Yeltsin thought a satelitte rocket was a nuke attack and got out the nuclear football and almost nuked us. He never bothered to call Clinton and ask him about it

Frightening, I never heard about this until now. Why wasn't this a bigger story?

Was a pretty big story at the time here in Norway, where it is referred to as the "Andøya incident" after the island, used for research that the rocket was launched from, however, it was not until a few years later we got to know how close Russia actually was to the launching the nuke, had we known at the time, the case surely would have gained more international press, but Russian warrooms are not exactly famed for constantly updating the press with their thoughts.

Stuff like this just pisses me off. How many of these near misses have we had in the last 50 years? And those are the ones we publicly know about. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed in each and every case. But that may not be the case in the future, especially when we have a moron for a president who'd have an excuse to whip out his cock then do the smart thing and wait to see if a threat is real. I don't know if we'll survive 18 more months with this bonehead in office.

Last mushroom cloud is a shot from The Day After, a TV movie from 1983 which was the highest rated television event until about the 90s.
