The President's Nuclar Football
« on: March 01, 2026, 10:17:18 PM »
We all know what it is.  We all know what it is for.


Has anybody been watching on Hulu the tv show Paradise?


SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

Don't read past this point if you plan on watching from the beginning.  It's a good show, very smart so far.




The football has two modes.  Red or Blue.

Red for nukes.  Blue for EMP.

A string of satellites in orbit are capable of blanketing the entire Earth's surface with an EMP blast.  Thus, making the world back to the 1870s.  Similiar to the tv show Revolution.

The question is this.  A pure Hollywood concept for good sci-fi drama or maybe some secret truth to the idea?  Is it possible for a doomsday scenario like that?

Not so sci fi.

It's happened before.  Luckily we weren't computer based back then.

Hegseth gave a driveling speech of testosterone over-load (a tell of weakness) could not give a strategy or end game, at all. He spent more time insulting than any information. They have NOTHING. Absolutely beyond clueless. And this is who is leading this absolute mess. They have no plan. Period, zip, zero, none. This is way beyond complete incompetence.

This is a guy who joined national guard to take credit for being military while not actually in a war. It was meant to avoid war. We he got sent to war he broke down bawling his eyes out. Now wants to take credit for being in a war as if he was a marine on front lines. He’s a fraud running this soon to be epic mess. Pumped chest = scared as hell. I can’t imagine how much can go wrong. <eye roll>

Kuwait just shot down 3 US jets by mistake. Evidently ultra poor communications.

BTW, after 4 weeks precision bombs stock pile is running very low. The US will have to draw from other stock piles meant for other enemies making us more vulnerable.you can probably thanks Musk and Doge.

We are already approaching the $1 billion mark just on this small deal, we’re only 2 days in.

Imagine having this little faith in your own military that they would say we have no plan and that our stock piles are low.  :rofl its almost like the people's hes listening to are the same folks using iran for dark banking. Amazing theyd call anyone looking "weak" after what the last administration looked like... I simply dont understand why these people want america to fail.

This has nothing to do with my OP. 


Later in the season, we see survivors using vehicles and transmitting on radio.  That tells me that the EMP is a short time weapon.  The next question is can it be used multiple times?

That would be a weapon.

Id be curious to hear what they would do to limit nuclear capabilities of radicals.

That would be a weapon.

Another Carrington Event would be worse.

It wouldn't just knock out the power.  It would fry every electrical circuit.
Including your car's electrical system.  Including your CBs and walkie-talkies.
ATMs.
Hospital equipment.
Not just offline but fried.  Everything with a circuit would need to be replaced.
How long would that take?
But the factories are toast too.
So first you would have to rebuild the factories.
And security system.  THey have power outage backups but it all the circuits are fried the systems are toast and need to be replaced.
Banks?
Nuclear power plants?
All unsecured.

Yes, twiggy, they are obligated to inform the people, absolutely. Maybe you should pull the head roots out of your butt, …not actual specifics, but intensions and end game. If you can’t muster up two brain cells to understand this you should not talk about it, You are beyond willful ignorance.

Gonna keep talking to me like that and I’ll continue to push crush glass up your mouthy butt. I am not going to take your punk mouth. And don’t go crybaby playing the victim.

Incase the AI gets loose.

Hey there is the doorknob.

If you missed it, their end game is to destroy all current missile inventory, means to manufacture them, and further destroy nuclear sites, as well as their navy and ship manufacturing sites.  You know, the things that protect a terrorist ran country dead set on nuclear weapons.

That is the end game.

Whatever happens after that sounds like it's up to Iran, with little or no intervention from us.

Should this become a problem again under the current regime [which it will] or a new leadership group.. they can expect another visit.

Unless someone on your side of Narnia gets elected, then you can expect a visit from them..

Need to write that out in crayon for you?

Maybe someone a little more artistic than me could draw up a picture book for you.

I suppose their assassination attempt on a former president running for a new term was just a coincidence.

Its 2026, these people are going to get nuclear capable in a very short amount of time, and all they want to do is kill us, hence their garbage economy.  All the money goes to terror.

Would be pretty convenient for China or Russia to speed things up for them, and just deliver the weapon to the crazy SOBS.  Let some nutjobs do what they are too scared to try.

The AI is already out of the bottle.  We need to bring back vacuum tubes and telegraph lines.

8-track tapes to the rescue.  1870s meets 1970s.  :D
