I don't see Biden himself as actually being in control like the CinC

I don't think there is a CinC right now, this is just being run by committee

competing entrenched interests fighting for control in the cockpit

Imagine if there were to be a Cuban Missile Crisis like situation now

some sort of confrontation which started to spin out of control

and there is no CinC

the National Command Authority is decapitated for all intents & purposes

that is how theatre thermonuclear counterforce could happen

in order for the Chicken Switch to be pulled, somebody has to be in charge to pull it

bear in mind, the MICC is on autopilot

it is just proliferating drones, hypersonics and anti-ballistic weapons

the MICC is destabilizing the Balance of Terror by default, and nobody is at the controls

meanwhile, the old weapons remain at DEFCON 5

but that is fifteen minutes notice to launch of warning, DEFCON 5 is not peace

so we are wandering towards the brink slowly but surely, while the nation is asleep at the switch

there is going to be some sort of missile crisis at some point, it's inevitable on this trajectory
