So the President is asking what preparedness is the military and this is news!!!
More Fake Russia/Russia news!
Wow, now that is a sure sign that Trump is in collusion with Putin. A puppet no less. /s
But, but, but...
don’t some Demonrats still say that PDJT is Putun’s stooge? This CANNOT be true! It must be FAKE NEWS!
</sarc>
Lol. Totally Ghey Fake News.
Runs around with Hair on Fire, and falls down.
Clearly this is election interfering from the Brits.
Launch an investigation...
Russian Collusion!
Could be a plant story by the Trump administration. Trump isn’t fooled by Putin/Russian scum.
From my experience in SAC back during the Cold War circa 1975 we had numerous Operational Readiness Inspections testing out just such a scenario.
From the Time the Alert Klaxons sound and the entire base is on alert it will take at least 8 hours to break the weapons out of the igloos and load them on the individual bombers.But that was when we Had SAC a Unit that specialized in nuclear warfare preparations and attack.
This Global Strike command” Replacement of SAC” is not of the same quality and there personnel are not trained to meet the exceptionalism of SAC’s personnel.
I recently saw a video on youtube regarding a recent Alert and launch of the B-52 wing out of the 2nd Bomg Wing at Barksdale AFB,Louisianna.
That was the slowest alert and Launch of a wing that I have ever had the displeasure to see.
If that base was ever under an actual nuclear attack the entire wing of bombers would have been destroyed on the ground.
President Trump needs to return the use of Nuclear weapons to a specialized wing that has that job as there only Job. President Trump Reactivate SAC and deactivate the Global Strike Command.
Fake Breaking News
Story doesnt pass the sniff test.
“ and load them onto bombers and submarines”
That would be RE-loaded...
I don’t think that we have any nuclear artillery rounds for our 155mm and 8 inch guns left. The great old 8 inch gun was deleted from the Army inventory shortly after the end of the Cold War and with the MLRS being its replacement. And the 155mm and 8 inch nuke rounds were ordered destroyed by President G. H. W. Bush. I remember reading news reports about those rounds we had in Germany being brought back to the States for dismantling/destruction.
To be honest, I believe there is a greater threat from China than Russia
IIRC the START treaty allows each side to keep additional warheads in long term storage, dismounted from delivery systems. This request from President Trump sounds like he is asking how long it will take to move these warheads out to operational units and have them ready for use.
What a garbage piece of news, even for the MSM. But I suppose the average 20-something writing for the newspaper is not likely to know much about, well, much of anything. The nukes are already on the submarines. They always are. For that matter, land-based nukes in the US could deliver their payload faster than a Domino’s pizza.
Who leaked this and why is it a story?
Trump should have received this intel before he was sworn in and got his Q-clearance from DOE/NNSA and the subsequent nuclear briefings every week (i.e, 3 minutemans are down for maint, we are 90% ready, SSBN about to sail, Russia is moving some mobile IRBMs in scheduled maneuvers, Delta IV SSBN has warmed up, etc).
It would be a dereliction of duty if he did not ask such an pertinent question. If Biden is in charge it would never even cross his feeble mind.
