Mr. President! Nuclear missiles will strike our country in 14 minutes. I know it’s your first day in office so I’m going to walk you through it, but you’re the only one who can authorize our nuclear retaliation in response and you’ve only got a few minutes to make a decision!

  • This was very informative and well done and I hated every single second of it.
  • @deltalord6969
    The fact that the entire explanation is said in extreme haste about only 5 minutes really amplifies the dread of the entire situation and how things can go south really quickly
  • 1:21 I like the detail that when the President peers to his left into the bunker, the general's voice pans to our right ear for a moment with headphones. 4:36 Omg and the fact the, because the general's uniforms is green, his uniform is momentarily keyed out by the greenscreen before being fixed.
  • It’s amazing/terrifying how the world is in a soft yet constant state of “on the brink of total annihilation” just because like 7 guys can’t get along.
  • @corrupt1user
    Vasili Arkhipov wasn't just an officer, but the head of the fleet; he had achieved fame previously during the "widomaker" incident.
  • The funny thing about the nuclear submarine during the Cuban missile crisis was that the system only needed 2 officers to authorize and both the captain and 1st mate agreed to do it but at that time there just happened to be a higher-ranking officer there at the moment and his vote overide the 1st mate so it didn't go through. absolutely pure coincidence and we were so lucky to have that man aboard at that time.
  • Hearing the Kurzgesagt narrator's voice coming from a panicked military officer is an experience
  • @sp_ce.
    The incredible part is that Vasili Arkhipov wasn’t even supposed to be on that submarine. I believe he had a choice and the fact he chose that one was a sheer coincidence, and one that may have saved millions or even billions.
  • @Desperajoe
    Man, I am actually in VR and saw you guys uploaded 2 minutes ago. I hit the video up IN VR. And the start was so literally so bizarre. This couldn't have been better, lmao
  • This is definitely the best you tube video I’ve seen. The production, the tension and the explanation is perfect, im really impressed. I’ve already seen it at least 10 times and get impressed all of them!
  • @GCWFilms
    This video got to me! The pacing, the dialogue and the animation are insane! This 9 minute video made me feel more than most of the feature length films I’ve watched in my life. That’s why I love this channel!
  • @MindinViolet
    I find it both horrifying and moving to consider that we are only alive today because of a few good, sane people who made the decision in an intense situation not to act, not to launch.
  • @TheJerbol
    The Vasili Arkhipov story is fascinating, a great wiki read for any interested. He was actually the regional commander of multiple submarines iirc, and because of this fact whatever submarine he was serving on was the only one that needed 3 officers to sign off on, all the others only required 2. The circumstances are insane
  • @jhwblender
    Wow!! This was amazingly done. Immediately sucked me to the story. Love this animation style. Would love to see more of it.
  • @egames910
    Perfectly made video with great attention to detail. Quick and straight to the point, used fake countries to remove any controversy, and small details like the general's uniform disappearing and reappearing when they have a visual representation like it was actually a green screen. (4:42)
  • @anothersquid
    I was in the air force in the '80s. This stuff was taken very seriously. We had regular nuke drills as part of the training and evaluation plan.
  • @torch_k8110
    I’m happy that you mentioned Vasili Arkhipov! He’s such an unknown the the average person. It is a miracle because the Soviets usually only had 2 people to make that decision, but because he was a high ranking officer the sub he was on needed his permission.
  • @za1pp
    the best videos ever. perfect content animation and music
