What Would It Mean to 'Absorb' a Nuclear Attack?

This podcast discusses the presence of nuclear missiles on a reservation in North Dakota and the lack of information provided by the Air Force to the tribe. It explores the role of ICBMs in deterring nuclear attacks, the concept of 'absorbing' an attack, and the risks faced by indigenous communities living near the silos. The discussion includes the consequences of a nuclear attack on well-known locations, the military's desensitization, and the tribe's potential actions to remove the silos. It also highlights the potential removal of silos and the need for new concepts for deterrence.
