Those plans are made in consultation with the President, not in a vacuum. He can obviously do something else, but nuke is the word for this type of attack.
If they don’t back off. Their deep state actor allies have inflated the numbers so between that and the lack of public knowledge of what exactly is going on, it’s an iffy justification versus the negative optics.
I’ve no doubt we can hand them their asses conventionally but if they loosed a “second wave” of something that was more deadly I’d say nuke them then, and go for a decapitation strike.
Don’t need nukes. All he needs is Rods from God.
