Mar 4, 2017 at 14:48 comment added frodoskywalker To avoid refusal to launch, you need to provoke and repeatedly escalate. Recognise Taiwan. Offer to station troops in Ukraine to protect against Russian aggression. Restart anti-missile shield deployment. Destabilise countries neighbouring China and Russia, and send in troops 'for their protection' when Russia or China responds. Keep pushing, giving them motive and opportunity to escalate. Every time they do escalate, respond in kind.

Mar 4, 2017 at 12:36 comment added nzaman According to the linked discussion, NO, IT DOESN'T. The only other input, other than the US President, is to authenticate that the order is being issued by the designated CiC, not an imposter. Other than that, a launch order is a launch order, unless someone down the chain refuses to comply.
