I mean, it's what I'd have if I were KJU... and it's exactly what we'd expect them to put in place if they fear the kinds of decapitating attack that we have threatened. https://twitter.com/shashj/status/958391832437841920 …
The Soviet and the US both made systems that, while not fully-automated (they still required some human judgment/input), were highly streamlined in the event of a "decapitating" strike.

The Soviet Perimetr ("Dead Hand") system is as close to an automated system as was ever deployed — once activated, if contact was lost to the Kremlin, missiles were meant to be launched from a more remote location. Not full-auto, but close enough.

No — orders still had to be routed. But the routing got very fast.
