Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Napolitano has been a weird Trump hater for some time.

This report is absurd.

I heard Trump stole an Uzi from Secret Service and they had to wrestle him for it. He kept yelling, “Iran is MAGA Country!”

retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson: During an emergency meeting On Saturday
_______
This would be a top secret meeting, where everybody is bound by total science. Any leak would be punishable by heavy jail time.
So how does retired CIA analyst know?

“Judge Nap” is a rat masquerading as an impartial fair minded centrist.

I remember Rush used to call him Eddie Munster. LOL.

If the US was under attack, the President could order it, and it would be followed. There would be no time for a declaration of war.

Agreed. That's exactly why I said:

"An order to nuke Iran without a declaration of war, or without any evidence that Iran was about to launch a nuclear attack of its own, would be an illegal order, and the military would refuse to carry it out.

In other words, if (and that's a BIG "if") the President were just ticked off about how Iran is bargaining, and decided to launch 20 nukes to wipe them out, that order almost certainly would be refused. As it should be.

I think they got the facts wrong.

Trump was in his presidential limousine and he had to wrest control of the wheel from his driver so he could speed back to the White House at 150+ MPH to get to that emergency meeting.

:-P

“there is seriously something wrong with Trump.”

Just wondering if this CIA analyst ever said anything remotely similar about brandon on X??

Obviously a decision to use a nuclear weapon would require all kinds of analysis of a target, and many other details about the device, yeild, timing etc.

It is not a “hold my beer and give me those codes” type of thing.

The only thing I could imagine is Trump might be willing to let Iran think he is considering it.

That is my understanding as well. The importance of the football is that no nuclear attack can be launched without the president authorizing it with his code.

They lie without compunction at all anymore. They’ll be doing this a lot more in their Trump derangement state.

Some will tell any lie or take any traitorous action to hut President Trump.

Some envious military brass in the first Trump term included Milley, who promised his “counterpart in China” to alert him if Trump was making plans to attack China.

From Reuters recap of the events:
“Then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that he would alert him in the event of an imminent U.S. attack. These secret calls, made in late 2020 and early 2021...”

Right. But just because he orders it doesn't mean it is actually going to happen. That would be a terrifying thought. Suppose Senile Joe Biden woke up one morning and decided to nuke some other country. Should that order be obeyed just because he gave it? Of course not.
