The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Even top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

    This seems like exactly the type of gathering you want to avoid in a world where hypersonic missiles probably* exist.

    * bring on the pedantry over what actually defines a hypersonic missile

      Seems like the kind of gathering where you may want to bring a gun and sit near the emergency exit.

      Putin is salivating right now. Jerking off to visions of a nuke wiping out the heads of US military.

        There’s always the state of the union where you could cripple the US government, so it’s not like there aren’t options for something like that if you were already willing to risk it.

        Whole TV series on that too called Designsted Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland. I quite enjoyed it.

          I loved it. But season 3 feels… idk, like the government is already fixed so plot is over, not sure why they even made a season 3.

            It got very formulaic.

            Crisis happens, president makes rash decision that his advisors say is going to be a mistake, mistake happens, he fixes mistake with fatherly talk and “I’m new at this” repeat.
