Is anybody prepping for Nuclear War?

[churchmouse]

I totaly forgot about Navel Avionics.
Its now Raytheon. Yep....thats a target for sure. Anyone know that in WW2 They built the Norton bomb site?

I saw Raytheon mentioned up thread and it came back that it had been renamed.
We had a service contract with them a long time ago on a couple of dedicated chillers. The hoops we had to jump through to have access was pretty extreme. Interesting place and I am sure it has completely changed since my time there.

And just think..

Yep. I have done work there as well. They search your tool kit take your cell phone and lock it up until you leave
Run a quick BG check and my sponsor that I did the work for had to remain with me the whole time. Even waiting outside the restroom. It was cool though. They do the guidance systems for missiles. Definitely a target

So question. Wouldn’t this effectively be a kamikaze mission? (Sending one to the USA) I would think ours would immediately be launched in retaliation so then not only is where they hit destroyed but where we hit is also. And no one knows what will happen when multiple go off could give us a moon landscape.

For me that’s what gives me hope that it doesn’t come to that. I could be completely naive and or missing something.

That's the essence of the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine. The most accurately named military strategy in history. It's MAD!

Most of us here old enough to remember living through any portion of America's Cold War with Russia knows this was basically the foundation of it. Each side liked to boast of their arsenal of world-ending weapons but neither side was willing to use them for fear of retaliation and subsequent eradication. This was the premise of Dr. Strangelove (referenced earlier) and also the 80s dark comedy Spies Like Us with Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd. The generals in that movie had a succinct summation of the MAD doctrine, "A weapon unused is a useless weapon" and therefore tried to provoke a nuclear war to justify their bottomless defense budget. So you're completely right in thinking the threat of retaliation is the most effective defense against an attack until some nutjob who doesn't know what decade it is or who's in charge has access to the button and pushes it thinking it's the button to summon more ice cream!

If we ever have a nuke war I hope the first missile lands on my head.

 

[DragonGunner]

I'm going to film it and you tube it, isn't that what everybody does these days.

Everyone just calm down, and fix me a drink of grain alcohol and rainwater. Make yourselves whatever you'd like

 

[indyartisan]

Absolutely

Well, if they get NYC, SF, Portland and LA, too...I'm in.

I'm pretty sure a full scale nuclear war would be the end of life on earth in large part, just due to the effects over the years afterwards.

Except for those d mn cockroaches!

Does anyone believe anyone will be making anything to put a targeting system into once the missiles start flying?

 

[KLB]

This is interesting

Nah, I think most of the politicians are in trouble.

It doesn't seem like they've marked Crane.

Tippecanoe county, IN made the list? Purdue football has sucked but come on man, give Brohm a chance.
