"Doomsday Machine" Destroys the World in Minutes

The black briefcase that always accompanies the US President on every trip is called the "doomsday machine" with the power to destroy the world in just a few minutes.

The black briefcase always accompanies the US President on his trips.

It looks like any other normal leather briefcase, but the black briefcase that always accompanies the US President on every trip and is carefully guarded is called the "doomsday machine" with the power to destroy the world in just a few minutes.

Known as the “Presidential Emergency Briefcase” or nicknamed the “Nuclear Football,” this briefcase is always within reach of the President.

Contrary to popular belief, the briefcase does not contain a red button to trigger nuclear war as in the movies. However, its power lies in the documents contained in the briefcase, allowing the US President to order a nuclear attack when in a location far from a fixed command center, such as the White House Situation Room.

In addition, the briefcase also contained a detailed manual of options for activating US nuclear weapons. The “football” also allowed the US President to contact the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon, which controls all activities and global nuclear threats.

The military assistant assigned to guard the briefcase was well trained and experienced.

The five military aides entrusted with protecting the President’s briefcase are specially trained to execute a nuclear attack within minutes. Air Force Major Robert Patterson, who was in charge of protecting the briefcase for former President Clinton, said, “I always have to be ready. When I open the briefcase, I always feel refreshed, reminding myself that there is an extremely powerful force inside.”

The name “Football” comes from the code name “Dropkick” previously assigned to a secret nuclear war plan. “Football” must accompany the President at all times, in planes, helicopters, cars and elevators. When the President is at home, the briefcase is locked in a secure room in the White House.

The small black briefcase first appeared in public during the Kennedy administration after the Cuban missile crisis. Since then, the US government has believed that it is necessary to have a tool to support the President in making decisions on nuclear issues, even when he is not in the White House.
