    "Our defense posture must be designed to reduce the danger of irrational or unpremeditated general war--the danger...of miscalculation or misinterpretation of an incident or enemy intention.” — JFK, March 1961

        That's one of the reasons he was murdered. He wanted to quell the unchecked military industrial complex and the people getting rich/staying rich bc of it. The CIA certainly didn't want their overthrow of democratically elected leaders interfered with.

        It wouldn't take much of a mistake for Trump to believe nukes were incoming. The question is, in a system designed for speed, are there enough checks that would stop his order? I looked into this, there a few but not many, it is I think why the doomsday clock is so close to 12pm

        I was 7 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Everyone I knew would have died that week, even if the Soviets had not targeted population centers. I feel young again! Just not in a good way...

        How is it that the occupier of the WH did nothing to inform the Ametican people about the Hawaii incident, during or immediately after ?

        Maybe someone was testing the response in Hawaii? Setting a precedent, maybe?

        Thank you Mr Beschloss. I RT this as it brings up the question if it took 30+ mins to resolve the HI alarm, what did the Trump admin do?
