1. Lack of communication is always a potential for disaster.

   1. Yes, and locally think Amrron. Our local Amrron net’s communications is valuable. Really getting to know those on is priceless.

2. In this case the technical systems worked better than the human ones. In a previous case (Able Archer 83) when Soviet technical systems reported five ICBMs launched from the US, and LTC Stanislav Petrov, the missile warning officer on duty, decided it was a false alarm based on the number of launches being too small. Two cases where nuclear war could have started based on faulty information. Doesn’t make you sleep better at night, does it?

3. When Ivan screws up he does it in a big way!

4. Actually the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Domesday Clock to 2 minutes to midnight — reflecting the most dangerous status since 1953 — when we and the Soviets first exploded hydrogen bombs.

   Obama’s coup in Ukraine makes sense only if US elites are planning on putting NATO bases –and stealth drones carrying nuclear warheads — within 300 miles of Moscow and Russia’s ICBM sites. A prelude to a First Strike and seizure of Russia’s immense natural resources.

   Because Bill Clinton’s globalization will collapse without a global government –with immense loss of wealth by our elites. Ukraine was a lethal threat to nuclear armed Russia.

5. That was an interesting article. Looks like they need to update it and add #21. I wonder if those who stayed calm, analyzing the whole picture to verify what was really happening were recognized vs. those who panicked.

6. When we studied Root Cause Analysis, the instructor stated that in 90% (if not more) of events, Poor Communication Techniques and Lack of Management Oversight were the major causes.
