>Mr President you have to start a nuclear war even though we have no idea who to blame and Chicago being destroyed won't have any impact on our ability to respond.
The idea is if they cannot originate the origin then it's like 99% a ballistic submarine ICBM, and the only countries that have this capability that hate us is China/Russia/possibly NK in this scenario (IRL lol no way). If you let them destroy an American city with zero consequences what is stopping them from taking out your military sites/comms with limited strikes? it would be like the Gulf War except we would be on the receiving end.The lowest level of reaction would be to nuke an equivalent Chinese/Russian city obviously in the same fashion.
>>215623916The correct thing to do is wait for Chicago to actually get nuked. Then, after a short celebration, you retaliate in kind.
>>215623916If it's a one off you can take all the time you want analysing radioactivity left behind to 100% determine who it was and every country not involved will happily assist so as to avoid retaliation. If it's the start of something bigger the second you detect their launch you can follow it up with 100% certainty you're doing the right thing.The film relies of multiple independent lauch detection systems failing unnoticed and no other country sharing their data even though it is 100% in their interest to avoid starting a nuclear war.
just nuke Israel
>>215623853>Gentlemen, you cannot fight in here. This is the war room.
the three act structure is such a bad idea
TIL the football having a handcuff is a hollywood myth
>>215623853This movie was an inverse Miracle Mile.Starts off as a 8/10 and throughout just keeps falling until it ends on a 1/10
The US is depicted as a second-world decaying nation and bureaucratic protocols are completely kafkaesque. All these top decision-making groups have 30 minutes to communicate on top hotlines and connections keep breaking, they cannot merge phone calls and all the protocols they have to follow just waste time, meanwhile all they can do is watch behind screens that only contain outdated information. It's like boomers trying to use Zoom during covid except it costs billions of dollars to maintain and millions of lives at stake.What's the closest film like this? The Anno Godzilla movie? HBO Chernobyl?
>>215623853>the femtard director admitted the missile defense system would work and negate the entire plot>but that would be detrimental to her "message" that every country should disarm all nukes >pretends missile defense systems are all useless instead to force the storyWhat a dumb bitch
>>215626482it would fail if her dumb obama stand in was potusbut thankfully in the real world we have forward thinking trump building the iron dome with the best israeli minds
Zero Day any good?
>>215626482when did she say this?
>>215626615No, it's horrible. It's basically a hardcore Biden lib trying to justify that a president can be senile but actually he isn't and there's some tech conspiracy to oust him. I imagine we'll see a Trump equivalent after he leaves office.
>>215623964But what if you celebrate too long and they nuke NYC as well?
>>215626482>thinks the consequence of releasing this movie will be discourse about "we must denuclearize">actual discourse is "we must spend more billions for better defense"gg bigelow
>>215623964The correct course of action would be to deflect the missile to LA
>>215623853Katherine Bigelow is a hack!
>>215623853chicago is one of the most vital arteries in the country for transporting goods to the west. it's why organized crime always had a big presence there
>>215626813See also>why are we spending billions on Israel's missile defense system when our own is seemingly barely functional
>>215623853this movie looks like shit but it reminded me about pic related and im going to watch that love me some analyst nerd kino thrown into the wolfsden
>>215626842True back then. Is it still true today? How relevant is Chicago as a world city today? I think it's just coasting off of inertia.However, of the American cities I've been to it by far had the hottest women per capita of any of them. I think the density helps, and the fact that it pulls attractive women from all over the midwest. I haven't visited any east coast cities so perhaps NYC or Miami mog it.
>>215626842Chicago being nuked would cause massive damage to the economy lasting decades. It wouldn't affect the ability of submarines and Bombers from doing their job. The film could have DC be the target and the President unable to escape the blast zone in time. That would give some credence to him being pressured to do something now instead of waiting litterly 5 minutes to see if there's actually a nuke and work out where it came from and why.
>>215623853They should nuke India just in case.
>tel aviv, tehran, pyongyang, beijing, moscow are all active>all our enemies already know we missedhuh?
>>215627517The entire population of Chicago is 2.7 mil. So i have no idea how they calculated a 9 million death toll.9/11 caused 600,000 people to lose their jobs and $50 billion dollars in damage.
>>215626260>What's the closest film like this?that ice cube war of the worlds movie is an unintentional comedy on working a white collar job with boomers using MS teams
>>215627645>population of Chicago is 2.7 milYeah I know, I haven't seen the movie. Maybe they meant the Greater Chicago Metro Area? No idea if that's still enough for 9 mil. I'm sure the economic impact of Chicago's destruction would be incalculable. I was talking about Chicago's economic and cultural relevance in America today as compared to the past. Does east->west shipping still flow through there even?
