Consolidating his power base to proclaim himself dictator for life?

If he's taking out top military brass it's more like preparing to allow a foreign force to take over...

Precisely. Where are both Defense and Intelligence Subcommittees on this?

Really and truly, nobody home in DC.

If the Chinese didn’t need our market, you’d think they’d be nuking us about now. I’d wipe out the big coastal cities and military targets, then I’d take the heartland.

From the article: "but said it had nothing to do with his command of the nuclear stockpile "

That doesn't seem to align with what you are saying.

The purge continues. He’s afraid of anyone who might challenge him or disobey his orders.

<< We’re talking Nuclear Safety here, not a gambling problem or pinching female lieutenants on the ass. This general was not ensuring the personal attention to training and controls (and sense of paranoia) that these operations require. He wasn’t up to the responsibilities of the job.

Got a link for that?

I never heard of this many leaders fired or removed before.

Is this R.I.F. out line with other periods in time?

The nuclear sub commanders replaced by those who will NOT fire.
