Just testing. Let's see if I get copyright strike. YouTube says I am allowed. Not willing to invest much effort in production just to go nowhere.

Well. Probably so. American companies are multinational. They have offices in EU and sell into EU. EU isn't going to just sit there and smile while Donald Toad bashes the sh*t out of them. EU is a big economy when all combined. And it (via France) has some credible nukes. bsky.app/profile/nach...

According to Justin Wolfers today on Times Radio, 50% tariffs on EU set for June 1 is a de facto trade embargo. Goods from EU imported wholesale into USA would be so expensive, very few will be shipped. Because Donald Toad is insane and malevolent. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

In December 1960, Eisenhower approved the concept of a nuclear attack script for the president's Football satchel. Potus always has option to open a live broadcast circuit to TV, via Mount Weather. I recommend he not. He should order a very brief taped script instead. bsky.app/profile/doom...

A challenge I encounter with nuclear war materials for the public but not experts (YouTube and TV). They truly don't realize NORAD and the like are hardened to < 1500 PSI. Almost nothing withstands modern nukes anymore, including Mount Weather, EBS and EAS.

Nuclear war film The Day After isn't very accurate in terms of the missile attack sequence on Kansas. It should either be a presidential broadcast or FEMA recorded Take Cover while the sirens sound. There's no Crisis Relocation guidance in Taped Library.

I see content creators use clips of copyrighted material. I'd like to do this but I am not sure about copyright strikes and fair use here. Creators miss key technical points, such as <= 10-15 mins from sub launch to DC impact. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74nP...

This is delusional and reckless. There’s no way to design, test, construct, and deploy a comprehensive system to reliably stop any missiles launched from land, sea, or space, and do it in “two-and-a-half to three years” for $175 billion. But some of our adversaries may believe Trump—and respond.

the book hype will continue until sales improve

Thomas pointedly says nothing about nuclear attack warning present on Taped Library. It's audio cut number 1. He either isn't cleared to know or can't discuss. Taped nuclear attack warnings are verboten topics, not to be mentioned by officials. Off limits. bsky.app/profile/doom...

In terms of nuclear war civil defense and emergency broadcasts 1971 to 1981, there is no accurate history book whatsoever. What does exist in Google Scholar doesn't match up with newer info this thread. I call on universities and journalists to remedy this huge oversight. bsky.app/profile/doom...

This procedure wasn't automated. A NOAA human would have to confirm a NORAD ring down by hearing it live over NAWAS. An attack warning declaration. Human would have to read live script over radio. Zero tolerance for error. No human, no live read. bsky.app/profile/doom...

The security measures for Taped Library among most peculiar. The existence of a recorded attack warning announcement produced by US Govt is mentioned in no known document. Unknown if Reagan knew. It's an unmentionable concept, as you will see. Don Thomas says nil. bsky.app/profile/doom...

Today in 1974, India conducted its first nuclear test (informally referred to as “Smiling Buddha”) on the Pokhran Test Range in the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. The yield of the so-called peaceful nuclear explosive (a plutonium-fueled, implosion-type device) was 8-12 kilotons.

From this point forward, I am not really interested in any mistakes Biden may have made. Many, no doubt. Tr*mp is a demon in the flesh. Biden was a public servant. Donald needs to stfu. Axios and Jake can stop shilling the tell all books. Focus on Demon Potus. Let Joe in peace.

Biden’s team announces he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Biden diagnosed with cancer. It is serious. www.cbc.ca/news/world/j...

Trump can sign anything he wants, including price controls for the 10 percent tariffs he swears will be permanent. How to enforce? He's had plenty of time to study every precedent since 1789. Every trick there is. Nothing is totally off the table. youtu.be/RBQn9NT08a4?...

Many nuclear theme episodes featuring Roy Rowan as war broadcaster. One with Kevin McCarthy. Rowan announced the opens for Here's Lucy and The Lucy Show. A natural for Desilu Paramount and CBS. bsky.app/profile/radi...

Today in 1968, Lt. Gen. Berton E. Spivy outlined FREEDOM DROP, a nuclear contingency plan to attack North Korea with gravity bombs and/or short-range nuclear missiles during the crisis sparked by its seizure of the Navy-NSA spy ship USS Pueblo on January 23, 1968, a plan President Johnson rejected.

Economist Ken Rogoff mentions poss. Trump wage and price controls. Under Reagan, the means to do this w/o Congress would have been "Federal General Freeze Order" (Google this), the nearest known Presidential Emergency Action Document avail. cc @brennancenter.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZiZ...

The only record of this and many files in National Archives is a very old typed (typewriter, not computer) listing on paper that is never provided to the general public. No history professor ever obtained it, nor did any news org. bsky.app/profile/doom...
