The United Nations is warning of a "terrible escalation" in Sudan, where civil war has raged for more than two years.
More than 150,000 people have been killed since the violence began, with hundreds of thousands more dead due to malnutrition.
Redmond Shannon reports on the fears of mass atrocities in El Fasher, where paramilitary forces have captured the last army stronghold in Sudan's Darfur region.
Soon after the ICBM is detected over the Pacific — who fired and why remains a mystery for the film’s runtime — Army personnel at Fort Greely, Alaska, fire two ground-based interceptors to take it out. One fails to fire while the other misses, leaving the United States with only minutes until impact and no way to stop the missile. That narrative choice is a major point of contention for the Department of Defense.
“The fictional interceptors in the movie miss their target,” the memo complains. It goes on to note that interceptors have been shown to be 100% accurate in tests for several years. It also disputes the $50 billion price tag given in the movie for their costs.
This movie was a disappointment. The ciriticism has it right that there‘s no way a country is unable to intercept a single stray missile. They should have made it more realistic by making it a missile swarm so that one could slip through the cracks.
Back in the 80s, they showed two films showing the grim effects of radiation sickness amidst nuclear holocaust, “The Day After” and “Threads”. Highly recommend both.
