it’ll be like a really bad, low-budget interpretation of the Terminator premise.
Shall .. we .. play .. a .. game?
Unless it has changed drastically, the physical system and non-electronic procedures would preclude this from actually happening. Then again, it’s a Navy admiral and BHO buttboy who is pushing this.
"Because of the threat of - ah - cyberterrorism... that we're all... so aware of, I have ordered the Air Force to stand down all nuclear delivery systems, effective - ah - effective immediately. We are doing this because - ah - we feel that it's... umm... that it's the right thing to do."
He got this idea while watching “War Games” on Netflix.
Seems like they would have a delivery system that is invulnerable to cyber attacks.

Importantly: “In June 2013, it was made known (by unspecified legal sources) that he had been placed under a U.S. Justice Department investigation, in its early stages, having to do with an alleged leak of classified information regarding the Stuxnet virus, designed to target and (at least temporarily) disable Iranian nuclear centrifuges, as part of Operation Olympic Games.”
He makes sense, but either way it doesn’t affect me, as long as it can be proven that it was accidental.
I already have insurance covering accidental Total Global Thermonuclear War.
Hey you, get out of there.
The big office boss behind a desk says, “I like everything just the way it is now. Don’t mess up my global investments. When the SHTF because of the policies pushed by the important constituents like me, that’s okay. I have a nice place on an island to go to.”
It’s the likes of him, who are making the big nuclear exchange much more likely in the very near future. They have our foreign enemies convinced that we’re too feminized to defense ourselves and that we’ll do anything to continue to the flow of debt/revenues to our plutocrats.
Our foreign enemies operate on the bully mentality. The more you shrink, the more they build up with the determination to destroy your country. Our business, political and academic domestic enemies control the politicians with their anti-defense putsch while indulging in their Walter Mitty fantasies about the end of the world.
Fire control systems are completely isolated from the Internet. Never trust the older half of my Baby Boomer generation who are in administrative positions.
