This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Doesn't the UK have submarines that literally are supposed to fire nukes if they can't contact home base when they surface (which can be months between surfacing)?

I wonder if the US has the same. If so, yeah you can't kneecap that with hackers.

when a new prime minister comes in, they write a letter that contains their orders for if this happens, there were(?) three options:

  • Launch your nukes
  • Sail to the nearest allied nation and place yourself at their disposal (usa or australia)
  • Use your own discretion ("you're on your own lmao")

the letter is then sealed and placed in the sub commanders safe, to be opened only when it happens

Yep, they're part of the nuclear triad, which consists of land-based ICBMs, submarine-based missiles, and aircraft carrying nuclear bombs.
