Starting an Annie Jacobsen book, “Nuclear War: A Senario,” and adding a couple others to my “want to” read list
Posted By RichC on August 10, 2024
Not that I’m contemplating “doomsday” or ultra-paranoid, but the new book by Annie Jacobsen called “Nuclear War: A Scenario” is indeed frightening and does make me realize 
just how quickly the President of the United States must make nuclear decisions — 6 minutes.
Our military interactions over the past 100+ years have all been quick-strike or longer term slugfests using conventional weapons, but if the ICBM war would ever start, the nightmare would be unfathomable. If there was one thing that would prevent me from “even wanting” to be president, it would be the weight of making that kind of decision.
Check out this “long” interview with Lex Fridman on his YouTube channel… or get a copy of the 2024 book.
