Very Bad advice. Multiple access means multiple targets by foreign enemies. The POTUS remains the most secured individual. A congressman is an easy target to the Russians, N-Koreans and the communist china spies.

Na dem gang.
The same ones that left Syria overrun by ISIS.
The same ones that armed Rebels in Lybya,to overrun Gaddafi.
The same ones that refused ,Naija help during BH bombing days.

The same ones want to share power of the president.
Don't forget Nanci Pelosi was in Congress.
Barack Obama was president.
Joe Biden was vice.
Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.
One thing I know for certain,terrorism flexes when Democrats are in power.
Don't stress me,google it.

There are actually nothing like nuclear weapons it is all a hoax, no nuclear bomb was ever dropped on Japan. Nuclear bombs are as real as a unicorn, falls under the same category as the mythical moon landing. But we are in the season of revelations and this lies will be exposed once and for all.

Which multilayer security? If the POTUS does such, then it becomes pure politics. Which is more threat. If after 4yrs of frustration, Trump didn't deploy one even in the midst of an IRAQ or IRAN rubbish , then what's more safe than that. You don't just fire a nuclear bomb! When its not an alien attack.

This only implies two things, its either they don't trust the Biden Presidency to be firm, objective and decisive. The feel he can be manipulated and thereby push in doing such thing like launching a nuclear strike.

The other thing is for us to look at the bigger picture such as the Presidency being controlled by some people. If the President is to share such such powers, then he as well remove him or her self from such role and let the congress decide. After all, democrats dominates the congress. It also undermines the Presidency in every way. In other words, Biden is not fit to handle Nuclear heads. If they ask me sef, they can as well make Nancy Pancy Pelosi the President.


Americans are in for a big surprise
lol.. this is not about Trump or Biden’s administration. It’s about planning for uncertain event. Who says a more unstable individual, even than Trump, will not become POTUS one day. That Trump didn’t go the extent doesn’t mean it cannot open.

The idea stated is that nuclear weapon can only be deployed only when POTUS and some member of the congress agree, and not just the discretion of one person, which can alter the shape of the world.

The more reason they have to keep a fair minded person as president always. If all these years, no present has fired nuclear missile for no reason, then there is no reason to change statusquo, and from what I know, the presidency can't just turn keys to fire any missile. The keys are not with him only. It can never happen, in fact changing the statusquo poses more risk cos what ever politics influences, the outcome is not always favourable

Nobody has gone through how the US launches it s missiles.
Do you think, the president can borrow the keys of AF1, and just launch the missiles?

That also means if a Russian spy can compromise one of the signatories & gets his/her nation informed asap, Russia can nuke the US before the US can do anything about the compromised signatory.
Also an invalid excuse.

There are early warning systems to warn of a nuke.

If Russia launch nukes, America will get the alert.
And it is not like they can stop it anyway regardless of the situation.

You can't stop nukes. At least not all of them.

The next thing that will follow is a heavy nuclear counter attack on Russia from American ships and submarines patrolling the oceans.

America will find a way to override their existing protocols to launch their own attack.
Re: Joe Biden Urged To Renounce Sole Control Of US Nuclear Weapons by Yusufisraelj(m): 4:50pm On Jan 11, 2021
This defense secretary does not understand the devastating consequence of his deposition, to my knowledge looking at the declassified CIA papers on what must be in place for a president to launch a nuclear strike is clearly spelt out, Trump cannot just wake up and launch nuclear war heads, there are protocol's that warrants that.

Sharing that power with some selected group of congress to what end? The Congress that is always at lodger heads with the president in any country esp US, the vetting process of a president is more thorough than that of of a congress person, How can you be sure saboteur's won't be planted by an enemy country. Intelligent agencies plant spies for over 50 years in a country just to achieve a single goal.

This man needs to wake up pls. The power should remain solely with the president, except better and thorough protocols are in place to vet those Congress members.

This will be terrible from a strategic point of view. So what if there is dissent and the opponent's nukes are already in the air?

The president will be bickering with Congress?
You can't stop hundreds of nukes at the same time.

It won't change anything.

There would be enough time for America to launch their own counter attacks over the weeks and months after the president and congress has agreed.

Biden chosen to rule wasn't an accident, The powers that be wants to cripple America's spine. BIDEN lacks balls needed to rule and he's effeminate af, watch how women will full his cabinets and the VP will control him. Another plot is that he is there to make way for the VP after he dies to an undisclosed illness

This is the first agenda of Biden in office in the quote below��‍♂️

“Once in office, Biden should announce he would share authority to use nuclear weapons with a select group in Congress,” said Perry, who served under President Bill Clinton.

If this should happen!, The risk is far far deadly compare to the gains attach to it.

The number one reason why aggrieved countries like north Korea, Iran, China e.t.c are afraid and finding it hard to unleash terror on America soil is because of the sole control of nuclear weapons by the president, because they know he can retaliate within a twinkle of an eye!!,

Sharing the authority among selected congress group will trigger "politics-play" in the control.
For a clearer example, if a country or terrorist group should send a nuclear bomb to the USA soil, knowing fully well that the president will need to sit with the congress group before retaliating, which there's a high percentage that not everybody will agree to retaliation, because everybody will have a different view on the issue, and some members of the Congress group can be compromised! (I.e working for other countries or terrorist underground by making it impossible for retaliation, for political or selfish interest)..
The USA president will be worthless and powerless more than the banana republic president..

The president was voted-in by the people because they believe in him to protect and serve them with the country's military strength and resources in a case of terrorist threat, he has the responsibility to know when and when not to use the nuclear weapons at his own discretion!, That's part of his job...

Sharing that authority control will make USA soil bloody and chaotic.. because there will be several attacks on it citizens and facilities from aggrieved enemy countries and terrorist groups who have been looking for opportunities to invade the U.S. e.g (north Korea,Iran, China, Pakistan, al-qaeda, ISIS, talibans, e.t.c)..

The "main" reason why the president of the USA is still the most powerful and relevant in "power" is the sole authority over the nuclear weapons in the country.. sharing this authority will come with a luxurious risk that might end America!!.

It is not that straight forward. In a nuclear war, the opponent's nukes are targeting the other party's nukes - missile silos, airforce bases, navy yards, nuclear storage facilities, nuclear weapons production facilities, military garrisons and formations, critical national infrastructure assets etc. There will simply be nothing to retaliate with if you are caught napping. In the concept of Mutual Assured Destruction, the moment you discover that your opponent's nukes are in the air, you launch yours immediately to ensure that you deliver a proportional counter punch. Hope you grab now?

You can't possibly know where all the silos are located.
