      He not only wanted to use them but use them on a hurricane. Turning something already terrible into something a lot worse.

      She’s saying the trump admin is discussing nukes, she is not saying nukes are bad

      Rational people are saying it would be bad if nukes are used.

        And I’m saying she’s just being alarmist and inflammatory to keep herself in the news cycle. People need to stop giving her the publicity she doesn’t deserve.

        That’s partly how we got Trump in the first place. News outlets falling over themselves to report the insane shit he was saying and doing, at the expense of reporting on sane candidates saying sane things.

              Yes…

              And then the rest of it is rational people discussing what would happen if trump used nukes…

              I’m sorry buddy, it literally doesn’t matter to me if you understand this, and I’m not going to fight you just to help you.

              Feel free to be wrong about this and anything else, I won’t see it anymore

                That’s exactly the problem! She says crazy shit to keep herself in the news. People take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously and discuss what she said as if she should be taken seriously. News reports on it as if it should be taken seriously. Voters take Jewish Space Laser Lady seriously. Mission Accomplished.

                I’m sorry buddy, it literally doesn’t matter to me if you understand this, and I’m not going to fight you just to help you.

                Feel free to be wrong about this and anything else, I won’t see it anymore

                Enjoy your self imposed information silo.

    I wouldn’t put this past Trump. He is irrational, cannot accept failure and likes his big showy spectacles like using B2 bombers to attack Fordow and Natanz last year.

    He has been going non-stop about how Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and Israel firsters like Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham have been drawing parallels with Japan in 1945 for a while.

    Trump restarted the B61 gravity bomb programme which sits outside the nuclear triad and can be dropped by F15 and F35 jets. Apparently Centcom already have them.

    At the same time Hegseth has been purging Generals who have been urging caution.

    The likely target would be the nuclear facilities under Pickaxe Mountain which would be a one and done affair and would allow Trump to declare a victory ahead of the midterms.

    Obviously this would open up a shitstorm but it’s clear from the war of aggression he launched against Iran that Trump has an optimism bias and doesn’t think things through.

    Do it, make the world your enemy and cement China as the new world leader you mental deficients, odds are that the American military won’t follow through with it but if they did, I could see many angling to attack America over it.

    Saber rattling. Putin has done this for decades. If anything, nuking would antagonize the USA world wide.

    Wasn’t the current leader’s father, mother, wife, son and others incl. a baby (niece) killed in a past strike? I don’t think threats of nukes would stop my eternal rage.

    Trump might use nukes on Iran to help Putin.
    Legitimizing that Russia uses nukes on Ukraine.
    Remember Trump has absolutely zero morals, he has zero empathy towards the people this may hurt. EVERYTHING to Trump is about Trump, nothing else matters.

    So he doesn’t have anything empathy or morals related that would prevent him from doing this. It’s all about how it will impact himself. And Putin being grateful, would be of very high value to Trump, because Trump for some reason loves to suck Putin’s dick.
    It’s like the love he never received from his father to him.

      If it’s just her that’s saying it without any evidence. But it’s no secret Trump has said before he’d use nukes, even asked why have them if we can’t use them. It’s why the end of season one of “Years and Years” hit so hard, because it’s totally conceivable. The real question should be does he have enough people between him and the button to prevent him from doing yet another stupid thing. There’s far too many yes-men and bootlickers to comfortably say that him throwing a little fit can’t result in disaster. It seems it’s happened a lot, just none with nuclear weapons yet.

    No he won’t. He doesn’t dare do anything, he is the world’s biggest baby, all he ever does is shout and scream but nothing ever comes of it.

      Yes we know the United States has nukes as does a lot of other countries. Existence does not mean there is any actual threat of their use. The one is talking about using nukes of around or anywhere else.

          Trump doesn’t know how to launch the missiles though does he, it’s the military high command that know how to launch the missiles and they’re not going to do that.

          His current biggest military concern is apparently his irrational fear of electromagnetics, you don’t seriously think they’re going to redesign the navel vessels be you? They are just going to do their standard thing where they dynamically do nothing, until he forgets about it, which as long as no one brings it up again should be about a week.

          If I had a dollar every time trump threatened something but then didn’t carry through, I could retire to the the Bahamas.

        Given the fact that trump himself doesn’t know what he’s going to do next, I can’t see how being on the inside really grants her any additional knowledge.
