Let’s talk about nuclear war, as well as the odd movie about nuclear war produced by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Following her subsequent visit to Hiroshima, President Donald Trump’s once-deceased Democrat DNI released a campaign-style film this week that discusses the risk and real-world consequences of nuclear weapons.
Right-leaning critics rubbed over Gabbard, some of whom confused her remarks with an previously ignorant apology for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although I didn’t hear anything like that, one of her accusers was Noah Rothman, who was one of several who said she had” all but endorsed ] Barack Obama’s revisionist and ahistorical account of the end of the Second World War.”
That doesn’t mean Gabbard’s movie wasn’t in the least bit strange.
Gabbard once asserted that our “political elite and warmongers” are “fonning a global nuclear war because they are confident that they will have access to radioactive shelters for themselves and their families that normal people won’t have access to.”
They still need to release at some point. Real life is not a” Fallout” episode.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La. ) No RINO wiggle,” She clearly needs to change her meds,” I think I’m in agreement.
I’m never the biggest supporter of Gabbard in terms of policy; she was oddly buddy-buddy with Bashar al-Assad in some ways and occasionally comes off as a Putin advocate. However, I fully comprehend Trump’s need, the country’s needed, and Gabbard’s ability to scuttle the D.C. intelligence community.  ,

None of that explains the public peculiarity on display here, though.
Strangely, Gabbard was not present when Trump met with his” best team” at Camp David this weekend to explore Iran and Gaza plan, which included” Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, chief of staff Susie Wiles, special envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA director John Ratcliffe, and other top authorities.”
Additionally, it’s unclear why the president’s DNI would create a campaign-style video.
Is she on her own accord or not, and is she on her way out? I won’t even pretend to know.  ,
Gabbard is correct in her assertion about the increased risk of a nuclear conflict, despite it’s fair to question her reasoning.
Today at RealClearDefense, Andrew Latham presents an eye-opening report on” the most dangerous phase of the nuclear age since its inception”. He warned that” the strategic architecture created during the Cold War, which was based on a relatively straightforward dyad of adversaries steeped in the logic of deterrence, no longer fits the world we live in.”
This is not Cold War 2.0, as I’ve been calling it, according to Latham. This is” something worse,” the statement goes.
And we’re not all that prepared.  ,
Our three legs, which include missile subs, land-based ICBMs, and heavy bombers, desperately need modernization. The three replacement programs are currently insufficient.

The Navy’s Columbia program’s first sub, the youngest of its 14 active ballistic missile subs, was commissioned in 1997, arriving at least 12 to 18 months late. Our aging Ohio-class SSBNs are in service now. The Air Force’s Sentinel replacement for our Minuteman III ICBMs, which went into service in 1970! is a mess in heaven.
The only positive aspect is the B-21 Raider stealth bomber from the Air Force, which will take the place of the B-1 and B-2 in ten or two years. Although COVID and inflation caused some issues, the program is largely on-time and on budget. The Air Force will be fortunate to receive a third of the estimated 300-400 Raiders required to maintain a veritable deterrent against two significant adversaries.  ,
However, as Latham put it,” North Korea has demonstrated operational ICBMs, tested submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and publicly declared its readiness to use nuclear weapons preemptively,” while” Iran continues to enrich uranium to close to weapons-grade levels, edging ever closer to a breakout scenario that could break the regional balance.”
The former virtual NATO/Warsaw Pact duopoly is no longer practicable. America is experiencing a “unipolar moment.” As Gabbard warned, our deterrent becomes less effective as a result of our current situation, which is a high-risk environment populated by increasingly aggressive rivals.

Finally, watch Gabbard’s video to decide your own course of action.
I recently went to Hiroshima, and I witnessed the unfathomable horror wrought by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. What I saw, the tales I heard, and the lingering sadness will stay with me forever. pic. twitter.com/TmxmxiGwnV— Tulsi Gabbard� � (@TulsiGabbard ) June 10, 2025
