(Disclaimer...Forget that you know that for at least the next 19 months, China could literally hang a nuke on a spy balloon, float it anywhere in the U.S. they want, and drop it on us from there with complete impunity. Just play along. 😉)
If the People's Republic of China launched a long-range, nuclear tipped missile toward the United States in the middle of the night, it would take approximately 30 minutes from launch until detonation on U.S. soil.
The president of the United States would have that much time to wake up, get briefed, issue orders and react.
Joe Biden is the president of the United States.
Most Likely Scenario?
A. Joe Biden gets awakened and notified, taken from bed, briefed, prepped, whisked down to the situation room, has all the options laid out for him, orders U.S. missile defense systems to their highest level of readiness to neutralize the threat, quickly ponders the advice of his top military advisors, makes a decision, gives the order to execute the mission and saves the day with just two minutes left to spare.
B. Joe Biden makes it to 'bathrobe & slippers', then trips over Fakedoctor Jill's fakedoctor's bag, and is prone and confused on the floor when the PLA missile hits.
C. Other
GO!!! 🤪
We’re all gonna die.
B for sure, unfortunately for all of us.
