Let’s have every single general, admiral, and other very high ranking military personnel in the same room with the secretary of war and the president. Oh, and let’s announce it publicly ahead of time. What could go wrong?
JFC Pete is so fucking stupid. A smart, motivated, and malicious individual could have wiped out all of our military leadership in an instant.
I felt the same way on 9/11… The reaction was to close every bridge and tunnel on and off Manhattan and my first thought was “Well, shit, captive audience, so if whoever did it has a dirty nuke, that’s the time for the dirty nuke.”
Dirty bomb sounds much worse than the danger it actually creates, although it does creates panic and having closed bridges and tunnel would def increase effects of it
I know Hanlon’s Razor and what not, but in this case, I do have to wonder if the intent was malicious, or more data from this was gleaned by our adversaries than we realize.
At this point we know the GOP is compromised with Kremlin assets masquerading as asshats.
The US goes through a threat situation like this every state of the union, if they can’t handle something like that for this, they can’t handle it for that either, and the state of the union is a better target.

Yeah, I didn’t expect them to have a NUKE nuke, but a dirty bomb felt like an actual possibility.

How? Is a foreign actor going to launch an ICBM at Virginia? This was at Quantico, not exactly a place where anybody can enter or even get near.
Edit because I was curious and checked: the base occupies over 55,000 acres.
An insider threat (which is seeming more and more likely) wouldn’t’ve needed an ICBM

Sure, I’m not saying it would be easy for an insider threat, I’m just saying there’s options other than an ICBM.
