this is just fear mongry
@@Clint-kr8zmwhy?because this is really a serious threat?
@@Pattys1967 what do you mean threat
Guys live your life the best you can, appreciate every day! Most of the „leaders“ in this world are psychopaths or idiots. Treat everyone with respect and be kind ♥️
Well said in love. ❤ Just be a good guy as we've bought into, and drank too much, kool-aid and done enough wrongs. None want to be bad really, blackmail and threats to families, black balling etc..by stripping all down is contracting by life threats......Thought aaaalll of that was void and against all laws known.
It's not just most of the leaders. It's most of us. Leaders did not drop from the sky. They are just one of us.
That’s it!!! I am 61 and my father worked on the atomic bomb for the government. I agree with your statement more than anything.
John 14:6.
Above all call on the name Of Jesus Christ for your own salvation! Eternity is along time without end, you wanna spend it with Christ NOT in hell.

@@LoveforAaronBushnellNo. Thanks to Satan!
Yes. Humans have a lot of crazy species members!
@@LucyKelly-of6cuyou know where Satan comes from? Religion. You know who believes in Satan? Religious people
@@LoveforAaronBushnell nope don't blame religion,blame human beings, to blame religion is an abdication of responsibility. The blame lies solely with the power hungry psychopaths that run this world.

My dog is seriously ill, my car has just developed a (probably) very expensive problem and my roof is suddenly in need of a repair. I might not waste my time worrying about these problems and just enjoy the last few months or days before being cooked alive. Thanks to the nice lady for putting things into perspective.
😂
I'm right with you,seems every day a new problem,also an expensive car problem,among so many others,I hope your dog gets better,they are such great companions,I have two.I also hope your car problem is solved,you are not alone.
Dog food harming dogs 😢
@@stjohnbaby Thankyou. There’s something so innocent about dogs, it’s heartbreaking when they are sick. 😢
@@holymoly271that’s true. He used to eat the normal poison dog food but now he has natural food only. It’s cheaper to buy good food than to keep visiting the vet.
Once in a while a podcast really hits the spot. This one was it for me! I am Sooooo glad as an owner/ manufacturer of electrical wire harnesses I turned down, and basically kicked the buyer off of my quotation list, who was working at Raytheon. He kept bugging me several times over the year, to help them make guidance system wiring, for their military products. At the time I was the only company that owned special tooling that could make the harnesses necessary that they required. I was even threatened by the buyer about Raytheon clout. I can now know that nothing I made to my knowledge has killed another human. I knew it was wrong back then to play a part in the build for a weapon of mass destruction, and this podcast has confirmed my decision as right, when I decided to not help back in the late 1990's .
That must be a great feeling.
You still pay taxes right so you are supporting weapons that can & will kill people don't Pat yourself on the back because of your high-minded business practices.
@@Rdenham1976 High minded business practices? Not supporting the killing machine is “high minded?” I bet you think investors that choose how they spend their own money and pull money out of funds with questionable defense stocks are just being “high minded” too. Think whatever you want. We do not have to do business or invest in any way that you or any government wants.
@@Rdenham1976 ah but I'm Canadian so I don't pay taxes to a war mongering gov.
I would love to be proven wrong - but you sound like most Americans - conceited in your humility. I'll freely admit - I roll my eyes at the sight of any, ANY American and when you guys say anything; it's enough to make me throw up. Germans AND Germany were castigated and bear the ignobility for butchering 6 million Jews. Americans and USA would in the not too distant future; be tried for the crimes of American Corporations, Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed-martin, CNN, Fox News, CitiBank, AIA, Google, Microsoft, etc, etc. On the subject of nuclear war; do you know why the Annie Jacobsons and so-called 'EXPERTS' crow 24/7 about America's nuclear might ? Because USA is completely surrounded by non nuclear-armed neighbors who are not in any position to retaliate when radio-active isotopes from an adversary's nuclear strike on US soil, blows into their territory. Whereas, EVERY nuclear-armed adversary of USA has a NATO neighbor, or a US pet-dog like in Japan or South Korea; where a nuclear retaliatory strike by US would bring howls of distress when the radio-active isotopes waft over. Enjoy that America.

Part of my service as a Royal Military Policeman going to West Germany in the 1980s, was to assess and plot fallout from tactical nukes. Plot the danger zones. We were considered as expendable. But back then, we had somewhat competent and sane statesman who were trying to de-escalate as much as possible. What is worrying me now is that we don’t. We have incompetent buffoons in control, who are detached from reality.
Not to forget an insane wannabe Czar of All the Russias who has said that a world without Russia is not worth having. I hope that maniac doesn't get his Hitler in the bunker moment.
Hi, I was on “Stand to” during the Cuban missile crisis, kit packed for a one way drop to some obscure East European radar installation. I am surprised that we have managed to miss the bullet for so long! Cheers mate Harera
You have to hope at this point, that Biden's handlers aren't even giving him the real nuclear code card anymore. And, that the officer carrying the football has been told not to let him start a nuclear war accidentally.
They just do what there told by the banks. Duhh.
Nukes do not exist. Smh.
Annie interviews people who go deep, very deep, down critical pathways and she can release the intelligence and isolation that goes with these roles. It lets us look behind doors that are closed to me and you and a dog named Boo. This podcast shows us that the further down these pathways you walk the more at risk we are of losing our humanity, perhaps quickly, perhaps totally. First class episode.
This is the single best podcast I have ever heard. Best in terms of honesty, useful information, and the most profound truths: that we do not need enemies. It is possible and necessary to disagree where we do - but not make enemies. Bless you both.
I’m massively conflicted. Never has such a shocking story being told by such a calming voice. I don’t know whether to scream or sleep.
😊sleep my friend, all is well.
Scream first and then sleep 😊
😂😂😂😂
Definitely sleep
So how is putting you head in the sand going not protect you from a nuclear blast?
New Zealand if you want to save yourself 2hrs of time you could spend with your family and friends. Time is short people, everybody wants your attention and making money off it. Not against all things, but this could’ve been a 10 min. Video. Stop worrying about things you cannot control. Just remember there’s a lot of evildoers in the world, bad things will happen to them too, they bleed just like us. Let’s stay united to fight them all.
She said in that case the world would be destr. in minutes, so how is she/anyone even thinking about people would have any time left to book a flight, (pack), drive to airport, wait in line, check in, wait some more and be 12+hours on the plane. And why would they not target the air too ? 🤔😢 makes little to no sense
Explains why all the worlds billionaires have been purchasing land and building bunkers there. At the end of the day if it goes down then I guess that’s what we did as humanity
Thanks. I won't go NZ though
@@martiendejong8857 good ,we already have too many immigrants.
New Zealand is the new home of the WEF ,good luck with that one. They own NZ and Australia.
Absolutely riveting, enlightening, terrifying. Everyone on earth should see this important and brave discussion.
Info is on point! Her ability to sell the book and walk you thru it so smoothly is Genius.
“After nuclear wars, the survivors will envy the dead”
I won’t envy for long if I’m in the fallout zone.
idk, Nag and Hiro are normal cities today, the US bombed the crap out of the nevada desert, Las Vegas thrives there, the poms blasted big holes in Australia but no particular radio active fallout there,...recently De grass Tyson stated controversially that nukes are not radio active...just stay outta cities, you'll be right.
What the Biden regime has done to this country already makes me envy the dead.
@jwdory says alot about why putin wants trump to win. For friendship? Nope. For weakness and eventually dominance followed by destruction.
@@augustusomega4708well those were different bombs compared to what we have in the modern times
I worried about this as a child ... Now I don't. I dont worry about things out of my control. If it happens, it happens.
You’re part of the problem…
best choice
This is weird, I agree with you both. You can drive yourself insane fretting about this because it's huge and terrifying. But there is a small element of it within our control - whether or not we call on our leaders to approach global conflicts in a way that makes nuclear way less likely, to put checks in place to protect their nuclear warheads from AI interference if possible (new fear opened up for me today by Annie, haha), and for every to reduce the number of warheads they have. Doing your bit might help appease the worry and guilt because at least you tried - after that, it's out of hands, yep.
I realised that this is out of our control…I need to end up in heaven where I live for eternity….the only way there is through Jesus Christ in the bible…not a church or man made religion but read your Bible start in John. Then revelation.❤ I’m not scared I’m look forward to going to heaven and try to get others up there too.❤❤❤don’t worry just get to know Yeshua the Redeemer.
How about an atomic mouse trap?
I had an elderly patient years ago who survived the bombing of Nagasaki. She told me what she experienced. I needed counseling after working with. It was difficult for many years, to carry what she told me.
Really! You needed counseling....
Why not share the story with us? Maybe it will help you!
@@Frankie-lx7bh Twice in my 20 year career as a clinician, I've heard stories from patients that were so awful, I had to unload them on someone else because I couldn't bear it alone and needed someone to share the burden. That was one of them. But I feel guilty for putting it on someone else. I certainly won't put it out on the Internet. Suffice it to say, it was years ago and I still remember parts of it, despite trying to forget. Her story and the story of other survivors is simply not something humans should have to endure.
You and people like you is the reason why the western world will fall. Needed counseling because of a story. Jesus Christ.
NMRK 🎉
Thank you, Annie, for bringing heart and humanity to a frightening subject. God bless.🙏❤
“…envy the dead”.. that statement got me
.When they go down into the mine, everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!
Imagine ..
That's why she said it ... She knows it'll get Christians to buy her book.
Yeah death by radiation is worst painful death! Not to mention heat/pressure injustires or dying in ruble and yet ppl that will caught radiation how do you kill yourself? There is no realiable quick way, you will suffer immensely...
What has Christianity got to do with this? As if if the world war ensues only Christians will die
She needs to be a storyteller, such a beautiful relaxing tone to her voice
Sweet and smooth like a psychopath wanting to accuse Trump in an election year. Perhaps she thinks that America's enemies should destroy the country without it having the right to defense?
Don't you guys think she looks similar to Gina Haspel, the former CIA director? Why would that be? Ma cha for more inf (crypt cuz sahwdownbas)
that’s exactly what i just thought, so calm and soothing
Oh wait...! She IS a storyteller! And narrates her own audiobook!
beautiful ,RELAXING tone.!! gives me the CREEPS ..⬅️
This is one of your best discussions yet. Fantastic work.
Thank you so much for interviewing the stellar Annie Jacobsen. I now have so much to contemplate!
If it happens, I want to be at ground zero. At 83 and an immigrant from Europe, the knowledge of the horrors of war is part of my psyche. You podcasts are fabulous. I am learning much. You got me hooked with the breath of knowledge and diversity of your guests.
Enter the hypersonic missile stage
I too am first generation Polish, both my parents lived through the war mom a civilian a d dad, a soldier. When I was 15 I asked my parents, relatives and friends of my parents this question. If you knew on the first day of the war that you would live through WW2 and go on with regular lives afterwards would you choose to live through the war or, die the first day from a nuclear blast. Every single one of them said they would choose to die on day one. Not a single one amongst them said live. Something to think about and I asked 16 of them.
Ground zero is small. You and most people would probably live through a climate interface attack. Even in an all out nuclear war, your chances of going quick are small. I suggest you avoid slow death from starvation or radiation exposure by making preparations to survive initial hostilities and the chaos sure to follow. If you do this as part of a group, your chances of survival rise exponentially.
@@josephtobin3347 Granted. But who wants to live in such a world? Not me. I am very sorry for the coming generations.
@@ycanimedia9320 Hypersonic = speedy attempts at destroying the planet. Fortunately, after our species is reduced to starting from scratch (if it survives) the earth will heal.
As someone who is watching this from my home in New Zealand, I'm not sure if I'm comforted or depressed listening to this. If this ever happened, we certainly wouldn't be tending our crops with any sense of joy.
Think what a beautiful world you could create though. After you grieve, build something great
I wonder if a nuclear weapon could trigger some nasty earthquakes to lands far off
We don’t have any crops here. It’s all meat and dairy, and off the charts expensive
We would have to fight off the waves of survivors from other countries… so I suspect we would die by conventional weapons…
Did you think it would be cool to have seen Steven in the street in New Zealand and just say "Kia ora Steven" and keep on walking? That was my main thought during this postcast. The rest was mostly about nuclear war - too boring to pay attention to (yes, before anyone says it, I am a totally terrible person) 😂😂
Added this to my list of favorite interviews from you. What an insightful story!.Annie's voice is so soothing and comforting, that it's easy to grasp the profundity of the story she's sharing. 💓
This was an extraordinary conversation. Thank you so much for the value you bring! I will be reading her books soon.
Her calmness and clarity of thought and expression is exceptional. I will attend any class she teaches..
What is remarkable is that she slants her narrative against Republicans by mentioning Nixon and Trump as likely risks. And she fails to mention Clinton losing the nuclear codes in a sportcoat that was send to the cleaners.
I felt her calmness and recognized her incredible clarity of thought. She absolutely knows what she’s saying and yet some of those things are horrible and tragic. At least I’m not ruminating about the topic. I learned so much from this interview…success again☺️
I believe disarmament all nuclear weapons and elements and forbidden who have nuclear weapons!
If you have nothing to say, it's easy to be calm and clear. Everything she said is common knowledge. The masses confuse a pleasant manner w/ education.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
And if you read this verse from the Geneva Bible it adds, the worldly governors, those princes of darkness
The bible also states that God will step in before mankind destroys the earth.
Correct translation says it's the archons
May God the Almighty protect us all. For the world is full of wickedness in high places. We are getting to the days when God may say, enough is enough you humans. Time's up !!!!
Is that you Kevin Coupland?
What an interesting person! I just had to mention that I believe "a lot less using brains, and a whole lot more heart" is whats needed in the world. Love from South Africa
The best interview I've listened to in years. Thankyou for this quality and important work!
'Was he happy'. I think the older you are, 'happy' becomes less important than deep contentment. Growing old is about appreciating the reasons and solutions chosen over a lifetime. Trying to live well, accepting that mistakes are made, that you're not always in control and do the best you can in the circumstances. There are a lot of past decisions that you have to be comfortable with.
I’ve been watching this show for a while, and haven’t been as transfixed, empathetic, and emotionally connected as this episode. Partly because seeing Steve be lost for words, and seeing Annie Jacobson be near tears - shows the humanity that’s so deeply needed at this time. My current work is on fallen civilisations, including the possibilities of our own downfall. I hope this episode is watched far and wide, and people face the realities of power and of turning away. Thank you for you work Steve Bartlett. Please do more like this.
You study fallen societies?
Would love to hear you share more about what you major in to. What an interesting field of study.
yea i also went looking for answers in the past.. who were the sea people... most importantly tho is who disabled the pyrimyds ... the incription left in the bosnian pyrymid says something about a stargate ... but still who and why ... our answers for now are likly in the past
I can't find a fascinating youtube series I watched 10 or so years ago from 2 british researchers that looked into the markers of civilisations that decline. I can't remember all the details but I remember 2 markers seems to be - family dynamics changing - where children's needs take priority over parents, and birth rates
@@plakey2001same, if you do find it please drop the link here 🙏🏽
She speaks so eloquently, even though this is a hard topic. Love her being. Thank you for this discussion. I have learnt so much.
We learned very little in fact. Don't confuse a pleasant manner with education. Everything she said is common knowledge.
This was an excellent interview, the laying out of points without blame, driving fear makes it easy to take in. I have admiration for her, the ability to reflect, listen and report with such clearness is a gift
One of the most compelling interviews to date I have had the opportunity to consume. Thank you Annie for the immense amount of time you have devoted to the many works in your career.
Fantastic interview. As a veteran, I am extremely impressed with the quality, honesty and depth of both dialogues in this conversation, especially given the subject matter. I wish that everyone could, and would, take time to listen to this episode. Also, I sincerely hope that Mrs. Jacobson’s book would become a quick “Best Seller”. …As an NBCS (Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Defense Specialist) with the Army, this subject, from a twenty twenty hind-sight, for me, is one in which I believe it is absolutely critically crucial that the truth be absolutely told to the world. I admire the courage of both of you for your rolls in doing just that. Thank you both very much. ❤️
I hope someday they interview you so we too can glean from your knowledge and experiences.
@@DerpyFaeryis he a chess veteran?
Suuuure.
🤣👋🏻
Well you didn't stop bio weapons being injected into peoples arms so nil points there.Most Vets would be fighting thier own Gov's by now, if they had brains & were actually patriots.
Thank you Steven and Annie for sharing this interview. It was much appreciated!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Excellent broadcast. This will keep me thinking about this subject for quite a while. The human/ emotional/cognitive aspects of this. Thank you 🙏🏽
What a way to start the week
😂😢
It starts and ends? Where?
as long as we don't end the week like this
Im so pleased you mentioned 'the day after" Im in Australia - and we watched it in a school assembly as a compulsory thing in 1983. We walked out of the assembly hall either in tears or stunned silence and the school population was in shock for weeks. It has stayed with me, and my high schoolmates to this date.
Hight schoolmates?????
Thet SHOULD have made you watch "Threads." That's what REAL nuclear war would be like. The Day After is for pussies.
Exactly the same experience for me, but in South Africa
@@3TNT3 it was a typographical error
Yes, I also watched it in the 80s as a young teenager. I was petrified and it bothered me for many years after.
Interesting topic, I love her American accent & she has a beautiful voice, I can just sit & listen to her for hours❤
What a phenomenal interview! So touching She’s so soothing to listen to isn’t she
Annie is someone very special. Incredibly balanced, thoughtful, intelligent and fluent with her words. I'm very impressed. ❤
Conventional narrative, journo politics bleeding through, very thin content.
Still....5 billion dead in 70 minutes is just dumb.
Yes, totally agree. Her voice very calm.
I cant stand her voice.
@@deenapalmer9258 she could read anything to send me to sleep - great voice lol
I have remembered seeing this movie in the 1980’s “ The Day After “ now I’m in my 57 years old Ever since as the young age, my mind has changed. I would recommend people to go and see this movie, if is still around, they will understand better what Mrs. Annie Jacabsen talking about and their souls would understand better….😢😢😢
That film terrified me. It is on you tube
Pretty good movie but real thing would be even worst. Lots of accurate details like car batteries not working when thermo-nuclear warhead goes off but in reality if you were that close so you can see it aftershock would blow you away with a truck full of cement.
55 and I grew up very aware of how f*cked we'd be if there was a full-scale nuclear war. I'm kind of surprised that so many people don't seem to already know all of this information.
I grew up near the silos in that movie. My hometown. Nightmares for years and decades after watching.
It’s very concerning that men of power may not have the capacity for empathy and compassion that it takes to assist mankind in surviving. The enormity of these weapons and their existence has always been a sign of man’s mental incapacity. If man had a capacity of knowledge for life and our beautiful world that exists for us, these weapons would never even be considered. Humans have become so ill of mind and needs a great healing.
Bought her book after watching this. These past guests have been so much more powerful and interesting (including Robert Lustig in the newest video). They deliver an impactful message. Congratulations on the direction of this channel! I've been a subscriber for a little while, no regrets.
You weren’t kidding when you said you’d start expanding and leveling up on the guests you’d have. This conversation was incredible, massively informative and important to hear. Even with all of this info, I’m still optimistic our species will find our way out of all of this nuclear threat mess intact. Thanks for the convo ❤️
I've been to NZ in Winter - I'll take my chances up here in the Tropics. The sunsets are already spectacular - the final sunset will be epic.
We survive just fine here in the deep south of NZ, will be better off than most.
This is exceptional, exhilarating and chilling of all podcast i have ever watch. God bless humanity!
Thanks for interviewing Annie and giving her space to share what she has discovered. I'm one of those people who watch all the time but have not subscribed. I've liked and subscribed. Thanks for upping it. You are an excellent interviewer.
Wow, what an articulate, concise and thoroughly interesting person. Plus this was the most enthralling interview you've conducted. I'm dyslexic and I've only read 3 books, none for over 25 years. I'm making her book my 4th.
We need this conversation, and thank you.
This should have been titled nuclear war for dummies the level of conversation was simplistic in the extreme
We need this conversation... really, why? I mean, what did she say that you didn't already know? Not to mention the fact that none of us "ordinary citizens," civilians, can do anything about it, we have ZERO influence or control over the way a nuclear war would unfold, ZERO. And more than that, what did she actually say beyond that if an all-out nuclear war breaks out, we're basically all f'cked and are going to die and there's not a damn thing any of us can do about it?
The left is a Societal Cancer
@@mydogskips2. Prevention, prevention, prevention. The only thing we American civilians can do is Never elect a hot headed psychotic narcissist who spends all of his time shouting and tweeting Hatred towards everything and everybody.
Thank you so much. This podcast is mind-blowingly good. Thank you so much.
I’ve read a couple of her books. She’s always an interesting interview and her books are fascinating.
This interview should win an award.
Yeah for more "Get Trump" propaganda. No mention of Biden.
😂
Award it one then, don't wait for someone else to do it.Your the one that thinks it should win one after all, right?
@@yyxy.oncesaid lol WHAT???
NUCLEAR IS ABURSD, GOD WON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
I’m so impressed by this woman’s sense of humanity and integrity. This was an excellent interview. Thank you for sharing.
Great subject. Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed 🙏
She gets wretched ecstatic joy ruminating on the macabre of massive carnage. This witch is beyond sick.
I grew up in the Virginia suburbs of Washington DC in the 1950s. We were prepared for this, and did regular drills in school. We just got under our desks and put our hands over our heads, We had this covered. Now I live in Australia. I will sleep better tonight.
Thanks Steven and Annie, after all my you tube surfing for decades, this must be the top interview I have had the privilege to experience. Good to know there are still amazing, honest people with so much integrity like both of you. Positive and hopeful❤
Her voice takes away the utter terror of it. I almost wish she would utter world ending prophecies in my ear as I fall asleep at night lol
You got the Bible for that!
Lol, innit. 'Anne, please sit beside me and list the symptoms of Ebola as I drift off.'
@@Peekaboo-Kitty I’m a Christian so that doesn’t work for me lol but if you were to say the Quran then yea

I have seen an interview with this brilliant investigative journalist. I am so glad you had it on your show. It is a frightening subject, but so important so so very important. Planet depends on it so glad to be a subscriber. Millicent
She has a beautiful voice.
It's manly if your ask me.
One of the best podcast so far… I didn’t know how much I dint know until listening to it. A true eye opener …
Yep extreme fear mongering is so enlightening.
@@debshipman4697 Tour Hiroshima, Nagasaki and various testing sites you may find all this as reality or just fear mongering.
After watching this I’m so happy I’m moving to New Zealand this month. She has such a calming and soothing voice delivering some truly scary shit.
I love her voice. Her content is scary.
Yeah...I've never took such joy at such a beautiful calm voice telling me we are all F-ed 😂
Maybe she should be recruited to re-record the "This country has been attacked with nuclear weapons" message.
New Zealand ? Wow one of the most woke globalist countries! 😳
Take me 🙏 I'll work for food and shelter
An incredible conversation!
Real talk! Great exchange on the subject matter. Thank you for sharing and informing!❤😮
Funny how right at the end Stephen says people will avoid watching this podcast because of the subject matter, when I was thinking it is one of, if not the best podcasts I have had the pleasure of watching. Thank you DOAC team brilliant work.
Perfect video for a Monday morning 💀
🧨⏰
😂
Fascinating interview. Thank you for this
Watching this interview all the way in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I have learn a lot
Location, location, location… on a serious note focus on the timeline you want to create. Live your life in joy and be kind to others ❤ 🙏🏾
These countries who no have conflict and a bombs are less danger. But nuclear wind and nuclear winter take these countries to catastrophy after 3 or 6 months.
Nonsense
Man his questions couldn't have been any better. Great podcast. She's so pointed in her words too. She captures your listening so well. 2 hours feels like 20 mins. This is a must watch.
As a member of the military I think quite a bit about this. It was very informative.
Fantastic interview and video! Thank you so much. ill be ordering her book after work.
Thumbnail: "If nuclear war starts, go to this country!" LoL, if it starts, it will be over in a few sec, and no one needs "to go" to any country, we'll all be gone already...
Yes if it starts it is to late to go anywhere and you will most likely have to stay where you are for a long time ...
How do you “go” to any country oceans apart given the dire circumstances anticipated? Is that a cruel joke?
We’ll be stuck in place, but we won’t all be “gone.” Research the facts over the propaganda.
As someone in the US who is solidly GenX and was subjected to a Cold War education, I remember in my lifetime having that sword dangling over everyone’s heads, that current of societal anxiety running under everything, and I remember the optimism of the 90s when it seemed like all that was going away. Surprise! Things have gotten even less stable and more dangerous, and leaders are actually talking about using nuclear weapons instead of repeating the mutually assured destruction line. WTAF.
Yep. Same. This video is obviously mostly for the millennial crowd that missed out on the nuclear education and history that was hammered into our heads as kids.
I was thinking the same. We have 2 whole generations of people who don't know the implications of their use. This is terrifying.
As a fellow Gen-Xer, I have a diary I kept in the 6th grade in which I would estimate how many days were left before the world ended. In the 4th grade (1979), our teacher asked us to draw a picture of the year 2000, and many of us drew post-apocalyptic scenes. Today, people aren't scared enough. We should keep trying every day for peace talks with Russia over Ukraine, even though Putin is nuts and terrible.
Right?!
Same 😢 hope it’s quick. Citizens are unstable and leaders are worse. We’re screwed 🤔🤷♀️🤦♀️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She's incredible and thanks for this interview that's a real eye opener.
Thank you for this extremely fascinating episode. It’s definitely scary to think about the possibility but it’s also important to confront realities so thank you again for that!
I've got to say, the smoke coming out of that cup combined with the sound of her voice is so calming and chilling.
Steam.
Stop worrying. All these writers are trying everything to sell a book. I'm seeing through all this. You should too.
@@theflacawtf does that even mean 😂
@@theflaca so therefore we should ignore all books ? 😂 honestly mate, give your head a good wobble
@@theflaca agreed
I have so much respect for your work. You are the best interviewer. You ask thoughtful questions, don’t talk too much, or talk over/interrupt your guests. This is the most profound discussion I’ve heard in ages. So much info to process. I have one ethics question about dropping the bombs on Japan that wasn’t addressed. Should we not use every weapon available to stop the aggressive advancement of evil forces in the world as quickly as possible? This couldn’t be a more timely subject, as we consider the character and integrity and ideology of the leaders of the world. Thank you. Excellent history lessons!
Japan had already surrendered. The president had that surrender and decided to send the bomb as an experiment, a curiosity, a stance of low life pride. Research it is true. No one wins in war.
@@yfa6244 - Please provide your sources saying that Japan had already surrendered. This is completely contradictory to everything I've ever been able to find on the subject, and if you're are going to make such claims be prepared to back them up. Until you provide credible sources I'm afraid I'll have to file this under 'the internet crazies strike again'.
I'm almost speechless as I am astonished hearing all this information. She's a wonderful smart woman and a topnotch story teller. Quite odd feeling mesmerized by her soothing voice but at the same time spooked by the darkness of the story. I'm just perplexed thinking that she mostly gave out information freely for the enemy to use against.
Are you honestly interested in this topic and you found her information new and do you really think our enemies don't know everything she said are you kidding me.
What a fabulous interview!!!
Annie Jacabsen is still a scream, love her work. been reading and listening to her for years and its nice to see she is still faithful/passionate to her "beat". Thanks Steven for this...
Superb, I've watched all of Annie's podcast appearances since the release of her book and this was by far the most extensive. Well done.
Love your podcasts - fantastic content!
Magnificent interview. One of the best 👌⭐️
Not relating to the topic this woman has absolutly magnetising voice so relaxing❤
She is likely 30 years older than me and I would still love to date her 😇
You need to translate this book into Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Korean Languages. These peoples must know and understand this problem
Like Kim is going to let his people read it, sure 👍 Also, they don’t speak Arabic in Iran nor in Pakistan
They do. That is why the USA is the only country using them as an attack threat to the world. Every other countries policy is to only use as defense against attack.
@@peteseed5383 Are you serious? Russians discuss destroying London, Paris and Washington regularly on their TV. Former president Medvedev almost doesn’t do anything else than issuing nuclear threats. And Putin chips in too now and then.
The who really need to understand is the US and Israel. They are the one who want WW3 so that Israel can get what they want. Fullstop.
But what about the country that denies having a "Weapon of Terror", like Israel????
thank you for talk about this hard subject ,I am glad to listen what you have to say . I did not know you , and congraduation for your books.
Just found you and looked over the videoes. Quite interesting topics! I subscribed!🎉😊
Her voice is soooo soothing. I almost fall asleep 😅
lol, falling asleep to the soothing sounds of nuclear warfare…..
She's got the late night radio host voice, like Chris Voss. Should read fairytales for kids or something.
I fell asleep listening to her. My bf fingered me a si was still sleeping
but kind of spooky at the same time...
Her voice is beautiful!!!
Dear Steven, the work you do on this podcast has changed my life in the best way. More podcasts about major events in history, present and future would be wonderful and enlightening. Thank you for the wonderful work!
Great interview and I have already ordered the book and can't wait until it comes. I also really loved her final answer and reminded me so much of how we think the worst when someone doesn't respond to us and it's a reminder that something might be going on in their lives more important than me.
Horrifying yet informative. Thank you 🙏
I do love listening to this woman talk. She has thay voice that is so nice to listen to you could for hours.
0:05 doesn't she sound like sarah connor in the opening of T2? fits.
Soft spoken, seemingly well studied. I hear a liar trying to sell books.
Like that bar tender that just smoked two packs of Marlboro
Enjoy your life it goes quicker than you think
What an amazing lady and very interesting discussion.
Wow. What an amazing topic. Thanks.❤
I know this topic is serious but this ladies soothing voice keeps helping me drift off to sleep
I just got a nap and got back up with my headphones on.😅
I fell asleep too😂
me either 😂
😂😂😂😂
losing the will to live listening to her
As a child of the 60's with a father who was a Vulcan bomber pilot sitting on the runway ready to go during Cuba, I have always been interested in this and I'm glad that people are becoming aware again. Listening to it now it's in some ways back where we were then in terms of awareness. But the processes and controls have held up over the years and we are still here......
Are you a child of the Viaje del amor protagonist? My respect to your father, you and your family.
She is an exceptional advocate for the abolition of nuclear weapons - and she does have a heart. And she has incredible humility.
