The nuclear procedure, in GIFs

Let me try to explain the nuclear procedure with gifs. First, the President is warned of an enemy launch.pic.twitter.com/8iGbDR9dgx
The President's advisors, including the SecDef, assemble for a decisionpic.twitter.com/lPQCuaTWn3
The President makes a go/no-go decision. Assuming he wishes to retaliate, he tells SecDef to verify his orderpic.twitter.com/jjM5lpqprQ
This order is then sent to the chain of command at STRATCOM and JCSpic.twitter.com/PzJOHzM1QX
Each part of the chain below verifies they have a legit, real order, and then they all proceed to executepic.twitter.com/wOrfOoF1BO
There is no countermanding this except by the same process that started itpic.twitter.com/ib6123rn8d
At this point, their strike arrives. Whatever's left of our deterrent heads to hit whatever was in the plan that was activated.pic.twitter.com/TbK1Nl0040
If there is anything or anyone left, our forces report back their condition and try to assess damage of their and our strikes.pic.twitter.com/9F6J9jNAlv
What happens next depends on whether there's a cease-fire and attempt to negotiate.pic.twitter.com/wHclU0FsYc
If that gets nowhere, each side might try to destroy as much of the other as possible to delay their postwar recovery.pic.twitter.com/19rcWPLV7S
At which point we'll head for the cellar and stay there for a long time.pic.twitter.com/Yynrv2yCxE
And @SonnyBunch gets points too for telling @RadioFreeTom to do the gifstorm in all Friends gifs.
@RadioFreeTom Ok...now using Seinfeld gifs, lay out a first-strike strategy...
@RadioFreeTom Well done. I shall be counting on you to turn the most difficult times into upbeat gifs in the future.
