Yes. Now we need to convince his followers he does this with everything so they stop insisting he means XYZ instead of what he said. We are doomed.
Right? I'm sure the CIA has software backdoors in there for just the same event.
I'm sure if our former allies were smart or able to, they would look for and clean those

I'm just theory crafting. They could do a lot of things. They could have a throttle governor that prevents it from getting top speed, or a delay on firing by a few milliseconds or whatever
