So guys, there is this Tuesday night group that's a live phone call (using Google Meet) that you might wanna participate in. It's hosted by Hayden "Sass" Sasswood. It happens Tuesday night beginning at 8:00 pm East Coast (or 5:00 pm Left Coast) on Tuesday night.

The Google Meet URL or go to https://democracydiscussion.com .

It's still going right now. But we've been going for 2 hours already. You don't need to stay for the whole call.

Come join us and argue about voting methods! We even, once-in-a-while get some fereigners from Down Under calling in.

Just curious who/what might be going on about it.

Something a little like Sum of all Fears or similar.

I have been reading that North Korea has actually tested a 160 kiloton possibly thermonuclear bomb on September 4, 2017. That's 8 times bigger than Fat Man. North Korea keeps testing delivery vehicles and is getting transpacific.

So the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of course cannot compete with the U.S. on par because of the disparity of size, wealth, and technological advancement of the two countries. The U.S. is far more powerful and the DPRK must respect that.

But if I was the fat, crazy, evil North Korean megalomaniac dictator and I wanted to nuke DC for some reason, I know that if the U.S. sees the missile coming from the DPRK, then I can kiss Pyongyang goodbye. So, to maintain plausible deniability, our strategic military and spy agency would cook up a plan to very covertly smuggle an entire functioning midrange thermonuclear missile to some virtually uninhabited place in South America or maybe in Norway or something.

Part of the plan must be engineering the stealth to get the missile to the total wild-assed location so that NORAD would have no idea of what to make of it after it launches. They see it launch and track it and it becomes alarming, but they have no evidence that it's connected to any particular enemy.

So after DC gets nuked, the crippled U.S. has to figure out how to respond but, to do that, they gotta figure out what happened. Who is responsible.

I wonder if a Tom-Clancy-like movie could be made outa that?
