DownloadMr. President! Nuclear missiles will strike our country in 14 minutes.
I know it’s your first day in office so I’m going to walk you through it, but you’re the only one
who can authorize our nuclear retaliation in
response and you’ve only got a few minutes to make a decision!
As you know tensions have escalated rapidly in the past few days.
Today’s joint allied aerial defense exercise began just minutes before we detected the launch.
A simple misunderstanding maybe.
We assume the sudden attack is meant to neutralize as many of our nuclear forces as possible.
But that doesn’t matter now – missiles are in the air and we can’t shoot all of ‘em down.
Why? Because Intercontinental ballistic missiles are basically rockets launched into space
before re-entering the atmosphere over their target and releasing many different warheads.
Higher and faster than anything you can send after them.
We need to get you to the bunker!
