"The DEFCON Warning System" defconwarningsystem
This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 7 P.M., Tuesday,
August 1st, 2017. Condition code is Green. DEFCON 5.
There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United
States at this time.
North Korea continues to advance its nuclear program, with test launches
indicating the country now has the capability to strike almost anywhere
in the continental United States, though most experts do not believe
they currently have the tech for their missiles to survive the heat of
re-entry. The DEFCON Warning System cautions that any type of nuclear
strike does not have to be accurate to be effective, and urges
responsible parties to take very seriously the threat North Korea has
right now, let alone what threat they pose in the near future when their
nuclear program is more fully developed. It is prudent to remind all
that missiles are not the only method of delivery for nuclear weapons.
North Korea has announced plans to accelerate bolstering of its nuclear
arsenal, and there are indications that the country has produced more
plutonium than previously thought. South Korea has proposed military
talks with the North, though there has been no response to the offer.
Continued contention and infighting among various parties in the Untied
States government has caused a significant crippling of its foreign
policy and the ability to project a show of strength to potential
aggressors. There are those in the government who are actively working
against the interests of the United States in order to further political
goals, and this trend is expected to continue rather than abate over the
next couple years.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force is planning to grow its space forces and
capabilities, accepting that there will be warfare in space. The United
States has approved arms sales to Taiwan, which China opposes. The U.S.,
strangely, has said that Iran is upholding terms of nuclear deal, though
it is looking for ways to impose further sanctions on the country. It is
unlikely that other countries will follow, and this will lead to Iran
further developing its own nuclear weapons.
China has launched its most modern domestically produced destroyer yet,
marking an advancement in China’s military technology. Russia and China
hold joint naval drills in the Baltic Sea, a significant sign of
military cooperation against NATO, while the United States conducts more
Freedom of Navigation maneuvers in South China Sea, including sending
B-1B Bombers to the area.
The Philippines moves closer to China with weapons assistance and
economic ties, and there is a growing distrust of the United States in
the Philippines. There is a movement of forces between China and India
along the disputed area of Sikkim. We are continuing to watching the
development of this situation.
Russia is to send 100,000 troops to the eastern edge of NATO territory
for drill this summer. In Syria, after the United States has shot down a
Syrian fighter, Russia says it will target U.S. aircraft in the area.
The DEFCON Warning System is a private intelligence organization which
has monitored and assessed nuclear threats against the United States by
national entities for over 33 years. 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.

and important information can be found on the DEFCON Warning System
message board and on the DEFCON Twitter feed DEFCONWSAlerts. You may
also subscribe to the You Tube channel DEFCON Warning System and the
DEFCON Warning System mailing list. Note that Twitter and You Tube
updates may be subject to delays. The next scheduled update is 7 P.M.
Pacific Time, September 1st, 2017. Additional updates will be made as
the situation warrants, with more frequent updates at higher alert levels.
This concludes this broadcast of the DEFCON Warning System.
