Planning for ridiculous situations is normal shit. As Eisenhower once said, “Plans are useless, but planning is invaluable.”
The CDC has a plan for a zombie outbreak.
They’re not really thinking we’re gonna live through the walking dead, but it’s good to practice planning for things and analyzing how those plans are developed and if there are any holes.
I’d rather have plans and not need them than having the situation arise and be unprepared.
I wonder if this was leaked to make sure the other countries know. Seems like this should be a document that never gets out.
I’ve seen Dr. Strangelove, I know what happens when you don’t release your nuclear plans.
They were going to announce it next week at the Party Congress Convention!
Can you take a wild guess which 3 countries in the world Tonald Drump constantly praises every chance he gets?
One of those countries, as of March, was already in a losing war and the leader has already made vague threats to a nuclear option. Another country has been trying to get into a dick-measuring contest with world powers by using shows-of-force with long range missiles that happens to share a border with a country they’ve been kiiinda at war with for decades. Both aggressor countries are kiiinda aligned, or at least in league, with China, while the opposite countries are allied/aligned with the US.
This sounds like the kinda thing any rational leader would do.
Also, TIL Russia actually shares a border with N Korea.
Sounds like Putin sabre-rattled enough that Biden said ‘Wow, the Ukrainians are really kicking their asses. Putin might actually lose this. Maybe we prepare this time, just in case’.
