The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and it's Dangerous Legacy by David E. Hoffman
In The Dead Hand, David Hoffman has uncovered some of the Cold War’s most persistent and consequential secrets–plans and systems designed to wage war with weapons of mass destruction, and even to place the prospective end of civilization on a kind of automatic pilot. The book’s revelations are shocking; its narrative is intelligent and gripping. This is a tour de force of investigative history.
Some may think the cold war is over. It may be on paper but Look at Russia and Iran today. I wonder if Iran has a secret nuclear program that only now is being leaked out. Update: Israel's Mossad verified Iran has continued to research nuclear weapons and the truth is now out in public.
Presdient Trump tore up the bad deal. Now lets see what happens next.

Anyone that thinks that the Obama / Kerry Iranian Appeasement was a good deal should NOT be allowed to operate a Motor Vehicle of have access to an ATM card. Further, to think that the Iranians do not have a secret nuclear program is delusional. Trump should publish the details of the Iranian Appeasement ASAP and lets let Obama defend it again.

This I discussed on the phone a few minutes ago. You helped me and that retired Colonel COL John Cole That story about the Fort Benning training academy you helped me about 2 days ago I also disucssed with Col. COLE disucssed The Dead Hand book he reads all the time. There was another story on here this morning by 1stSgt Glenn Brackin related to Iran warning us not to reveal the details makes me think we were given the shaft.

FYI in the heat of the Cold War, a ship of Dodge commercial vehicles was bound for Iran when the Iranian revolution took place LTC (Join to see). The vessel was at sea and a deal was made to limit the sale of those cars to deployed service members in Europe. I had just been assigned to 1/52 Infantry battalion in Bamberg when I earned of the deal. I took a train to Bremerhaven and picked up a Dodge Omni sans catalytic converter with one years worth of car insurance. I drove from Bremerhaven to Bamberg, Germany along the Autobahn.
The Mullahs took over Iran and did many evil things. However, I am thankful for that Dodge Omni which could go over 100 MPH on the Autobahns back in the day.

Interesting that you benefited from the unintended consequences of the Iranian Revolution and the Israelis got the F-16 jets that were supposed to be sold to them as well and he's Jets were prepaid which eventually bombed Iraq reactor in 1981 and you got a Dodge Omni export for the cheap!

The dodge Omni wasn’t a bad car. Rather ahead of the curve sleekness and aerodynamics at the time.
I prefer my autobahn car but I still have a 77 Monaco in mothballs.

LTC (Join to see) - That's not bad at all. Same weight as the BMW. I think it could make that mileage. With those twin water cooled turbos it's like the car requires almost no power at all at a reasonable speed. If I could just get myself to drive at a reasonable speed for very long I could give you a good number.
I have been deep in the bowels of that ship.
Not my idea of a fun place to be in a battle. Not that anyplace in particular is a good place in a battle.
