>Former Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov died in May, though his death has only just been widely reported. Thirty years ago he was on duty when the then Soviet Union's early-warning system detected an incoming nuclear missile strike from the US. The protocol would have been for the Soviet military to fire nuclear missiles at the US in response, but he dismissed them as a false alarm and refused to report the alert to his superiors.
That was pretty cool of him.

events like this are why I think we're the only intelligent life in the galaxy
we made it all the way to the nuclear age, and we still would've destroyed ourselves were it not for the gut decision of a single human being
it's a hell of a great filter

If you prefer death, you can always just kill yourself. No need to bring everyone else along for the ride tbqhphamalam, you can jump off something, hang yourself, shoot yourself, gas yourself, all kinds of things.

A real human bean
One of a handful of Soviets I wouldn't wish to be thrown out of a helicopter.
Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov (30 January 1926 – 1999) was a Soviet naval officer. During the Cuban Missile Crisis he prevented the launch of a nuclear torpedo and therefore a possible nuclear war. His story is to this day unknown to the wider public, although some believe that Thomas Blanton (then director of the National Security Archive) expressed it in 2002, "a guy called Vasili Arkhipov saved the world."
CHECKED AND HEIL !!!
also, how cool would it be if the Soviet Union was pro-white instead of a kike commie state?
I wouldn't mind the Red Army invading Europe right now and taking out the fucking nonwhite immigrant trash.

So what if there actually was missiles flying towards the USSR?
Would you feel the same way about the US military man who, upon learning of Nork nukes heading stateside, failed to report them and a proper response was not launched?

This. I've always been skeptical of this story. It reminds me of the astronaut story and something about using pencils in space.
I'd be pretty happy if they waited for confirmation before launching nukes.
>implying nukes are real
We are at war now. No respect for the dirty Ruwskie.
>Be Russian
>save the world from nuclear war
>get stipend of 3 potatoes and a bottle of vodka per week for rest of life while being forced to live in shitty roach-filled apartment as reward
Russians have a long history of using propaganda to appear as the peace lovers and ALWAYS wanted to make the west look like the reckless aggressors
This fits perfectly
The only response is shooting down what little of their arsenal doesn't fizzle out across the ocean, there's no moral quandary there.
Russian bro actually had the world in his hands and didn't drop it.

He wasn't shot for insubordination?
How.
How the fuck does the burden of reporting for an early warning system fall to one man?
This is either an example of extreme military incompetence or bullshit.
