Happy Petrov Day, everyone. To celebrate, try to follow his example and not end the world.

Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who became known as “the man who single-handedly saved the world from nuclear war” for his role in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident. The incident was unknown to the public until it was revealed shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the satellite-based early-warning system of the Soviet Union reported the launch of multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles from the United States. At the time, tensions with the U.S. were on edge, and high officials of the Soviet Union, including General Secretary Yuri Andropov, were thought to be highly suspicious of a U.S. attack.

Petrov checked ground-based radars which had not detected a launch, noted that the warning system had detected only 1-5 missiles instead of the hundreds that would have been expected in the event of a first strike, and chose to mark the system alert as a false alarm. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack, which would have probably resulted in immediate escalation of the Cold War stalemate to a full-scale nuclear war and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. Investigation of the satellite warning system later confirmed that the system had indeed malfunctioned.

While it is highly probable that if Petrov had reported this incident to his superiors they would have come to the same conclusion, it was a point in time when many people feared that the Cold War might become hot. Andropov, the new Soviet leader, was considered weak by the US president Ronald Reagan, and the Western countries were deploying new missile installation in Europe to counter existing missiles in the Eastern Bloc. This fear of nuclear war meant that at this time the peace movement in most western countries reached one of its highest levels.

For those of you who are not 7 levels of hell deep into exquisitely batshit-insane antisemitic conspiracy theories: The Khazarian Mafia is 💯 a russian propaganda invention. It's a relatively new narrative that seems to have originated somewhere in the 2000s and it usually conveniently starts circulating on social media when there is, let's say, a presidential election in Ukraine or a russian military invasion. This conspiracy originates in a questionable historical narrative that the early medieval Turkic nomadic people called the Khazars may have at some point largely converted to Judaism. They were later defeated by Kyiv in the late Xth century and pushed out of the South-East of modern Ukraine and the European part of modern russia. That, according to the conspiracy, made them kinda bitter so they vowed to subjugate the great russian civilization by infiltrating the Ukrainian politics and the global elites. The Khazars also quarreled with Persia ergo her claim about Iran.

Everything can be an evil Khazarian plot: from Epstein and Global Warming to the 1917 Revolution. The governments of most countries are either naively oblivious or working for the Khazarians, except for Putin and also sometimes Trump (of courssse) who are trying to stop the Khazars from...uh...doing something bad to the world (gay and transgender ppl are usually involved).

I can guarantee you that Owens's producers didn't just stumble upon this shit on Telegram or Twitter. This is a part of the effort to help Trump win. Therefore, it's one more reason for you, US-Americans, to show up and vote.
