Absolutely hate how the opening line could be mistaken for current events a decade later.
HBO, please put the original air date in the description. ⭐️
He started talking about war in Gaza I thought this was recent, then I realized it could be anytime in human history
Who else has HBO Max but watches all these on KZhead?
Ten years ago, they were talking about war in Ukraine and Gaza. Some things never change
Had to double check since Jon looks younger and then remembered that they're releasing the full library here. Excellent!
History really does repeat itself
"Ukraine is sliding in to anarchy, the Gaza ceasefire is tenuous ..." WHAT YEAR IS IT?!
Former USAF nuclear weapons technician, here. I think about them all the time. People are clueless as to their power and lasting effects. And if you think we're doing a poor job of maintaining them; you should see how Russia operates.
And this is why Professor/Physicist Brian Cox has made the comment that people's biggest fear should not be war, but stupidity. Great show John!!!!!!
S1 Ep12 ya don't say, the Black Hair and lack of stress said entirely enough 😂
"Ukraine is sliding into anarchy, the Gaza ceasefire is tenuous..." Oh, this is
I know John wont see this but id love to hear his thoughts on how the topics he covered 10 years ago are still relevant. I know its not just me but its incredibly discouraging that it feel like nothing changes, that it feels like a miracle that his show exists at all with corporate consolidation and silencing of journalists, it feels like no matter how much I may want change, in another 20 years Columbia will be silencing another humanitarian protest :c
Interesting to see how a decade ago, both Gaza and Ukrain are headline news at the same time... Wild.
Need airdate on every episode now
One thing of note about old nuclear weapons technology. It being so old running on a custom operating system and floppies can actually make them more secure as it can make it harder to hack or disrupt.
That guy 100% still thinks those two are from India. Totally over his head lol.
using obsolete tech like big floppies is actually a security feature now... nobody can hack them without being physically on site.
Somebody PLEASE make a 3 hour analysis/retrospective/review of every season of the show🤩
I’m amazed at how relevant this is currently.
