What's stopping a pair of bored/accelerationist launch officers from stealing the codes and keys out of the cabinet and firing a missile off all by themselves?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YchEuqYjMi8
the armed guards
>>64283089Even if the entire crew of a nuclear silo or submarine went rogue for a year, they wouldn't be able to bypass the PAL to arm the warhead without an EAM. Only in the 40s-50s would localised action be possible before governments realised how insane that situation was.
To fire a nuke you need two people pulling the trigger. They are not allowed to know each other and there are two different crews near their silo but still kilometers away, that can cancel their launch order.
>>64283261Could you still fire the missile without arming the warhead (seems stupid I know, but if you wanted to start a nuclear war, the Russians and Chinese would still detect that unannounced launch and likely assume it was the opening salvo of a first strike and fire everything they have)?
>>64283313>They are not allowed to know each otherHow does the army prevent this? After a few years in, the military becomes like a small town
>>64283337>Could you still fire the missile without arming the warheadYes, and the real threat is a rogue crew provoking a nuclear response with those inert missiles
>>64283313The key turners cannot arm the warhead without an EAM
>>64283424*cocks gun* ANON, YOU WILL TURN YOUR KEY.
>>64283471*vaginas gun* it seems we're evenly matched
>>64283484*futas gun* your move, creep.
>>64283471>>64283484>>64283494TURN. YOUR. KEY
>>64283089according to the documentary Crimson Tide it ony takes two people, the catain and XO to authorize the launch of the submarine's missiles.
Psychological question. Does it ever go through their mind that, if shit did hit the fan and they did launch, they are basically responsible for the death of no less than 250-400 million humans?
>>64283089me
>>64284756Not my problem
>>64284789This guy right here
>>64284756ICBMs are essentially just very long range artillery and the artilleryman sees the worlds population in terms of two very distinct groupsArtillerymen and targets
>>64284756Psychological screening paired with constant drills mitigates the chance of a crisis of conscience.
>>64284665There is a difference between launching a missile and arming a warhead
>>64283089its illegal

>>64284821>muh right wingthe group you're talking about literally invented the terms "left" & "right"they're not right, nor are they even left - they're a monster that separates people into a fractured collection of movements impeding eachother every step of the wayin the very same way you ask how these idiots to "think", you should be thinking yourself
>>64284837oh we're good then
>>64284845I don't care about the semantics, and I don't feel too bad for putting all of them in one pot, because at the end of the day they will throw a pipe bomb at the office I'm working in, and when that happens I don't care if they do it because Q told them to, if it's to own the libs, or if it's because they think that vaccines are totally evil.They're all fantasizing about the downfall of western civilization, after which of course their retarded ideology emerges victoriously, which is why their diverse set of mental illness is working together right now.
>>64284862>They're all fantasizing about the downfall of western civilizationyes, they ALL areif you're truly going to be paranoid, you're going to need to accept that fact that everyone kills a traitor before an enemythink of how many things that you don't agree with among your kin, now realize that the moment everything goes to shit, they're going to remember every single one of those infractions, no matter how little of offense they areyou'll never be enough for "them", no matter who you are
>>64284862>Its the guy who hates autistsYou do really deserve that though
>>64284821>And make no mistake: According to those right wingers committing genocide against whites is acceptable, if it's in the name of preventing white genocide.If you read this book, it's as much a self-genocide as it is a genocide directed at Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.>90% of victims of the Day of the Rope are Whites executed for being "race traitors" who don't even receive the benefit of show trials to give the murders some minimal air of legitimacy, they're just executed on the spot with their guilt entirely determined by accusations>Organization intentionally provokes a nuclear exchange between NATO and the Warsaw Pact that is guaranteed to result in the mass death of mostly white people>Whites who survived the nuclear exchanges and show-up at Organization-controlled territory are put through some macabre parody of the section process you would have found at a concentration camp like Auschwitz where only children and young women are guaranteed entry and white men are literally forced to murder non-whites to gain admission, the elderly and those whites deemed soft are left to die of starvation>Southern Europeans (mainly Italians) are just straight-up exterminated for not being white enough
>>64284833>There is a difference between launching a missile and arming a warheadNot to the recpients radar - they will launch in response and the war is going.
>>64283261The code was literally 000000000 until the mid 2000s.
>>64285105chudsnot even once
>>64283344There should be no talking allowed. I'm tired of paying these guys to stand around and talk.
>>64285599>000000000It was then upgraded to the highly cryptographic 123456789
>>64283089You're seeing a dramatization of a missile launch, giving the impression that it's just a couple keystrokes away on a (faulty) computer. This is not the case at all; a machine like that needs the consent of many operators, commanders, and technicians in order for a successful launch to happen. You'd need to compromise a lot of people, which is something I'm sure there exist counterprocedures for.You could argue that even a legitimate order to launch would face such problems. I don't know how one would actually convince a crew to follow through on these orders, but fortunately it's not a situation we've had to face... yet.
>>64284862That’s what happens when Americans let the English language internet turn into a sounding board of hostile Russian rhetoric. Russia has launched an all out information confrontation with the west, under the ruse of “1A free speech”, where failed western males are targeted with myriad of narratives designed to incite them to violence. Until America actually starts listening to allies and taking common sense steps to contain threat narratives, this kind of thing will unfortunately persist.
>>64285649If the 6 million figure is to be believed, Hitler was responsible for the deaths of more Germans than Jews
>>64283089Launch officers need to be screened to actual do the job in the first place. So I don't think you're going to find the menial "I'm bored of stability" world view there.
>>64283089>What is a Permissive Action LinkNukes like the W-88 have the peanut shape for a reason. Even if you could detonate some of the explosive lenses, the shape is designed to facilitate a "toothpaste squeeze" effect where you basically create two sub-critical masses in the primary squeezing into two separate spheres instead of one big peanut. That being said, it definitely appears to be a possibility. Two of the Sigma clearance levels within the known DoE classification structure specifically address "knowledge to facilitate the unauthorized detonation of a nuclear weapon". The Sum of All Fears (book, not retarded movie) is pretty great because it addresses this specific scenario.
>>64284756Also those people chose not to dodge the shell, perhaps due to laziness.T.rural chad
>>64285838Trans ocean cables where a mistake
>>64286481Clancy just owned up that the book had some in depth knowledge but also withheld specific knowledge to slow down would-be copycats. Even if he also acknowledged it wouldn't do much good, and the only thing stopping 3rd-rate dictators and terrorists getting a bomb is how damn hard it is to enrich uranium to the necessary levels.
>>64284756Does not matter, as they will be the first of the 15-20 million that the other sides guys are responsible for.
>>64285105>>Southern Europeans (mainly Italians) are just straight-up exterminated for not being white enoughUh, based?
>>64284845Pretty sure the ones who invented "left" and "right" was the post-French revolution French parliament my guy>>64284862Why are there resistance libs posting from their gay suburbs in this board now
>>64285838false flag post
>>64285935Given how rampant cheating is during examinations and drills, it's safe to assume that system is completely airtight and some chuckleheads slip through the cracks.
>>64285599zeroes or papa sevens were only used in unclassified training checklists, EAM handling was out of scope of those exercises
