you know, nuclear small warhead were to detonate 300 miles directly over the United States of America, it would be what is called electric Armageddon.
It would take out the entire power grid.
That is not a fantasy.
That is a fact.
And so the president wrote an EO to address exactly that kind of a threat.
And I think that is very interesting.
Yes, they were.
Yes, because the Space Force is in charge of looking at all of or conducting all ISR intelligence surveillance.
And then that leads to reconnaissance from space, from satellites, because the remarkable abilities from what a camera can see from hundreds of miles up down on the ground is astonishing.
That's why that is classified.
That's why I always put my money on NRO as the most important intelligence agency that no one ever talks about.
Thank you for having me.
I describe the first bomb in the scenario that strikes the Pentagon.
It's a one-megaton thermonuclear bomb in painstaking, horrific detail, all sourced from Defense Department documents, defense scientists who have worked for decades to describe precisely what happens to things and to humans.
And it's horrifying.
But on top of the initial flash of thermonuclear light, which is 180 million degrees, which catches everything on fire,
in a nine-mile diameter radius, on top of the bulldozing effect of the wind and all the buildings coming down and more fires igniting more fires, on top of the radiation poisoning people to death in minutes and hours and days and weeks if they happen to have survived, on top of all of that, each one of these fires creates a megafire that is a hundred or more square miles.
And so essentially, in essence, what do you see?
Well, in the scenario at minute 72, a thousand Russian nuclear weapons land on the United States.
And so it just becomes a conflagration of fire.
