Truman could have stopped it. He didn’t, but right afterward he ordered that presidential permission was required for such action, and his administration made it official policy in a 1948 memo: U.S. presidents had the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. If a president gives the word, the military must obey. That’s even if America has not been attacked, and even if a president is demonstrably unfit. A president, for instance, such as Trump, whose reckless, divisive term ended with his loyalists — at his urging — staging a deadly attack on the Capitol to try to keep him in power after he lost the 2020 election.

I honestly come here to avoid garbage like this. Why post this here?
-SB
So wait....
We should prefer Giggles with HER finger on the button.
Or Tampon Tim with the nuclear codes?
Or BIDEN?!?!?!?!
Except her pantyhose.
It's easy to put a run in those.
As with Trump and NK.
Yet to date, he's one of the few that had a war free term, the only one who's ever met with whatever his name is, and got him to disarm and behave himself.
Because 43 other people and counting were interested in it and you aren't the center of the universe?
Just thinking out loud here.
Opinion: Everyone who says Trump shouldn’t be trusted shouldn’t be trusted.
If you get your news and opinions from the LA Times you just might be a communist.

The changes in the Russian nuclear doctrine announced by President Vladimir Putin are due to the deterioration of the military-political situation in the world and new threats and security challenges to the Russian Federation, Igor Korotchenko, Editor-in-Chief of the National Defense Journal writes.
If the United States delivers a strike at us with air or seaborne cruise missiles, we shall now consider it a casus belli and can retaliate by nuclear weapons at the USA. It is the supreme commander-in-chief to decide whether strikes by long-range precision US or UK missiles deep in Russia from the territory of Ukraine should be considered a casus belli. He will decide how Russia would react in any specific case and which weapons – conventional or nuclear - to engage.
OP is a communist agent...
There are few greater enemies than the #EneMedia.
Want nuclear war? Vote Harris.
Trump via strength will de-escalate.
These same kind of left scum said the same thing about Reagan. He’s the reason the Wall fell.
These left scum are stupid, ignorant, or just plain evil.
To be fair a lot of the young left scum were corrupted by a toxic “education system.” Sigh.
To paraphrase Hitler, Stalin, and Mao (I could go more ancient history), own the children, own the future. The NEA has done this for decades.
Nope :)
It SEEMS as if WWIII isn’t quite as improbable as I once though, what with those pesky nukes and such :)
But biden/harris have done it!!
They’ve made it possible!
So talented :)
There was no feeling that WWIII was even close to being at hand under Trump.
Now there is.
There can be a WWIII without nukes...but for how long?
We need the world to avoid it for almost 4 more months.
Until Trump ends the insanity.
Her IQ is actually about 78 per some reports. Qualifies as mental retardation.
People, we are not running against Harris. She is simply a stupid sock puppet. We are trying to hold the line against the people running the imbeciles Biden and Harris who they can manipulate to take down the US and forment more wars.
They won a round in2020 and see what wars have ensued.
Some of you know some of the names. Soros is the least of them.
Well said.
Sorry for the typos - big hands, small phone. Sigh.
Is that “projection”? So many terms for all the various ways they bukksh** and lie.
Orange Man didn’t nuke anybody last time. What makes these Angelenos think he would now?
What I find especially frightening is that Harris is falsely presenting herself as a nitwit with an IQ of 80 TO GET ELECTED. Idiocy is a strategic feature, not a bug.
Is this because:
1) Playing the fool lets her evade disclosing her real platform and policies, which would derail her completely.
2) She knows that only gullible idiots would vote for her, so she’s going all in, while winking out the occasional Marxian Spock Thought to signal to the intellectual Leftists that she is actually as brilliant as they are, only pretending.
3) She is a racist, who believes that acting brainless establishes her black identity.
4) She’s making sure the Deep State knows she will be a compliant puppet.
5) All of the above.
It’s the old Johnson attack on Barry Goldwater. Trump is the least likely candidate to use nuclear weapons since George McGovern. Trump was President for four years, never threatened to use nuclear weapons, and voluntarily left office, despite the fraudulent result of the 2020 election. How did ultra-Dem Jill Lawrence miss that?
“Everyone blah blah blah…“
Sounds like something a mean girl from the 6th grade would say…
