Russo-NATO War (Georgia Mix-Up)

[DarkNoon]

Really think the US would nuke itself? Especially when civilians would still be there.

I'm pretty sure there's a movie about that. In order to prevent all out nuclear war because we accidentally nuked Moscow in exchange we nuked New York City to prevent further escalation. The president decided it was better that we nuked ourselves than letting the Russians do it.

Found the movie and found the scene where the president says nuke NYC in order to prevent all out nuclear war. Good movie. Danm good movie.

Fail Safe 1964:

There are actually two versions of that movie. 1964 and 2000. I liked both.

It can be safely assumed a travel ban and communications blackout would've been implemented on New York City to ensure nobody can leave the city before it was destroyed and democracy temporarily suspended for 10 to 20 years so the President who authorized the destruction of New York couldn't be voted out?

Well if it is to negotiate a peace settlement with Russia, I don't think there would be no need to suspend democracy/constitution. Maybe martial law for awhile around NYC region as well its center would be a crater....

But if I remember correctly president has full authority to negotiate peace treaty so don't think it would be unconstitutional, maybe, all extremely speculative.. Even more so if congress gives the president special wartime powers already beyond the president board reaching powers as it has already in this regard.

Disenfranchisement of all families of everyone killed in New York possible?

Disenfranchisement of all families of everyone killed in New York possible?

Maybe somthing similar to the 9/11 funds we have now for victims family's but on a much, much, much larger scale. That would only be the only way forward really. Massive federal bailout of basically every single citizen around the NYC region, then the families of people across the country who had a family member lost in NYC included in these funds.

It wouldn't be impossible though for America. Next to impossible. But not entirely...

Here is the scene:

Still get chills watching that part.

Although I feel like the federal government should set something up similar right now in real life. Start stashing funds and adding funds and put it away for a rainy day.

Because nuclear terrorism is only going to become more credible and more prominent. The federal government should set up an insurance policy just in case New York City or other major center ever gets taken out. Because New York City alone economically being taken out of the equation suddenly would just be absolutely catastrophic if we didn't have something to fall back on.
