In reply to the discussion: I think Trump is going to drop a nuke. [View all]YodaMom2
(186 posts)40. It's the ultimate expression of power.
And he wants to be seen as THE most powerful man on the planet. Theres not a doubt in my mind that hes itching to do it. And theyve culled most of the military leaders that would have opposed him.
If they open this nuclear door, theres no closing it. Whats to stop Russia from using one on Ukraine? Or China on Taiwan? Or North Korea on South Korea? The U.S. would be in no moral position to object. And no one else would be in a position to stop them.
The U.S. has protected the world order for decades. How ironic that we are the ones now tearing it down.

He already said he wants to, it's not exactly a big secret. The guy is batshit, hates the world, and has the codes.

I don't believe that they would hit us in retaliation. They both know they'd be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Putin might actually feel like he'd benefit from it. He might see it as freeing him to nuke Ukraine.

He's certainly crazy enough to attempt as much, but I doubt an order to do would be obeyed.
