Yes, this is
excellent and Scott is
really angry here, justifiably so. He covers the same ground in his interview with Ania K,below.
If anyone is interested in the history of
Able Archer there's a well written piece here:

[Extracted]
Beginning in the late 1960s, NATO ran annual military exercises in Europe designed to train its forces and test combat readiness. Under the auspices of NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the exercises typically ran from September to November, and were thus known as Autumn Forge. In the year of the Able Archer war scare, Autumn Forge 83 was made up of six exercises involving approximately 100,000 troops. The largest was Reforger 83 (“REturn of U.S. FORces to GERmany”), in which NATO forces had to defend against the “Orange Pact” (the Warsaw Pact). The Reformer exercise alone involved the airlift of over 16,000 American troops to Europe.
Autumn Forge always culminated with Able Archer, an exercise which tested the command and control procedures for both conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction. SHAPE historian Gregory Pedlow described Able Archer as follows: “It was an annual Command Post Exercise (thus involving only headquarters, not troops on the ground) of NATO's Allied Command Europe (ACE), and it was designed to practise command and staff procedures, with particular emphasis on the transition from conventional to non-conventional operations, including the use of nuclear weapons.”

The people who know how it works in details have a top security clearance, and won’t share here for sure.
From open sources it is known as a 15Э601 network, connecting the RVSN infrastructure and responsible for the automated counterstrike in the event of WWIII, in case if the national and military leadership responsible for the decision are AWOL or respond inadequately.
The system is a set of algorythms vaguely close to that is called artifical intelligence nowadays.
It is connected with thousands of sensors nationwide relaying multiple parameters.
First would be the early warning radars, then satellites measuring the changing intensity of the electronic transmissions on frequencies used by the NATO militaries, other telemetry from the RVSN observation posts, electromagnetic and ionizing pulses in the population centers in combination with seismic pulses, even the presence of live people in the streets in various locations and personnel on military installations.
Once the system based on the sequence of the above signals is assured that the strike took place, and there is no one in charge to retaliate, it takes over, evaluates the condition of the remaining assets and launches the remaining missiles in the way to inflict the maximal possible damage.
It is not entirely ‘doomsday’. If the President leaves office for quite some time, he activates it manually, skipping certain signals required for the automatic activation.
