Trump is 'calling for a nuclear strike,' former White House comms director says

Obviously, a nuclear strike is the worst action that could be taken. What concerns me is that this seems like it could be the reason that experienced military leadership was just recently purged by Hegseth.

Americans, you elected someone with the mentality of a child to the highest office in your country. You should be ashamed. Face it, this is not some recent attack of dementia as some of you claim (perhaps trying to defend your extraordinarily poor judgment). The first time I heard that man talk was in 2016 when I saw fragments of his debate with Hillary Clinton. He was as childish and incoherent then as he is now. Later, seeing some clips of his behaviour during your election campaigns it was evident that he has the language and mannerisms of a child. I suspect he stopped his mental advance around the age of early adolescence or even earlier. This is not how an adult talks or behaves. You gave nuclear codes to a 79 year old child. I can't condemn your recklessness enough.

This war is a shining example of how just a few small slips in a democracy can slide into collapse in just under 50 years. Everything felt fine up until 2008 and now America cannot fix itself anymore. Citizens United Shelby County v. Holder First-past-the-post
