Doomsday Scenario Overview

Introduction

• A hypothetical doomsday scenario where all nuclear powers unleash their arsenals.
• Begins with silo doors opening and missiles launching worldwide.

Initial Coordination (0 hours, 0 minutes, 1 second)

• Leaders from nine nuclear-armed states coordinate with military command for launch.
• In the US, the President uses the nuclear football to establish communication.
• The NMCC at the Pentagon relays orders globally.

Attack Options

• Counterforce Strike: Targets military capabilities.
• Countervalue Strike: Targets economic and cultural centers.
• Global Strike: Full-scale attack on all nuclear threats.

Execution of Orders

• Backup command centers and airborne command posts ensure order execution.
• Emergency War Orders detail the attack plan.

Missile Launch Sequence

• 5 minutes: ICBMs from Russia, China, and the US launch.
• Two-man rule in US silos; remote launch possible.
• Airborne command posts assume position.

Missile Flight

• 6 minutes: 800+ ICBMs in flight; stage separation.
• Russian missile reliability issues due to maintenance and corruption.
• Chinese forces rely on retaliation.

Global Reactions

• 8 minutes: Global nuclear powers prepare and launch.
  • North Korea: Prepares launches, uncertain of US targets.
  • Israel: Targets Iran.
  • France: Independent nuclear capability.

Strategic Missile Deployments

• 9 minutes: Missiles enter space; countermeasures deployed.
• US missile defense overwhelmed.

Global Strikes

• 15 minutes: Alert aircraft airborne; nuclear exchanges continue.
• European targets hit by Russian missiles.
• Submarines from various nations prepare launches.

Impact and Retaliation

• 30 minutes: American and Russian infrastructure hit.
• Presidential continuity ensured aboard Air Force One.
• Escape strategies for government and military personnel.

Prolonged Nuclear Engagement

• 1 hour: Strategic bombers continue to engage.
• 3 hours: US bombers penetrate Chinese airspace targeting key cities.

Long-term Aftermath

• 24 hours: Mass destruction; global panic ensues.
• 7 days later: Global devastation complete; mass migrations begin.

Environmental Impact

• Global cooling from atmospheric debris.
• Radioactive storms threaten survivors.
• Long-term environmental toxicity.

Conclusion and Speculation

• Invites viewers to contemplate the global outcome of nuclear war.
• Suggests possible survival tactics and future research.

This document captures the key points of a hypothetical doomsday scenario involving global nuclear war, emphasizing the steps, strategies, and eventual catastrophic impact. It serves as a sobering reminder of the destructive potential of nuclear arsenals globally.
