DEFCON issues a yellow warning amidst tensions between US and Russia

http://defconwarningsystem.com/?p=185

This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 8 P.M., Thursday, October 13th, 2016. Condition code is Yellow. DEFCON 3.

There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United States at this time, however the situation is considered fluid and can change rapidly.

Tensions between Russia and the United States have reached levels beyond the cold war in the recent week.

The situation between Russia and the United States is extremely fluid at the moment. In all likelihood as dynamic as at times during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Mainstream media has taken a very serious tone concerning the change from diplomatic to military options between NATO and Russia. CNN stated, “It’s not a new Cold War. It’s not even a deep chill. It’s an outright conflict.” On October 10th Former Soviet Premier Gorbachev is quoted as saying, “I think the world has reached a dangerous point.”

There are signs of a potential growing large scale conflict in nearly every geopolitical hotspot including Syria, Yemen, Ukraine, and the Philippines. Syria is seen as one of the trigger points to the renewed tensions between the United States and Russia. The United States has also accused Russia of a cyberattack and meddling with the US Presidential Election. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest promised on Tuesday that the U.S. would deliver a “proportional” response to Russia’s alleged hacking of American computer systems. The US and Britain are also expected to weigh into Syrian military options on Friday. This could increase tensions between the two superpowers to a greater extent.

Moreover, Houthi rebels on the South Coast of Yemen fired one anti-ship missile at the U.S.S. Mason on Sunday, and another on Wednesday. The Pentagon responded by firing 5 TLAM missiles at radar stations inside Yemen. Around this same time, Iran dispatched a fleet of ships to the area. The U.S.S. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group has also been dispatched to the area.

At this time, the DEFCON Warning System feels that an increase to DEFCON 3 would be a prudent move. The situation is currently fluid with diplomatic ties strained and military threats coming from both sides. Russian media is reportedly telling its citizens to prepare for nuclear war. Russia has recently conducted civil defense drills and completed inspections of underground areas to house government officials and some civilians in the event of nuclear war. This is a very sensitive situation which has the potential to spiral out of control. It is recommended that all citizens learn the steps to be taken in the event of nuclear war. We will continue to bring updated information as we receive it.

The DEFCON Warning System is an analytical reporting organization which focuses on nuclear threats against the United States and offers an alert code to the public based on current events. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack.

If this had been an actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. Official news sources will have radiation readings for your area.

This concludes this broadcast of the DEFCON Warning System.

So apparently there's possibility of nuclear war, and the Russian media is telling people to prepare for it. Make of that as you will.

really puts things into perspective

The only ones prepared are the Swiss for such an event.

Why isnt the news reporting it

Oh.

Why isnt the news reporting it

People would panic.

Wolverines!

Why isnt the news reporting it

too busy bashing trump

Why isnt the news reporting it

Because Hillary seems to keep pushing for a war with Russia, but reporting this might make her look bad

So why are we trusting the word of some random website that would in no way have access to the actual DEFCON levels which are kept under wraps by the government unless it feels it necessary to disclose otherwise to the public?

You guys act like nuclear war would be a thing and that modern Russia is more rogue than the Soviet Union. They're not. Nuclear war ensures the side who launches it, loses, and even then, the US would just launch them right back. They could even come into direct conflict and probably not launch them unless the homeland was threatened, and NEITHER side wants to invade the other lol. No point whatsoever.

Nothing will come of this.

Am I the only one who kind of wants a nuclear war to happen, just for the lulz?

YouTube

Definitely not official, this is the channel of the website. 

This is fake fyi

To be fair, they clarify this isn't official. They just analyze the situation and say what they think the level should be. 

I hope undercover Russians don't shoot up one of their own airports and blame America for it

No, it'd happen the opposite way.

Russia is not backing out of Syria even at the threat of nuclear war. Hillary could do it and launch nuclear war.

No, it'd happen the opposite way.

That is what they do if Hillary is in charge.

Russia is a injured animal backed into a corner right now. Their economy is tanking, the people are losing hope, lashing out and causing a huge conflict would be irrational but so would many decisions made by fearful people at the time.
