“He knows Trump would never order an illegal Nuclear attack. “

I sure want to see somebody come up with an example of an illegal nuclear attack. And this General needs to be asked by POTUS, today, for an example of an illegal attack.

I can think of dozens of scenarios where even a preemptive attack is legal, if not hundreds.

And remember the old Nixon adage from 1973: “If the President does it, it’s not illegal”.

By definition.

As a President calling to nuke Sodom Fransicko would be an illegal order. Tempting, but illegal.

And I can think of gazillions of instances where a nuclear strike would be illegal because it violates necessity, proportionality and discrimination.
