He will burn the world once the philes are released.
How stupid are these people in government?! Do they really think any of us are safe with Trump in office?
Trump lacks empathy and has been clinically diagnosed with dementia, so Trump would easily use nukes at any whim
This is terrifying, but I appreciate that there's at least a discussion, given who's ultimately in control of our nuclear arsenal.
Remove Trump Now!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If Trump sees that he is going down he may very well take the whole world with him. Scary!
The US has other assets that could have shot down an incoming ballistic missile besides the GBI (Ground Based Interceptors) featured in the movie. It really isn't realistic to think that the whole arsenal of GBIs is just 50 missiles. Redundancy is the mantra. There are backups of backups in the whole chain. The movie didn't even talk about the Patriot missile system or the THAAD ( Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system. The THAAD could have intercepted the incoming ballistic missile in its terminal phase. I understand it is a movie. It is not real life.
Secretary of War is not a thing.
Not in the least comforting to hear this dude refer to the 'Secretary of War' - - especially since the official name IS STILL the Department of Defense no matter what whisky Hegseth calls it!
He should have said dept of defense, not war
