I'm just trying to imagine Do you think the secret service jogwalks over to Biden and says And Biden says Like what do you think this process looks like, he freezes up and centcom looks around the console "oh well, there goes 10 metros, and he called Bill 'Greg', put it in the paper that he called Bill 'Greg'"? How involved do you think Joe Biden is with nuclear strategery? I think it's less than the guy floating a radioactive cyclone Sir it's 75 three megaton Russian yields about 8 degrees off the north pole right now, what do we do, sir Oh. Oh. I, I forgot my nuke playbook here on the campaign trail, oh no! I guess that's it then
You should avail yourself of some Cold War history. We came close to nuclear war in the 60s, as most people know, but also in the 80s. But for the calm thinking of leaders in the US and USSR, things could have differently. The fact that you prefer to be flip about the president’s primary job, CIC, is troubling to me.
