Russian oligarchs can’t spend their money in a nuclear wasteland. Putin’s gonna fall down some flights of stairs if he tries anything funny.
Also, the last time a Russian was told to deploy the nukes, he didn’t - which was good, because the order was a fluke.
Technically it want an order but malfunctioned alert system. He made a good guess that it’s just a glitch and neglected the protocol which saved millions and countries but he got a warning for not following the protocol… Just another day at military I suppose.
Context matters. If there are no escalations happening in world politics, why would there suddenly be an order to launch?
If the same glitch happened while Russian leaders are going hint hint nudge nudge towards their nuclear arsenal, would that operator do the same thing?
Maybe the worst thing about nukes isn’t that the button will be pressed on purpose, but that some damn fool thing will happen on accident and things happen before anyone can take stock of the situation.
No idea what you’re taking about tbh. As I said there was no order and it was during cold war iirc. Not sure what you mean by Russian leaders using glitch as an excuse. If it happened there would be no one left to blame.
This is why phrasing is so important… because I did not remember all that, but phrased myself so that you would do the web search…
…THE POWER~!
Thanks though ^; it’s pretty wild to think that almost on a fluke, we’d be living in nuclear winter right now.
Like histories dumbest and most impactful “whoopsie doodle”.
