Russia you so old.

YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE HORRORS OF DEAD HAND! D:<

If a truly automated system was built, one beyond the control of anybody even its creators, it would be safer since the human is removed; it would render the concept of a nuclear war obsolete. Actually with the right trigger it could make war itself obsolete.

It a shame that such system was never implemented. It would be a turning point to the whole humanity.

mein fuhrer! ...i can walk!!!

[pbonney]

Well, at least that rules out the chances of a "First Stike" against the Soviet Union and will at least if it makes people feel more secure it could be for the better. Some day maybe nuclear weapons will be done away with. Conventional war is very expensive and unsustainable. Unfortunately, I think mankind will go away before war will.

[northerbrewer]

I love the idea of doomsday machines lol.

So futile and foolish....

So insane...

So complete beyond normal common sence its actualy funny.

just a big joke

[chronius9]

In reality dead hand never worked in full auto. There were three commanders in deep bunker below Moscow, who in case of destruction of central command in Kremlin or when dead hand turned on should have decided whether to retaliate in voting. Unless it was recently set in full auto it hadn't worked in automatic sequence.

[MillyVanillification]

Seems to me that the inventors of Perimetr have forgotten about the possibility, that people like the djihadis (or other deluded religious assholes) would use the existence of a doomsday machine to wipe the human race from the planet. The creation of a doomsday machine illustrates how wrong people can be about the brain content of others.

[fludblud]

something straight outta terminator, must be scary knowing that even if you killed the soviet leadership, your enemy will still take you down without conscience, thought or remorse in the form of a computer whos sole purpose would be to destroy you and your nation.

now thats what i call M.A.D

[Russia2010]

@fludblud

we are even not irak. usa will fuck up if these assholes attack us.

[aviomaster]

IF Iraq had weapons of mass destruction USA soldiers would be first to KNOW this ...

They would feel it on their own skin , But of course that was a lie which started the war ... THAT is how easy it is to START war ...

[aviomaster]

--- Only way USA can win in Iraq and Afganistan is with Russian Help ...

There is no other way ,

Even If Russia helps , victory is not guaranteed ,,,

[BlazedBud420]

What is there to 'win' almost 9 years later? America 'won' in their minds on sept. 11 2001 when they scared an entire world into believing muslim terrorists flew planes into the WTC, and the most heavily guarded building on earth, the pentagon.

[jinkdog2008]

I don't belived this fucking story I bet they still nukes I don't think world never ban on nukes...

[Nitrorus]

This reminds me 16-bit game "Dune 2". Harkonnen's uber-weapon was named "Death hand" and voice, notifying about launch of the missile, - "Death hand approaching!"

[21arvi]

@Nitrorus what r u saying?

[averageworkinggal]

Oh puh-lease.

The US GMD system only has 30 interceptors and in most cases 2 would be salvo'd for each reentry vehicle to ensure higher probabality of kill.

That leaves the defendable raid size at 15.

Russia has hundreds or thousands of reentry vehicles.

GMD is designed for North Korea folks.

Stop your silly whining about it Russia.

[sharingundragon]

how i learned to stop worring and love the bomb.

[mokdadmm]

0:26s to 0:34s; looks like P.Roosevelt on the order to strike Japan with the Nuclear bombs during WW2.

[VSPronin]

If they get rid of the nukes completely big conventional war will soon follow. And in the process of it they'll start building nukes in spite of all treaties. They best keep the nukes - they're the real peace keepers of modern world.

[sabrerattler1]

dear comrades!...the name on the chernobyl reactor 4 power plant is vladimir iiyich lenin (boloshevik war criminal of civil war vs whites) for the next 400,000 years earth civilization will suffer from communist fanaticism...google kiev mayday parade 1986...under invisible fallout!...this is the evil empires monument for 400,000 years!.../ @ chicago

[Nitrorus]

U.S. Nuclear Accidents

lutins . org/nukes.html

Despite claims by the nuclear industry that "no one died at Three Mile Island," a study by Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass, professor of radiation physics at the University of Pittsburgh, showed that the accident led to a minimum of 430 infant deaths.

[21arvi]

@Nitrorus Pls read the personel msg i sent to u

[sabrerattler1]

one nice thing about chernobyl 1986...the radioactive fallout even dumped its poisons on red communist china!...but not on north america the beautiful!...(smile).../ @ chicago

[sabrerattler1]

chernobyl meltdown explosion 26 apr 1986 by stalinist fanatics...released 400 times the radioactive fallout of the glorious hiroshima second strike on shinto empire 1945....the ussr nuked itself and its warsaw pact police state gulag nations!...this is a mess russia must pay to clean up! / chicago

[insearchofufos]

[insearchofufos]

the filthy red hammer and sickle flag of the ussr forver flies in a shameful crime against humanity over chernobyl 1986!...soviet secrecy and coverup and russian lies that its only a mess for 600 years...no comrade its a mess for 400000 years!...clean up your mess and pay reparations to ukraine! /@ wisconsin

[insearchofufos]

america did not cause chernobyl 1986 in ukraine ussr...but red communist stalinist russian murdering idiots!...chernobyl 1986 is the eternal 400 000 year filthy monument to the ussr and communist-stalinist murder! / @ wisconsin

[insearchofufos]

"skynet is online!"....(see movie colossus the forbin project)...pentagon cold war s.i.o.p. nuclear war plan had over 700 extra warheads targeted on moscow...chernobyl 1986 is plutonium-239 radioactive (halflife 24000 years...not gone until 400000 years) ussr nuked itself! and fallout hit all warsaw pact nations!...ukraine and belarus mess forever! / @ wisconsin

[HITLERSBERLINSANDPIT]

Is all a game of bluff and double bluff as far as the nuclear arms race is concerned;if you think your enemy is a liar;they most probably are....i think the arms race competition threatened to break the east and west economies at one point....the deadmans trigger firing sequence is no real surprize whatsoever

..i am sure the red button is merely an emergency stop launch sequence interupt

[troglodyte3344]

Forget the past lets look towards the future together. we need a new energy source. Lets put our thoughts and feelings towards that instead of commenting on how bad other countries are. The country cannot be blamed only the leadership. If I were in power I would want peace.

[amerikaner101]

HAHHAAH FUCKING RUSKIES!!

They Still have that shit going on they will even have means of keeping DEAD hand even if the treaty is signed a war with the ruskies is iminent !

we all know these wll ...those that are war aware

[2minstral]

Nuclear weapons will never be eliminated because China has the capability of putting 500 million people in its army very quickly. Reduction talks are a joke. As far as conventional armies go, China wins hands down and both the US and Russia know this.

[illdietryin]

Nuke amoured states please do the right thing and send little missiles to the Vatican, The District of Columbia DC and London Central. A couple in the Illuminati families' back gardens would probably be good too. But make sure they are targeted accurately and that they are only big enough to wipe those power centers out for ever. The world will not experience peace and stability until they are.

[aSuperbadassninja]

i agree

[GovWillKillU]

i like that. post mortum destruction.

[markjoachen]

iran ,,,north korea stop playing this dangerous game bad things will happen to all of us if you attack us i mean the free world and russia peace to russia and the greedy western world

[enslavetherich]

Are you aware of the fact that Bush's government was funding Russian companies who built the nuclear facility in Bushehr, Iran? Both Russia and the USA helped Iran to gain the technology..

And what real evidence of nuclear weapons are there? I have not seen any convincing evidence yet.

I don't think that the people of Iran wants to get into a war with countries like the US. On the other hand all the oil and gas reserves Iran has must be very interesting for the western corporations.

[averageworkinggal]

@enslavetherich -

You're comment is stupid.

The London Times just published a smoking gun document from Iran that shows that the Iranians were working on a nuclear bomb trigger - a neutron generator based on UD3 - which has no civilian or military application other than in nuclear bombs.

The Iranians are building nuke bombs.

It's proven.

[enslavetherich]

The fact that the USA and Russia helped Iran in building these facilities might have been even more stupid as the post I made.

And furthermore, when was this published? I see.. Yesterday.. On the day I posted my comment..

Is it strange I did not pick that up from the Times soon enough, as I'm not living in the UK??

And futhermore, what you want to do next? Bomb Iran? Send some more troops in??

[BlazedBud420]

Proven by the mainstream media, who use scare tactics to round their troops to invade countries for false reasons... remember the war in iraq? how many times did we hear they had WMD? how many WMD did they actually find? According to them it was proven they had nukes, but there's been no sign of them now almost 6 years after initial invasion.

[BlazedBud420]

correction, nearly 7 years.

[markjoachen]

you see dont mess with russians and americans they are too big countires that can bomb your asses of this world so iran leader you are great but you dont need to stop showing off i know its funny upseting the eu but its time to stop and let them have there way there are other ways to get power like solar power

[Harriott1]

the most high will bring a nuclear cause it is written in the bible dummies

[Flankymanga]

This system is still operational and not just that... new enforced command center is being build under Yamantau mountain in Southern Urals. This is a top secret facility without public access.

[peepeevagi]

Thank god it's now just history.

Just laugh and forget gentlemen.
