Are we at DEFCON 3?

I can’t vouch for the source, but just thought I’d pass this along. I just got wind, believe it or not, that the United States has reportedly raised its nuclear alert status to DEFCON 3. This has happened several times in the past including:

The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)…

I can’t vouch for the source, but just thought I’d pass this along. I just got wind, believe it or not, that the United States has reportedly raised its nuclear alert status to DEFCON 3. This has happened several times in the past including:

The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)

October 1969 Secret Alert (as part of a response to rising tensions during the Cold War)

September 11, 2001 (in the immediate wake of 9/11)

Regarding today’s supposed alert, it seems that Russia has put a top-grade 170m nuclear submarine equipped with 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles with 10 MIRVs each at the disposal of Iran.

Now that Iran has allegedly hit Dimona, Israel’s nuclear facility, with a missile using a delivery vehicle designed for nukes, Iran’s access to this Russian submarine has apparently been deemed troubling. Unfortunately, its design is so stealthy and advanced that the odds of finding it hiding in undersea topography are very slim.

Exercise caution. Before anyone jumps on my back and subjects me to further throttling, this information has not been vetted. But then again, American citizens no longer have access to verifiably uncontrolled news sources, so no one can really vouch for the reliability of anything one hears any more.

I’ll merely say that the news outlet providing this information has not previously seemed unreliable to me. As the mainstream media sometimes clam up about sensitive developments on orders from HQ, I just figured I’d mention it so that others can check it out at their own discretion.
