Contemplating Trump Using Nukes On Iran

by Shelt Garner

Trump’s power is you just never know what he’s going to do next, so you game out all these horrific scenarios only for most of the time nothing to happen. So, as Trump’s big deadline tonight at 8 p.m. approaches, we know one of two things will happen.

Either Trump TACOs in a big, beautiful way, or he actually does commit the war crimes of attacking bridges and powerplants.

But, as of right now, the afternoon leading up to that particular possibility, we just don’t know what is going to happen.

One issue that has started to bubble up into the forefront of my mind is the possibility that Trump might do something really nuts like order the use of, say, “baby” nukes on Iran in some way.

Makes you wonder what the reaction in the homeland would be to THAT. I don’t think Trump would do such a thing — would he? — but I am a little unnerved about the whole idea. I think if Trump used tactical nukes on Iran, it would be the closest possible time to Trump actually getting impeached by the Republicans.

But…that’s about it. He might, just MIGHT get impeached, but he still would never be convicted in the Senate.

So, to that extent, Trump is a king, an emperor, not a president and we’re no longer a republic. Oh well. Being a republic for about 250 years is about typical for such things.

Trump Continues To Prove How Fucking Bonkers He Is With The Iran War

At this point, there’s not much more to say about Trump’s mental state in relation to the Iran War that he’s currently waging. The man is totally bonkers. And has been for some time.

I don’t think Trump will use nukes or anything. And I think there’s a pretty good chance that he will just randomly declare victory and walk away, no matter what the state of play on the ground.

With Trump, anything is fucking possible.

Anyway, I really haven’t commented on the Iran War because there just isn’t much to say at the moment. I’m very much in a wait and see type situation. If things really started to escalate, then I might start to write more about it all.

We Have To Take The Possibility Of War Between The DPRK & US Seriously

I am growing ever more nervous about what’s going on between the United States and the DPRK. The issue, for me, is we just don’t know. We just don’t know what is going to happen next. It could be that this is nothing. It could be that we’re just going to muddle through and nothing changes.

And then there is a real chance that there will be a war between the United States and the DPRK. An example of this can be found below. This is now floating around the Twitterverse. I don’t know what to make of it.

The only reason why I think a war might happen is that with his poll numbers hovering at about 37% he needs a win. He needs a big win. And what better way to goose his poll numbers but with a major regional war in Northeast Asia. Given how nasty and yet ultimately fulfilling a war with the DPRK would be, it would be the perfect way to get his poll numbers up into the 80s, at least.

But I still believe there’s a good chance nothing will happen. I guess that’s the part I hate the most, the not knowing. The not knowing which way things will go. So, we’ll just have to see I guess.
