The implication of what you are saying is that the President cannot order offensive action with nukes on his own authority.

Why? Is there some law that prohibits that? He just ordered an offensive attack on Iran and the military obeyed.

You also seem to forget he can simply fire people until someone says, "Yes, sir!".

The only exception I can think of is the initiation of a nuclear exchange without cause that would annihilate the US, in which case the 25th Amendment would probably be invoked in an expeditious manner.

And right after that he tried to grab the steering yoke of AF 1 away from the pilots.

That was just to have a little fun...

judge nap is a total nutjob: he makes tucker carlson look sane ... and larry johnson has a known history of manufacturing hoaxes ...

obviously, this is complete bullshit ... President Trump is loath to destroy Iranian power plants and petro infrastructure, so to claim he wants to use nukes is stupid ...

btw: larry johnson worked as an analyst for the CIA for only 4 years, plus analysts are only one step above the parking lot attendants at the CIA in terms of knowing what’s going on ...

Exactly.

They want to 25th amendment him and by portraying him as irrational and foolhardy and a danger to world they think they can push him out as mentally incompetent.

If this actually had happened, there would be much more reliable reports and not a day or two afterwards. This would have been immediately reported and leaked to someone other than Larry Johnson. Johnson is either exagerating something (I could see Trump joking about it behind closed doors) or he isn’t smart enough to ask why he’d be the conduit for such a leak. Total BS.

...this is a smoke screen to scare the Persians?...

That. The Persians are big league bullshite artists.
President Trump is mirroring their bullshite.
Recall, the norks constantly threaten to use their nukes. President Trump reminded the norks his nukes are bigger, and they work

Mission ambiguity, and scare out the bejeebers of IRGC.

Robert Barnes is also out of the loop and losing it.

“Everyone” thought Trump was insane for mobilizing marines, and others, for a land invasion of Iran.
Then, 25th Trump cause he want to control Kharge Island, does’nt he know resupplying troops on the island is not possible.

Turns out The President needs troops to board and commadeer ships trying to run the blockade

Trump has Venezuela and Iran.
China does not have Venezuela and Iran

Let’s see what happens next!

I am more worried about the next dimocrap president allowing another nation to nuke us as reparations for all our evil or just level the playing field for all the turd worlders.

This is BS story, Trump is doing what he does best, subterfuge while he gets what he wants.

"...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..."

Larry hasn’t had CIA staff clearances for 38 years and hasn’t had State Department staff TS clearances for 33 years.

He’s “marketing”! He’s got to catch up with Tucker Carson, Candance Owens and Meghan Kelley in “outrageousness” . He’s just chasing the clicks and podcast “viewers” so his cash register goes “ka-ching”!

He’s part of the gang with MacGregor, Scott Ritter, etc. All complete, verifiable nonsense - no reason to believe this is any more credible than the other stuff posted from them.

Is this the Larry Johnson that was a Hillary supporter and was connected to the sad women who voted for her? He had a blog/site 10ish years ago?
