters that turn the craft around and allow precise movement aren’t working properly, they barely got the thing to dock with the ISS.
Despite what nasa says publicly, I’m sure there’s a lot of internal debate about if it’s even safe to undock the thing from the station. If it loses orientation control while still close to the ISS, it could easily damage the station and kill people. That’s if some of the damaged thrusters aren’t the ones that allow the craft to go backwards, kind of important if you want to leave the station.
Can they wait until Saturday to drop the nukes?
I want to sleep in before I get turned to dust
