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.

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

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.
