Larry Johnson has been anti US, pro Russia for many years now. All of our pro Russia crowd loved to post his garbage, but now that he’s pro Iran, he’s falling out of favor. Same with Macgregor, pedo Scott Ritter and Tucker Carlson.

...and in related news, President Trump transformed himself
into a giant fire-breathing reptile and attacked Tokyo:

And he was wrestling with the pilot to take the controls.

“The President cannot launch on his own say-so. He can order a launch, but that doesn’t mean those orders will be obeyed.”

Actually, that is inaccurate. The drills our nuclear forces run are specifically designed to ferret out those who would disobey. When they are in the silo and turn their keys, they do not know if it was a drill or actual. They merely confirm the authenticity of the codes.
Furthermore, with the code someone puts in, all it takes is one silo to turn the keys and it launches the whole field, not just their own local missile patch.

The system is exceedingly well designed to prevent any free thinkers from freelancing a mutiny far in advance.

Not only CAN the president launch on his own say so, he is the ONLY person who can do so.

President Trump has already shown great restraint in killing Iranian civilians his strategic use of attacks on Iran...He has gone after the government leaders and military by targeting only certain locations and not randomly attacking the country...He would love to see the civilians be able to destroy the Mullahs and the terrorist government...

He will NOT randomly nuke the entire country...

Please look at 145.... the system is carefully DESIGNED to prevent anyone from disobeying the order.

Have you read his DOD Undersecretary of Defense for Policy’s book? Have you read the National Security Strategy. They are ably and methodically executing the plan they laid out.

Nuclear missile crews (missileers) run drills constantly, with drills and simulated emergency action messages (EAMs) occurring daily or even multiple times per shift during their 24-hour deployments. Missileers deploy to underground facilities roughly six to 10 times a month, engaging in constant training, random nuclear surety evaluations, and inspections to maintain readiness.
Daily Drills: Missile crews receive EAMs frequently, often over once per hour, which can be real messages or drills to test responses, ensuring crews are prepared without knowing if the scenario is real.

Every single one of those could be real. And they have no idea until they turn their keys and the missile doesn’t fly. They do not know. In fact, the silence doesn’t mean anything either. They might be launching missiles sited miles away.
No, you won’t get any refusal or pondering if the order is legal.

there is no end to the shit these people will make up

All of the liberal tools have been pushing the 25th amendment crap for that past few weeks. This is part of their agenda.

It must be true it's on X and revealed by an "analyst". Expect a congresscritter to bring this up in 3...2...1.

I don’t believe any of it. He’s ex CIA? Was he there? Any ex CIA shouldn’t be trusted. They are mostly swamp rats that used their positions to cause chaos.

I would assume the command must be structured in such a way that no matter what the circumstances, with commanders fearing for their own lives and that of their families, the orders would still be carried out.

He was out of the State Department 33 years ago? Heck, even Jeane Kirkpatrick was involved in State Department as an envoy under Dubya.

“I’ll take “things that never happened for 1000, Alex”

Nuclear missiles and weapons in the United States are protected by multiple, overlapping layers of safety, security, and control mechanisms designed to prevent unauthorized, accidental, or mistaken launch and detonation. While the exact number of fail-safes is classified, they include a combination of technical locks (Permissive Action Links), procedural requirements (Two-Person Rule), and environmental sensors. Never happened and couldn’t.

Wonder if Larry is still inappropriately touching little girls.
