We'll Have Just 72 Minutes Journalist Anne Jacobsen Releases The Book Nuclear War

Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

What to Expect if Nuclear War Breaks Out? WORLDWIDE NUKES: There are 9 nuclear-armed nations (US, Russia, China, France, the UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea)…and if you’re living in an American city today, big or small, there’s a nuclear weapon pointed directly at you right now. Conversely, the US has 1,770 nukes pointing at cities across the world.NO CHECKS AND BALANCES: The U.S. president has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons - no Congress or military advisor approval needed! If a military satellite indicates America is under nuclear attack, and a 2nd early-warning radar confirms that information, then the president of the United States launches nuclear missiles in response—before any nuclear bomb strikes U.S. soil. Said differently, the U.S. doesn’t wait to absorb the nuclear blow.NO RECALL: Once a missle is launched, it cannot be aborted. Ever. The clock is ticking.SNEAK ATTACK - Called “Bolt out of the Blue” - it’s a deadly first strike. The US fears this could happen in an attack on the Pentagon.6 MINUTES: In a six-minute window, the president must decide how many nuclear weapons to use and which targets to strike—while also being briefed on estimates of how many millions of people, would be instantly incinerated, with an almost equal number dying days, weeks, and months later from radiation poisoning. Nuclear war is the only scenario—other than an asteroid strike—that could end civilization in a matter of hours. The soot from burning cities and forests would blot out the sun and cause a nuclear winter. State-of-the-art climate modeling predicts five billion humans would die. In the words of Nikita Khrushchev, “The survivors will envy the dead.”In NUCLEAR WAR, Anne Jacobsen examines the ticking-clock scenario of what would unfold in the seconds, minutes, and hours following the launch of a nuclear attack against the United States, and in so doing, exposes what the government and military do not want to the public to understand about the current state of nuclear weapons.
