Sadly, I think our military will obey if Trump wants to do a tactical nuclear strike

Hegseth has fired all the generals who objected. The rest will be happy to test their toys. I used to, but no longer subscribe to the idea that our military will go with the Constitution and refuse illegitimate orders. They are perfectly happy to carry on. Those who are not retired or have been fired.

1. There was just a post about this.

The Secretary of Defense used to be the firewall preventing this. But not any more!

2. I so hope this doesn't happen. It is does then the US will clearly be recognized as a terrorist

country. We cannot continue to force our will on sovereign nation simply because we think we can. The hypocrisy of our attitude concerning nukes is not only dangerous but is insane.

This has to stop. We need real leaders that speak the truth to power and do what it takes to rid ourselves of these madmen.

3. I also think the military will obey illegal orders.

4. I think about all the Nazi soldiers convicted of war crimes

at the end of WW2. The excuse "I was just following orders" got them no sympathy.

5. He's lining up to do exactly that.

It won’t even be a surprise—he’s telegraphed his intentions. The reality-TV orange menace wants a spectacle.

6. I've little doubt they will, and no

just following orders is not an excuse, especially when there is language specific to following illegal orders.

7. I look for them to commit war crimes, and

take out their nuclear power plant.

8. The rest of the world will start to "Gang Up" on us,

if we don't curtail him soon!!!!!

9. I'm afraid you're right. In fact, I'm sure they're already contemplating what to do

10. This has been war gamed by our Military many times

It never works out well AT ALL.
