The US is at DEFCON 3
 

The DEFCON Warning System

This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 8 P.M., Thursday, October 13th, 2016. Condition code is Yellow. DEFCON 3.

Tensions between Russia and the United States have reached levels beyond the cold war in the recent week.

The situation between Russia and the United States is extremely fluid at the moment. In all likelihood as dynamic as at times during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Mainstream media has taken a very serious tone concerning the change from diplomatic to military options between NATO and Russia. CNN stated, ?It's not a new Cold War. It's not even a deep chill. It's an outright conflict.? On October 10th Former Soviet Premier Gorbachev is quoted as saying, ?I think the world has reached a dangerous point.???There are signs of a potential growing large scale conflict in nearly every geopolitical hotspot including Syria, Yemen, Ukraine, and the Philippines. Syria is seen as one of the trigger points to the renewed tensions between the United States and Russia. The United States has also accused Russia of a cyberattack and meddling with the US Presidential Election. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest promised on Tuesday that the U.S. would deliver a ?proportional? response to Russia?s alleged hacking of American computer systems. The US and Britain are also expected to weigh into Syrian military options on Friday. This could increase tensions between the two superpowers to a greater extent.

Moreover, Houthi rebels on the South Coast of Yemen fired one anti-ship missile at the U.S.S. Mason on Sunday, and another on Wednesday. The Pentagon responded by firing 5 TLAM missiles at radar stations inside Yemen. Around this same time, Iran dispatched a fleet of ships to the area. The U.S.S. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group has also been dispatched to the area.

At this time, the DEFCON Warning System feels that an increase to DEFCON 3 would be a prudent move. The situation is currently fluid with diplomatic ties strained and military threats coming from both sides. Russian media is reportedly telling its citizens to prepare for nuclear war. Russia has recently conducted civil defense drills and completed inspections of underground areas to house government officials and some civilians in the event of nuclear war. This is a very sensitive situation which has the potential to spiral out of control. It is recommended that all citizens learn the steps to be taken in the event of nuclear war. We will continue to bring updated information as we receive it.

The DEFCON Warning System is an analytical reporting organization which focuses on nuclear threats against the United States and offers an alert code to the public based on current events. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack.

If this had been an actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. Official news sources will have radiation readings for your area.

This concludes this broadcast of the DEFCON Warning System.

jeezus.....

You guys fall for the dumbest shit.. Always scaring yourselves about the boogeymen who's gonna get you..

DEFCON Warning Level Escalated to 3 : snopes.com

Every election you guys fall for this shit like clockwork.. It's always gonna be nuclear war, he's gonna take our guns.. he's a commie, he's a muslim.. the list goes on and on..

BTW.. we were at Defcon 2 during the opening stages of the Gulf war in 1991.. We didn't die. Relax, put your gun back under your pillow and eat more potato chips..

Seriously, assholes? Geezuz Christ people fall for the dumbest shit sometimes.

I actually think obama would risk war with Russia because he is scared shitless of trump victory. That 2 faced mother fucker talks jive when blacks are listening and he is in bed with the clinton machine.

You really can't believe that can you? Obama would like to see Clinton win because he wants the Democrats to stay in power, but if Trump wins Obama isn't going to lose any sleep. His approval numbers are good, after he leaves office he will be in a place to make a ton of money and he is still young enough that he can do whatever he wants to do and enjoy his life. Trump is going to be pretty far from his mind.

I actually believe obama would rather start a nuclear war then let trump win.

Thinking is not your forte. Best for you to be not seen and not heard.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:321GFY

What? .....

Actually, there is reason to be optimistic this morning. A cease fire was agreed to in Yemen and the Russians and Syrians have agreed to a halt in bombing in Aleppo, Syria.

Now, less posturing in northeastern Europe between Russia and NATO might be possible. Pull the troops back and normalize commerce. Trading partners have nothing to gain by evaporating each other ...

This constant saber rattling and brinkmanship is causing too much stress.

bro ruff is a fucking idiot. never mind on him

Let me help you out a little my friend. You can relax. Obama won't do that. If you need some proof, just like at that crazy idiot Kim Jung Un, leader of North Korea. This fool is test-firing nukes and ICBM's and threatens the US every second week with nuclear war, yet Obama stays calm and cool.

What I think is going on right now with the current Nuke scare is coming from the Trump campaign somewhere. Insane fear tactics have been used before in US politics to sway voters. Terrible.




And I'm sure you remember all of this



Be afraid!

Holy shit...another racist outs himself on GFY. Not like it's any surprise.

Here's where you say "I'm not a racist". Kind of like when I tell someone the sky is blue and they say it's green.

It amazes me how stupid these people are. :1orglaugh

+ fucking 1.

Of course you do, because you are nuts..

The best part, is it literally took me 2 seconds to find out the story was a hoax, but somewhere in their cross circuits, doing a bit of fact checking doesn't compute. After all all the fact check sites are in on the conspiracy, the random guy in his grandma's basement is in the know!!!

fucking nuts.. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
