The incident Dave is referring to was in 1983 when the Soviet detection system warned that the US had launched a missle. Petrov trusted his gut and saved the world. From WW3 at the least.
There also another incident that happened on a Russian submarine, the sub had lost contact with the USSR and protocol was something like the top 3 ranking officers have to vote wether to launch or not launch nukes and 2/3 voted to launch them and the one that didn’t wasn’t even supposed to be on that submarine but some series of events put him there as being the next highest ranking officer on board
The incident in 1983 you are referring to was during a large CP exercise that was tightly scripted and conducted over encrypted radios across Western Europe. At that time the Soviet Union had built a dead hand device to trigger automatic launches on detection of a western launch. The engineers and the Soviet government decided keeping a man in the loop was a good idea. There was a lot of turmoil and fear on the Soviet side with increased military exercises in the Pacific, normal exercises that were larger than ever, the invasion of Grenada (and the subsequent encrypted phone calls between Washington and London that were not to pleasant over it), the Beruit bombing, and the accidental shoot down of a civilian airliner over Soviet territory that was believed to be a spy plane all contributed to events that were to unfold. Basically a high altitude cloud reflected the sunlight into the sensors of a spy satellite triggering the dead hand device. Lt Col Petrov was on watch and did not believe the system, and didn’t believe the Americans wanted to launch the end of world because he didn’t either. After several minutes, and multiple launch warnings, it was determined to not be real. For standing his ground and basically saving the world, the world’s hero was kicked out of the Soviet military. The book Dead Hand covers this event in the first terrifying chapter, and looking up anything on CZcams about the Exercise Able Archer will take you to some lengthy documentaries about this incident.
@@KNETTWERX we’re talking about 2 different instances but yeah both happened
all of you are correct there was also yet ANOTHER incident when boris yeltsin was russian prez Norway launched a single nonmilitary rocket having to do with weather research they notified the russian gov ahead of time but the higher-ups hadn't gotten the word russian military thought it was an EMP attack designed to take out their electronics and asked yeltsin permission to to launch THEIR own nukes which he refused guess he wasn't drunk at time⚛
@@StayProteus
Nov. 2024 is election day, Jan. 20th, 2025, is when the elected President takes office.
If Biden wins hopefully he can get some cocaine or something because we need him awake..... lol he's got 15 minutes I almost cried
its crazy how effective we are at destroying each other
Well that’s all of the history we know
15:49 it’s hilarious that his first thought was “ imagine how much things would cost if we nuked China. We’d have to make our own things” 😂😂😂
"Life without TJ Maxx." Lol
Good thing, companies are currently moving away from manufacturing in China. Apple already has moved most of its iPhone production to Indonesia.
First we'd have to teach the cockroaches to use iPhones because they'll be about the most sophisticated species left if the US, Russia and China all unload their entire arsenals.
@MichaelW969 I didn't even know England had T.J. Maxx but then again it might be an English company.
@@ActionMan-Grant they're called TK Maxx in the UK to avoid confusion with a retail chain named TJ Hughes lol
I love the couple seconds of silence at the beginning to give us time to think about what we’re doing with our lives while watching three blokes react to CZcams videos😔
🤣
for real
Lool, fax 😭
😂 it’s the urge to share content with people lol. Most people have that, they see a show hear or song they really like, or learn some crazy fact about nukes, and they want to share with people. That’s what these channels play off of. (Not that you don’t know that, I’m sure you do, but it’s not all that wierd when you break it down)
Axtually nvm. I just realized that these reaction channels are to sharing things you enjoy with friends what porn is to sex.
Context: "Nearly 70% of Americans worry we're at the start of WWIII" .. APA did that survey right after Russia invaded Ukraine, so people were freaking out a bit.
Right, I don't know anyone who cares.. we just want the president to stop sending money
It took a decade before WWII was in full force.
Yes, Dave is correct, one man refused to push the button. The reason he questioned the equipment is because it looked like a few missiles had been launched, but he figured if America was going to attack, that they would've launched everything, not just a few.
There are actually two instances where Soviet soldiers saved the world:
1. Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станисла́в Евгра́фович Петро́в) was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who prevented a nuclear war in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident. On 26 September 1983, three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm.
2. Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov (Russian: Василий Александрович Архипов) was a Soviet Naval officer who is known for preventing a Soviet nuclear torpedo launch during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Such an attack likely would have caused a major global thermonuclear response, destroying large parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
The Captain and political officer had thought that nuclear war had began after they lost contact with Moscow and the US navy was dropping depth charges on the sub, thus the captain and political officer decided to use their nuclear torpedoes against the US navy, but Vasily as the flotilla commodore as well as executive officer of the diesel powered submarine B-59, Arkhipov refused to authorize the use of them as all three men needed to agree to use the torpedoes.
Its sad that no one talks about these two men, if they were American or British soldiers I am sure that we would have had a movie, miniseries or documentary about them.
I love the fact that in 2023 that this information is just something someone can openly make a power point on if any of it is accurate
I like how they keep the thumbnail template is the same for every video. Even with nuclear war they're like laughing lol 😂
There are so many nuclear war movies from last decades of the 20th Century. You guys should watch a couple: "Fail-Safe", "On The Beach", "War Games", "The Day After, "Testament", "Threads", "By Dawn's Early Light" and, of course, the classic tragicomedy, "Dr. Strangelove."
Even Red Dawn implied nukes were used in the 1st days of that war. (major cities gone and population of China reduced to 100M people).
15:53 I like how Daz and Mike look at Dave like he's crazy because that's the 1st thing he thought of, not the catastrophic death/damage that would occur but how expensive his products would get.....
Edit: Also iPhones are not being made in China anymore lol
IPhones are absolutely being made in China.
Apply has started moving out, but itll take a decade. 90% of the entire IPhone supply chain is still in China
not only that, for those who survived or live outside of major metropolitan areas will spend the remainder of your short lives fighting over food and water and dodging nuclear ash rain for about 80 years, but most likely dying of thirst, starvation, violence, exposure, suicide, or several forms of concurrent and untreated cancers within 2 or less.
Reporter: Liverpool has been completely destroyed... tens of damage has been done. 😂
I'm with Dave, I don't see it ever happening. It's a hot take, but I think the lives potentially saved by the mere existence of nuclear weapons, both from deterring potential conflict and from the cancer treatment research we gained from the WW2 attacks will always vastly outnumber the related deaths from them. Effectively, nuclear weapons are the most defensive and peace-enforcing weapon ever made, not offensive.
There are a lot of people involved in launching a nuclear first strike. Someone is bound to have his survival/rational tendencies kick in.
Vasili Arkhipov should be a household name.
David is worried about T-Shirts if China gets naked LMAO
just watched oppenheimer and its hard to see how progress is gonna be made when we got all these ''end it all'' buttons in so many peoples hands, people with such different views of the world, Let's just enjoy the ride as Anthony Bourdain said
Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov eventually persuaded Savitsky to surface and await orders from Moscow. His persuasion effectively averted a nuclear war which likely would have ensued if the nuclear weapon had been fired.
October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a group of 11 United States Navy destroyers and the aircraft carrier USS Randolph located the diesel-powered, nuclear-armed Foxtrot-class submarine B-59 near Cuba. (The B-59 was one of four Foxtrot submarines sent by the USSR to the area around Cuba.) Despite being in international waters, the United States Navy started dropping signaling depth charges, which were intended to force the submarine to come to the surface for identification.
By then, there had been no contact from Moscow for a number of days. Those on board did not know whether war had broken out or not. The captain of the submarine, Valentin Grigoryevich Savitsky, decided that a war might already have started and wanted to launch a nuclear torpedo. Authorization of all three officers on board the B-59 were needed instead; this was due to Arkhipov's position as Commodore of the flotilla. The three men were captain Savitsky, political officer Ivan Semyonovich Maslennikov, and executive officer Arkhipov. An argument broke out between the three of them, with only Arkhipov against the launch. Arkhipov eventually persuaded Savitsky to surface and await orders from Moscow. His persuasion effectively averted a nuclear war which likely would have ensued if the nuclear weapon had been fired.
I always love hearing the names of the missiles and missile systems and heavy weaponry. The coolest names.
The purpose of an all-out nuclear war is not exactly “winning” it’s about making sure the enemy loses “harder” than you do so that whomever rises from the ashes has an advantage of being the world’s only surviving superpower.
Each minutemen silo in a squadron is located 3.5 miles or 5.6 Kilometres away from the next, combined with their hardened nature each one would have to be directly targeted.
The outcome of a nuclear attacks is everyone is toast in the end.
The election is November 2024 and the inauguration is January 2025. The primary elections, state by state, start next January 2024 so we will have an autumn of debates this year.
15:50 That is scary and really puts a new perspective on the consequences of nuclear war. No TJ Maxx and a huge backlog on iPhone orders? Makes life barely livable. The horrors of nuclear war get worse and worse.
Hopefully SK is safe, I use android
It's not what you think. The fire will rain down like actual rain. But it is not water, it is fire. It doesn't just end like a blast would end. It is a real rain of fire. You can't escape it It's not a blast It's rain And it's everywhere It's fire. The sky will be on fire.
The skies would be blocked out for up to 2 years and wipe out crops- so whatever survived the cross-attack would die of starvation and radiation poisoning
Our land based ICBMs are based in mountainous areas of Montana, Colorado, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Let's all pray we never have to use them
We would launch all of them at once, it’s called mutually assured destruction.
There's no half-measures when it comes to nuclear war. If the button is pushed, all readied warheads would be launched
The land based missiles are where they are to make them further from high population areas.
manufacturing is moving from Chine to India and Vietnam
Like the DOCTOR said "Because it's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning -- sit down and talk!"
Slight correction. Montana is west of North Dakota.
Didn’t expect some light hearted existential dread today but alright lol let’s do it
You are driving today 😂😂😂good one
We need part two in our lives
Lol worried about iphone's during a nuclear apocalypse? 😂
Nobody wins here
billions of people would be dead if everything was shot if not everyone and the fallout would last for a very very long time and the effects on the earth after the fallout settles it would just be over
I don’t trust anyone’s opinion on nuclear war if they pronounce it as nukeular. I’d be amazed if they can tie their shoes
6:40 the reason they’re out there is yes there’s very few people out there. Also far inland so sub based missiles would have to travel further, any sabotage would be trickier to carry out, and bombers would be hard pressed to get there. Their hope is the missile silos act as a nuclear sponge and take 99% of the hits allowing most major cities to escape with little to no damage
"I believe we did."
Good show gents. I hope we are not stupid enough as a species to do something like this either, but I don’t know. Have you listened to Donald Trump talk? Also, he was obsessed with bunkers, touring nuclear bunkers, asking how many people that would hold. That was very unnerving for me.
Go ahead, push the damn button. Do it!
You said we aren't quite to the point of nuclear war. I would ask you to look up the doomsday clock. Right now we're sitting at 90 seconds to midnight. So we're as close to it as we were during the cold war.
12:50 That would have been an important US military installation near Thurso (Caithness) at the time. It was decommissioned in the '90s.
The election is November of 2024 and the inauguration is early 2025
70 million dead in WW2 says you're giving our species too much credit.
Yeah …. We’re all dead if this happens.
Who dead??
@skyjacksonA1 theirs no winners if war goes nuclear , mutual assured destruction. 😢 yes ,were all f*cked
there are parts 2 and 3 after this one and also one long combined version that has all 3 parts.
The election happens on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November on the fourth year of the presidential term, so November 2024 will be the next election and the next president will be inaugurated into office in early 2025.
election is November 5, 2024 and inauguration is January 2025 usually January 20th. if it's an outgoing president he leaves in the morning of inauguration day so the incoming president can move in, the outgoing president can attend the incoming president's inauguration but donald trump didn't attend joe biden's inauguration on January 20, 2021
19:08 Dave you might be thinking of the Norwegian rocket incident of 1995, when a norwegian scientific rocket launch triggered the russians where they thought it was an attack on them and they nearly launched nukes
I honestly hope WW3 never happens
Our Military will not expose the locations of all Silo's/Bases etc
Very painfully. Hopefully it won't be necessary and smarter people will realize it. So far they have served its purpose and kept superpowers in check. So far
Nuc-u-lar? Jeez, the word is nuclear.
Done with China
November 2024 is the next election. Inauguration is January 2025.
I'm ready for it I got my SPF1,000,000
November 2024 is the election. Inauguration would be January 2025
There are US bases in Africa. So they're on the modern day hit list.
This video gives people hope like someone would still win. You guys need to see something darker and real. If a country is destroyed like they said it's nuclear winter.
This is not the end Some people wish it would be but it's not.
Well, one who is running for president wont do a thing against his friends n the other wont put up with malarkey
It is head to the arctic or Australia to be honest, you might stand a chance.
its november next year guys
Do you think Trump had any idea what our military was doing? He didn't even read the daily briefings.
we'll all starve because society is too specialized and no country is self-sufficient, nor will there be any arable land remaining in the northern hemisphere.
Yes, because all of this would be well known publicly available information 🙄
Your thinking of Lt.Colonel Stanislavsky Petrov
its trust one russian general did not want to shoot, so that saved the world
Nov 2024 is the next election and Jan 20, 2025 is the inauguration. It will be Biden vs Trump rematch
Trump will loose again
Couldn't they find someone who knew how to pronounce the word nuclear correctly ? (The same way it's spelled : nu-cle-ar, not nu-cu-ler)
Dave outs himself as one of 'those'.
Which one is Dave?
he's a self-admitted Roganite. No surprise he's deep in that American reactionary echo chamber.
How did this end?!
The president gets inaugurated in 2025 so it's next November, November of 2024
No one survives an all out nuclear war. No need to speculate.
I'm surprised that this info is out there for anyone. I'm sure that the military has a lot of other things that we don't know about.
Crazyness
Jo jorgensen for president!
election is in november and inauguation is the following january
Nobody would win. It would most likely be on the scale of the "The Great War" from the Fallout game franchise.
Where’s part 2?!
Don't try this at home!
Bloody hell Russia has everything
Usually when I hear people from other countries discussing American politics it’s way off but you guys seem to be more level headed and better informed than most Americans from either “side”. Thanks for that, there’s no way I could discuss any other country’s politics let alone Britain, y’all have too many parties😂
Dave got the story almost all the way correct, my memory is they were aboard a nuclear sub, got the order to fire & if I remember correctly all 3 senior command ppl onboard have to give the go ahead to launch 2 gave the ok & one refused so they couldn’t launch
this is also what i remember.Also, here was a russian at a different time I thinkthat also refused to give the order. It's very scary how close we came...
hell, there was supposedly a UK recon planealmost shot down near ukraine. the missile from a russian jet had a malfunction....crazy.
And the guy who rejected the launch wasn't a regular member of the crew. He happened to be there for a visit and actually had the authority to stop it.
That is incorrect. It wasn't on a sub. Where do you get your info from?
SIOP or PSYOP?
SIOP
Im voti g for Afroman as president
Usa comedia
I always watch these dudes, love most of their content ,but I'll pass on this one it's depressing to think about as an American. Btw were all fuckd if it really happens. Mutual assured destruction.
"we would all have to use samsung" why does daz always come up with the worst case scenario 😒😂
12:05 Isn’t Manchester on the northwest coast?
I also thought Leeds was more in the center of northern England
#1 we would not
#2 there would be survivors not a nation
#3 acting like we could in any way shape or form win let alone survive is utter bullshit.
#4 save you all some time.
It's not like there's 15 mins to make a sudden, heat-of-the-moment decision. There's already protocol in place for every scenario they can think of. Can you imagine Biden trying make a decision?
Thanks for being semi informed Dave. Gave a little pushback to the MSM narratives that were getting echoed
derp
#Trump2024 #FJB
Dave thinks Ukraine should just white flag it for peace and give up a fifth of their rightful land? What the hell, let that happen to UK and you just settle for that.
