But on the flip side of that, you have the horror that the reason that Sibbers even exists is because an ICBM, that is for listeners, an intercontinental ballistic missile that can travel from one side of the earth to the other in approximately 30 minutes, 33 minutes precisely from a launch pad in Pyongyang. It cannot be redirected and it cannot be recalled.

Almost no one knows that Russia's technical system, which they allege is as good as Sibber's, is nowhere near the capacity. Their system that is in space can mistake clouds for a rocket launch. It's profoundly dangerous.

And then, of course, the ultimate danger, which was a fact so astonishing I had to actually confirm it with Leon Panetta because I simply couldn't believe this is true, that an ICBM, a U.S. ICBM launched from the Middle West to hit Pyongyang, which is what would happen if a bolt out of blue attack happened against the United States, a single weapon. if it was launched by North Korea.

If we were to launch ICBMs from the Middle West at North Korea, they do not have enough range to reach Pyongyang without traveling over Russia. In the crisis moment, in situations that you are talking about are happening in seconds and minutes, not hours and days.

The reality that the Russian president could think, would almost certainly think those nuclear weapons were coming for him, is almost undebatable. And that is where you could have that full-scale nuclear exchange that former STRATCOM commander General Keillor warned me to warn you about.
