Exactly. Very unlikely once one nuke is used it ends there. Just isn't logical to think otherwise.Atom splitting in anger is a threshold crossing event. Anywhere

Well someone can correct me but a nuclear event that does not include the US directly has traditionally not been a incident that would prompts a defcon 1 or 2.Atom splitting in anger is a threshold crossing event. Anywhere
We are worldwide. Used to be only the United States. But now we will alert for a nuclear attack anywhere.Well someone can correct me but a nuclear event that does not include the US directly has traditionally not been a incident that would prompts a defcon 1 or 2.
I’m not say this would’t apply with the war current war in Ukraine. I believe a 2 would be called for a limited tactical nuke.
But if India and Pakistan go at it that has not been a cause for a defcon one for the US.
Just clarifying here
The DWS alert system severs the whole world.not include the US directly
As far as us strategic posture goes your sorta right. But we are not the us military. This community assesses threats in every theatre.Well someone can correct me but a nuclear event that does not include the US directly has traditionally not been a incident that would prompts a defcon 1 or 2.

Well that's vague. But if there is any particular notable strategic posturing and heavy border clashes most likly yes.So if India and pak are getting ready to go at it we’re an orange?
I’m just saying that has not been the standard here in the past.
No its entire world now. Has been for almost 2 years now right? @DEFCON Warning SystemBut the status alerts were traditionally centered on US - a Western Europe theaters.,
Uh...uh...Not sure when we switched officially.No its entire world now. Has been for almost 2 years now right? @DEFCON Warning System
Up until this year February when Russia invaded Ukraine we hardly if ever were anything else but green.I’m just saying that has not been the standard here in the past.
Ok thank you for clarification,Up until this year February when Russia invaded Ukraine we hardly if ever were anything else but green.

So I don't think anyone really noticed since the level never really changed for many years before Russia invaded Ukraine.
I don't see the difference?Well someone can correct me but a nuclear event that does not include the US directly has traditionally not been a incident that would prompts a defcon 1 or 2.

Mods all ready answered. In the past we did not adjust the levels because tensions in say India Pakistan event., thats all I forgot there was a change.I don't see the difference?
Sorry I don't understand if there is or was a nuclear threat between those two countries surely that would have to count aswell.??Mods all ready answered. In the past we did not adjust the levels because tensions in say India Pakistan event., thats all I forgot there was a change.
No a few years ago for all of DWS history the alert level only pertained to US. Now the alert is for whole world theater.Sorry I don't understand if there is or was a nuclear threat between those two countries surely that would have to count aswell.??
Obviously the answer than is yes nowadays.No a few years ago for all of DWS history the alert level only pertained to US. Now the alert is for whole world theater.
