US Security meeting today?

[FrankenCub]

Someone asked me if I seen talk of today's security meeting, I haven't found anything yet. Supposedly those exiting the meeting were looking a bit white.

Anyone see anything?

 

[kev74]

Heard something about Russia putting nukes in space.

More likely they're planning the next distraction.

Between Brandon being deemed too stupid to prosecute, the testimony regarding his "pay to play" operation with Hunter coming to light, his disastrous poll numbers, that Obummer directed foreign spies to spy on Trump's campaign, etc...

Ole Joe is likely shitting himself worse than when he saw the Pope.

Might be this....

Russia’s Advances on Space-Based Nuclear Weapon Draw U.S. Concerns (Published 2024)

A congressman’s cryptic statement about new intelligence set Washington abuzz and infuriated White House officials.

Eta... unless they've made significant advances I wouldn't be too concerned about their space program.

If Russia 's hypersonics are anywhere near as capable as they're claiming, I think we're way behind the curve.

My ham radio is my friend if that is the case.

He's not wrong. This is so absurdly transparent I'm surprised anyone is taking it at face value.

To hell with these lying pricks.

A spare in a faraday box might be handy for space nukes.

Unfortunately there are enough people in power who have no shame and will willingly use even the most ridiculous excuse to forward their cause - no matter what the cost.

Apparently the rumor is last week Russia launched a rocket into space with an undisclosed weapon. It's speculated it's a first strike weapon.

- C'mon man, you know, the thing.

- Fear Porn - Doom - Herp Derp.

- Manipulating the news cycle.

- One Hundred Kabillion Dollars more to the Ukraine laundromat.

- US boots on the ground in Ukraine.

- Covid has been used up, so they're moving on to the next scam.

- It's going to be too dangerous to go to the polls and vote. So mail-in ballots will be the way.

- Or the 2024 Presidential elections will suspended to keep dEmOcRaCy safe.

- And so on, and on, and on...

- Gullibility is for suckers.

 

[Zerex]

The bastards are using this, to try and push thru the Senates rotten bill.............

If you think we do not have nukes in space, think again.

The people who run Area 51 and its alien technology have already developed a defense.....
Russia is not going to detonate an EMP device that might kill the International Space Station, and most all satellite communications.............no one is going analog.

This is Xi/DNC propaganda/

 

[Cooolone]

Security Risk Increase to the Nation... Gee what could it be?

Hundreds of militant extremists crossed the border unfettered, unfiltered and are now free ranging in the U.S.?

Hmmmmmm, hundreds out of 6 Million is easy to sneak in...

Actually one of the crazier theories I've heard is there is a Theory that part of our national defense strategy is to EMP ourselves, conus and Canada as Russian/Chinese ballistic missiles are en-route to kill their guidance systems and essentially turn them into unguided warheads that may not even return to their orbit going through the atmosphere to hit CONUS but might end up going over the ocean, out into space or going towards central America.

It's actually partly insane and genius to consider. I guess it depends how devastating an actual EMP attack would be if the cure is worse than the disease. If an EMP would be as bad as they say then launching 20 nuclear EMPS above north America as an invisible guidance disruption shield is worse than absorbing nuclear hits.

It's the reason some claim we have nuclear cruise missiles armed b52s on patrol over CONUS so they can act as mobile anti missile, missile launching platforms. Not all the different from the Nike missile plan from the 50s and 60s. That's pretty crazy if you look that up. Using nuclear warheads SAMs to attack Russian bombers. We planned to airburst nuke ourselves and Canada to stope their bombers

Who knows. Something to consider.

In the mid 1980's a rocked fired from a USA F15 shot down one of our own old/junk satellites that was orbiting the earth. Again, mid 1980's.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure our planes and armaments may have advanced just a little bit over the past 40ish years??

If this Russian space nuke is a threat, or if the snews story is even true, I'm pretty sure we can handle it. Then again, maybe not considering who's in charge at present

Something to consider, we've been shooting down drones and derelict planes with ground based lasers for years. Biggest problem being the atmosphere making it hard. I'm will to bet the farm that we've already got space based lasers on satellites. Remember some years back China was having some satellites mysteriously stop working....? They were claiming we caused it.
No atmosphere in space to disturb the laser. Much more effective.

Yeah well keep that info to yourself. Ukraine needs your tax $$ asap. And Joe wants his 10% too.

Back to 1850 or back to 1850 with the metropolitan areas irradiated. Either way its 90% reduction in population.

And yet, we couldn't hit one lone spy balloon casually drifting across the continent.

Oh yeah, because the person whose finger is on the trigger was asleep and crapping himself.

No, he was awake, just following the orders he was paid to follow.

Unfortunately there are enough people in power who have no shame and will willingly use even the most ridiculous excuse to forward their cause - no matter what the cost.

And enough morons in the population that they will likely get away with it.

Everyone knows how to harden equipment against EMP.

We even built a test stand large enough to EMP a B52 to make sure it all worked properly.

You can be sure that ICBMs are going to be the most EMP hardened equipment on the planet.

There *were* ABM systems that were designed to *nuke* incoming nukes.

As it turns out, the neutron Flux from a nearby explosion will destabilize the core of a nuclear weapon for several minutes and it won't be able to detonate fully.

One of the hardest parts of planning to fight a nuclear war is to deconflict all your own strikes so they don't interfere with each other.

We do *not* launch everything all at once as soon as the order is given. It's all a carefully choreographed ballet to control what time everything arrives on target so they don't interfere with each other.

The sprint ABM system (among others) used small nuclear warheads to shoot down incoming ICBMs. Even if they didn't detonate close enough to destroy the incoming missile, they would irradiated the core enough that it couldn't detonate for a few minutes. An ICBM can't pause to wait for the core to stabilize LOL, it's going in like a lawn dart whether the core is ready or not.

But, any EMP we can generate is not going to interfere with any of the systems necessary to fight a nuclear war. It will fuck the civilian infrastructure, but the military will be fine.
