Did you know that we can within minutes of a nuclear attack on North America in 1995?

Considering that on January 25, 1995 Boris Yeltsin, then President of Russia, came within three minutes of initiating a full nuclear strike on the United States because of one scientific rocket Russians could not identify, this is hardly a fanciful scenario.

quote:

On 25 January, 1995, the Russian early warning radars detected an unexpected missile launch near Spitzbergen. The estimated flight time to Moscow was 5 minutes. The Russian President, the Defence Minister and the Chief of Staff were informed. The early warning and the control and command systems switched to combat mode. Within 5 minutes, the radars determined that the missile's impact point would be outside the Russian borders. The missile was carrying instruments for scientific measurements. On 16 January Norway had notified 35 countries including Russia that the launch was planned. Information had apparently reached the Russian Defense Ministry, but failed to reach the on-duty personnel of the early warning system.

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal zoweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

Okay so that's not really 1995, but let's not dwell on technicalities here.

omg theres another karim

Um, we literally have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world something like ten times over.

karim squared

I dont think you can count out flying cars, global warming or the fall of the american empire (esp with bush in office) quite yet.

And now that stupid little countries like india and north korea have nuclear weapons we are in more danger today than during the cold war.

I agree with you.. And genetic engineering hasn't been as prolific I would imagine becuase of all the laws that have been put into effect. However we've mapped the human genome, we use genetically engineered virus's for genetic diseases. These are applications that are already well used and well known. Forget all the conspiracy theories, who knows Russia or the U.S may of produced a prefect super soldier aha!

We've been doing this stuff since the eugenics experiements with the Nazi's. I highly doubt that a lab doing experimental stuff such as those doesn't exist. And if you look at genetically engineered plants it's actually already in practical applications already too.

You can add IRAN into the mix

Iran doesn't have Nuclear weapons just yet, nor the missles that have the range that can reach any country outside of Israel. However i'm sure with some time it'll happen.

This one was averted actually....Most AirLines use Mainframes/ As400's for their operations from ticketing to flight controls etc.....And the systems were patched midway through 1999....
