Who'll stop him from pushing "the Button"? [View all]

At least one other person suggested nukes would be in play for this megalomaniacal stooge. I wish I could remember who it was so I could give them credit. But you KNOW how his ham-fisted brain works. He has no patience for anything that requires more than a few minutes of applied strategy. With all of his magical thinking, he knows he's losing and the more he loses, the quicker he wants his version of winning which in this case would be a quick annihilation of Iran.

It's a matter of time before it comes out that nukes entered the discussion early on with military brass ringing their hands over having a commander who once asked why we can't use nukes.

Hopefully, him demanding that option will hasten enacting provisions of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
