GENE HACKMAN and NUCLEAR weapons (Trump/Zelensky meeting)

➡ The text discusses a tense conversation about military issues and the potential for war, including nuclear threats. It also mentions the unexpected death of actor Gene Hackman and his wife. Furthermore, it talks about the need for fallout shelters and the challenges of ensuring people’s safety during a nuclear attack. Lastly, it mentions the nearing end of the Cold War due to a treaty, despite opposition from some military leaders.

Well, thank you very much. It’s an honor to have President Zelensky of Ukraine, and we’ve been working very hard, very close. So we’ve actually known each other for a long time. We’ve been dealing with each other for a long time and very well. Do you disagree that you’ve had problems bringing people into your military? And do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country? A lot of questions. Let’s start from the beginning. First of all, during the war, everybody has problems.

Even you. But you have a nice ocean. And don’t feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless. God bless. You will not have a war. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. We’re trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. I’m not telling you. Because you’re in no position to dictate that. You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong. You’re right now not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position.

You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards. Right now, you don’t have your playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that’s backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have. Breaking news in the last couple of minutes that the two-time Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, the classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead on Wednesday afternoon in their New Mexico home in the U.S.

And the Santa Fe County Sheriff has confirmed that. They said, we are able to confirm that as facts. We do not believe foul play was a factor in their deaths. However, exact cause of death has not been determined at this stage. Nuclear attack here? Or not these farms and forests and small towns. Surely not split-level subdivisions and shopping centers. And that’s most of my county. But no man is an island. No place is completely isolated. And you have to assume that nuclear strikes on the United States, wherever they might land, would result in a widespread fallout, shifting as the wind shifts in the pattern prevailing at that time of the year, which means that just about everybody would be affected, I’d say.

That man there coming out of the elevator, that’s our Civil Defense Director. The younger man meeting him, the one who looks like an expert, is an expert from the regional office of Civil Defense. Well, I’ve been asking those two for some straight answers. This is a brand new commissioner. A thoroughly tested, completely developed program. OCD is supplementing the National Fallout Shelter Survey with the Smaller Structure Survey and the technique for evaluating fallout protection in private houses. Well, what else do you need? Where the people are, commissioner. Not only where they live, that’s no real problem, but where they work, where they play, where they go to school, where they shop.

Because people living normal lives just don’t stay put. Let’s take an example. This courthouse itself, right now it’s crowded. Streets outside are busy. If they were attacked now, everyone could find shelter in the building. Maybe not here, but in the halls, in the basements, in the courtrooms. Am I right, Bill? Yes, Donald. That wing is built around the central core, one cylinder inside the other. There’s fallout protection inherent in the architectural design. You see, you have plenty of room, already surveyed and marked. Enough for several thousand people. This is Richard Valeriani reporting live for CNN from the French aircraft carrier Phos, somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Six days ago, as the rebellion in Cessi has bred to the neighboring Caucasus Republics, the Russian president ordered massive bombing strikes against rebel positions. Jules and Valeriani, appalled at the loss of human life, the President of the United States, joined by the French President and the British Prime Minister, suspended all foreign aid to Russia. Ultra-nationalist leader Vladimir Ratenko denounced the US pressure as an act of war against the Russian Republic and Russian sovereignty. Sir, your captain’s whistle key. This is the captain. Second Edition 1 FQ for strategic missile launch. Spin-up missiles 1 through 5 and 20 through 24.

The release of nuclear weapons has been authorized. This is not a drill. Exo, take the con. Go to my state room for the launch keys. You’re relieved to your position. Cobb, remove Mr. Hunter from the control room. Get Lieutenant Zimmer in here right now. No, sir. I do not concur and I do not recognize your authority to relieve me under command under Navy regulations. Cobb, arrest this man and get him out of here. After operating procedures governing the release of nuclear weapons, we cannot launch our missiles unless both you and I agree. Cobb, what are you waiting for? Sir, this is expressly why your command must be repeated.

It requires my assent. I do not give it. And furthermore, you continue upon this course and insist upon this launch without confirming this message first. I will be forced attacked by the rules of… President, a foreign command, regulations… I order you to place Exo under arrest on a charge of mutiny. I say I can’t! I order you to place Exo under arrest on a charge of mutiny. American and Soviet negotiators are said to be quite close now to an agreement pulling the world back from the brink of nuclear annihilation and ending the long Cold War. But a major problem remains.

Several top Soviet and US military leaders refuse to end their bitter opposition to the treaty, warning that it would mean the removal of the nuclear shield, leaving both sides vulnerable to attack. Nevertheless, the treaty is expected to be finalized today. What is this? A bill? A bill? A fingernail container. Hey! Sergeant, what do you know? Okay. The President and the General Secretary have arrived here at the University of Chicago on the second leg of their historic journey meant to signal the end of the nuclear threat. The two leaders are placing a wreath at the memorial here on the campus near the spot where Enrico Fermé and a team of dedicated scientists first cracked the atom, opening the way not only for the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, but for the creation of the horrible weapons of mass destruction that the Soviet and American treaty now aims to eliminate.

Accompanying the President and his Soviet counterpart is the Secretary of State and members of the Soviet and American negotiating teams. From here, the leaders will ride together to the Hilton Hotel on the Chicago lakefront to tell a meeting of the National Governors Conference that the signing of the treaty will launch a new era of political, economic, and cultural cooperation between the superpowers and a new era of peace for the world. Today we stand on the verge of history. Our bleak and desperate past is behind us. What greater gift can we give to the children of the world? They will no longer have to live with the terrors of nuclear holocaust.

This was your operation right from the very beginning, wasn’t it? You killed General Carlson the whole thing. What operation, Sergeant? I don’t see that anything’s happened here. What are you working for, the Russians, huh? They hire you to kill one of their own? Or you miss war so much you’re trying to start one all by yourself? It hasn’t been a world war in 50 years, Sergeant. You ever wonder why? It’s nuclear weapons. We want them. The Soviets want them. We? Who’s we? A bunch of nutcases? If it wasn’t for nuclear weapons, Sergeant, you’d be fighting the Russians and the streets up in Washington right now.

I’ll take my chance. You’re a fool. We’re in separate armies, you know that, pal? But you’re out in the light now. And you’re gonna be scurrying for the dark. And I’m gonna see you get stepped on. You’re a dead man, Sergeant. Let’s take them. Wait a minute. Maybe you’ll lead us to the big man himself. Lex Luthor? You got it, Armist. We’ll make Captain by midnight. Hey, what do you read? XK-101 rocket to be used. Hey, what do you read? Hey, Matt. Hey. Hey, Otis. Just getting the daily plan in here. Otis. Is that the newspaper I asked you to get me? Yeah.

Why am I not reading it? Because I hadn’t given it to you yet. Right. Last, it’s official. Thanks to the generous help of the United States government, we are about to be involved in the greatest real-estate swindle of all time. Well, the San Angeles Fault, maybe you’ve heard of it. Yes. It’s the joining together of two land masses. The fault line is unstable and shifting, which is why you get earthquakes in California from time to time. Wonderful. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Everything west of this line is the richest, most expensive real estate in the world.

San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Everything on this side of the line is just hundreds and hundreds of miles of worthless desert land, which just so happens to be owned by Lex Luthor Incorporated. Now, call me foolish. Call me irresponsible. It occurs to me that a 500-megaton bomb planted at just a proper point would destroy most of California. Millions of innocent people would be killed. The west coast as we know it would fall into the sea. Bye-bye, California. From the land of the free and the home of the great cost overrun, Harry Howler, nuclear strategist for America’s top think tank and a great little warmonger in his own right.

A hardy-bent venue to Jean-Pierre Dubois, nuclear warhead dealer to the world. His motto is, if you didn’t buy it from Jean-Pierre, you didn’t buy it on the black market. General Romoff, a lot of people think of you as the mad Russian. I like to think of you as just madly eccentric. Please, be seated. The point is this. I, Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal of the modern era, have discovered a way to destroy Superman. Behold, my unscrupulous friends. Shut those blinds. The sun is hurting my eyes. Exactly. You know what the sun is. It’s nothing more than a huge nuclear bomb, a bomb with so much radiation in it.

It could incinerate the average man like… Yes, but Superman is no average man. Ah, right. What is your plan? Boys, old Lex here is kind of a secret recipe, a genetic stew in this dish, if you will. If you’ll help me put this on one of your missiles, I promise you, Superman will have the biggest surprise of his life. I’ll introduce him to his first nightmare, a nuclear man. He’ll pierce his skin. He’ll make him mortal. He’ll become sick. He’ll dance on his grave. He’ll dance on his grave. He’ll dance on his grave. Your, sir, at ease.

Misses. Misses. I regret it. And relax. He’s like… He’s beautiful. He’s perfect. Welcome home, nuclear man. Your father’s happy to see you. I’m, uh… You are… I’m… What? I’m a genius. I’m incredible. You are nothing. I am the father now. You have my voice. No. You have my voice. I am the father now. You have my voice. No. You have my voice. I made you. I can destroy you. Destroy. Destroy Superman now. You sweet thing. But not quite yet. Come here. We’ll discuss when the proper time is. This is the captain. Set condition one, F-Q, for strategic missile launch.

Spin up missiles one through five, and twenty through twenty-four. Release of nuclear weapons has been authorized. This is not a drill. Breaking news in the last couple of minutes that the two-time Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, the classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead on Wednesday afternoon in their New Mexico home in the U.S. and the center face. We’re gonna feel very good. We’re gonna feel very good and very strong. You’re right now not in a very good place. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. You’re not in a good position.

You don’t have the cards right now. With us you start having cards. Right now you don’t have your playing cards. You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. You’re gambling with World War III. Thanks for watching!
