These incidents typically involve a perceived imminent threat to a nuclear-armed country which could lead to retaliatory strikes against the perceived aggressor.
They won't forget it so easy.A nuclear close call is an incident that might have led to at least one unintended nuclear detonation or explosion, but did not. after he murders the patriotic Ukrainians and then forces what's left to be part of some kind of half ass army it's like he's truly trying duplicate the weakness of the Soviet Union. He's starting to remind me of fucking Hitler at this point. I mean this guy is really showing his arse.
But the Putin is now saying that no Ukrainian males can leave the country (Ukraine) of military age. Maybe we cant have the Ukraine and that is a shame really. (He mentioned Sweden Finland) That would really ring Putin bell. one of our best most devastating responses to this crisis would be to make more NATO countries. Hmmm.Īnyway I think Scipio said it in another post. Also, incredibly, they had a chance to keep their nukes and they did not. Ukraine had a chance to join NAtO and did not. Up until now other than some minor troop movements this crisis has not really affected the the military per se. Moreover it definitely "warms" the system up. I think raising it up is a provocation insofar as Putin goes. Air Force, SAC was disestablished as both a Specified Command and as a MAJCOM, and its personnel and equipment redistributed among the Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), and Air Education and Training Command (AETC), while SAC's central headquarters complex at Offutt AFB, Nebraska was concurrently transferred to the newly created United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), which was established as a joint Unified Combatant Command to replace SAC's Specified Command role."ĭEFCON was really set up to run from a Cold War model so its pretty interesting to see just how effective it can be at this point. "In 1992, as part of an overall post-Cold War reorganization of the U.S. The command was mostly made of up Air Force personnel and the key thing is they were directly connected to the ICBM program. discontinued in 1992 (I think) and redistributed per se. Since that's really what the DEFCON program is all about, rapid strategic response.
the nuclear triad consists of the Air Force (ICBM), Airforce (Strategic bombers) and The Navy (Trident Submarines), All three of these groups are most response to the DEFCON system as such. What level they operated at is unknown to me. But there was also a Naval blockade that was not part of SAC but ordered via executive order of JFK. It also screams that he's running out of rope.įeb 25, 2022Besides, there are different readiness levels associated within their respective Defcons.Īside from SAC, during the Cuban missile crisis we were at Defcon 3. I think Defcon 3 screams to Putin we will talk tough but not act militarily and that is all he needs to know to smile. In the meantime I would think there is much to do to fortify and further maximize DEFCON 3. Each action we take will send a message to the Russians. The US has never been DEFCON 1 and the only other time we were at DEFCON 2 was the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the meantime this means the mechanism to fortify numerous positions is now in effect. Those "supposed" unrelated missile attacks would not be enough to go to DEFCON 3 though more like an excuse as we must assume they are ''unrelated'' toi Putin's operation. Our forces are not in imminent contact/danger at this point.
While the order is taken as immediate the reality is that there are numerous things that came be done to maximize this condition But DEFCONs are based on military threat not someone running their mouth. So to me that is a Def Con 2 right there. Putin already threatened us with historic consequences if we oppose him. Feb 24, 2022Only 3? I would have thought 2 was merited at least.
