Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the other “n-word” is nuclear because no one talks about the danger.
Discussing the Ukraine war, Trump said, “At the beginning, Biden was very afraid of nuclear. ‘Oh, they’ve nuclear weapons,’ which was exactly the wrong signal to send. Don’t do that, but if you go back and check your files, you’ll see Biden early on said we can’t do this. They have nuclear weapons. Well, you don’t want to act that way, but he was very afraid of nuclear. I said, you know, you got to be a little bit cooler than that, but what happened is now that nobody talks, but every day Putin mentions it, and every day other people mention it, and now all of a sudden, if you look other countries are talking about getting it.”
He added, “This was something you don’t mention. I call it the ‘n-word.’ you have two n-words. You don’t mention either one of them—the nuke word you don’t mention because the power is so destructive. I met with professors at MIT, and I was preparing for a debate. I wouldn’t say it was a long preparation, but I did want to talk about nuclear because I consider it to be the single greatest threat the world has, far greater than global warming, like not even a contest. I had these people come down who were very smart, very expert, and I said, ‘If we start talking about nuclear debate, how would you handle it?’ They looked at me one in particular and said, ‘

nuclear & nucular
More Trump on the N-word.
“Look, Stuart, when he goes in and he kills thousands of people are we going to just sit by and watch?
This country will be in 100 years from now they will be talking about what a travesty, a horrible thing this is. We can’t let that, just on a human basis we can’t let that happen, and then he says that there are nuclear power but we’re a greater nuclear power.
I hated to do it, but I rebuilt our nuclear capability like nobody has ever thought even possible. $2.5 trillion in our military, and a big chunk of it went to nuclear and we’re doing it. We had 45-year-old and 50- year-old weapons that we didn’t even know if they worked and now we have brand new stuff that’s immensely powerful and hope to god you never have to use it because it be , that be the tragedy of all tragedies
But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it. The nuclear word, and we never talk, we say oh, he’s a nuclear power, but we’re a greater nuclear power.
We have the greatest submarines in the world, most powerful machines ever built, most powerful and they got built under me. Most powerful machines ever built and nobody knows where they are and
You should say look , if you mention that word, one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these thousands of people die. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people by the time it ends.”
You had me going at first but as the old expression goes, Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again.

Tucker knows that Trump knows stuff that would scare us all. What’s scarier, is Biden knows the same stuff but can’t comprehend it.
“Gentlemen may cry, ‘Peace, Peace,’ but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
The Russians are made out as the bad guys again.
Putin is a madman.
They are expansionist and wanting to retake their Soviet Empire.
Bla bla bla... all junk.
Sadly for them, we know they are far more predictable, rational and measured as to use nukes.
While we make them out as the aggressor (even though it is us going into their backyard, cheating on agreements/Minsk, lying as with promising no NATO East expansion), the truth is that the Russians are extremely “doctrinal,” they have a rigid and very stable bureaucracy where many folks stay for many years (unlike us where you have a high turnover), example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Lavrov
The Russians are like a chess player that is predictable.
They will NOT use nukes against us or our allies,
You likely know about “Dead Hand” aka Perimeter, but just in case:
https://www.wired.com/2009/09/mf-deadhand/?currentPage=all
Excerpt:
“By guaranteeing that Moscow could hit back, Perimeter was actually designed to keep an overeager Soviet military or civilian leader from launching prematurely during a crisis. The point, Zheleznyakov says, was “to cool down all these hotheads and extremists. No matter what was going to happen, there still would be revenge. Those who attack us will be punished.”
And Perimeter bought the Soviets time. After the US installed deadly accurate Pershing II missiles on German bases in December 1983, Kremlin military planners assumed they would have only 10 to 15 minutes from the moment radar picked up an attack until impact. Given the paranoia of the era, it is not unimaginable that a malfunctioning radar, a flock of geese that looked like an incoming warhead, or a misinterpreted American war exercise could have triggered a catastrophe. Indeed, all these events actually occurred at some point. If they had happened at the same time, Armageddon might have ensued.
Perimeter solved that problem. If Soviet radar picked up an ominous but ambiguous signal, the leaders could turn on Perimeter and wait. If it turned out to be geese, they could relax and Perimeter would stand down. Confirming actual detonations on Soviet soil is far easier than confirming distant launches. “That is why we have the system,” Yarynich says. “To avoid a tragic mistake. “
We used them twice on major population centers...If backed into a corner, Russian would have no issues doing so.
He’s misdenouncing nukular.
>> Strategy and stategery
lol
Too bad he proved to be a jerk
But since that's not the case, I'm not worried about it.
Having a nuclear arsenal is worthless unless there are conditions where you are willing to use them.
That said, those conditions are not met, and because Russia is extremely doctrinal, bureaucratically stable, led by folks that are not suicidal and fairly pragmatic, because they like us are actually concerned about “an accident” and have built in safeties both in the process and the weapon systems themselves, I am not worried. Just hot air-
But you make a very valid point. We have used nukes on someone, twice. They never have.
If you look at the Ukraine crisis, consider this, it was “us” that suddenly went for NATO membership of Ukraine, when we knew all along that was a huge problem for the Russians. What changed, them or us?
We are the ones that are not to be trusted. Our political process and bureaucracy make us “unpredictable, unreliable, without consistency.”
If you doubt that, just ask a Vietnamese or Iraqi or Afghan...
***In our political games and with a bureaucracy that is subordinate to the political system but fails to bring about any sort of counterweight to the political whims and social fads, we are not to be trusted.***

We will rewrite history, censor, just make stuff up... but the bottom line is this: no matter what we promise today, what treaty we enter or sign, what moral values we talk about and pretend to have today, there are in reality no boundaries and limits, no promises we are not willing to break, tomorrow.
Want to see that in action?
- Just look at the crap coming from this guys mouth: https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-mexico-military-drug-kidnapping-1786025 (you realize he’s talking about invading our neighbor?) How do you expect them to react? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/3/9/mexicos-president-slams-calls-for-us-military-to-target-cartels (this is actually being very measured and nice. It’s not them that is the nut job, it’s “us.”)
- Do you think we have limits or boundaries we don’t cross? https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream This is where some of our allies get their energy from.
- We left Iraq when and as we did because Obama could not have it become an election issue the next year.
- We withdrew from the ballistic missile treaty because we wanted missile defense. Of course that is also one of the variables today with Ukraine and why Russia feels this as a threat. Missile defense in Ukraine is not something they can accept since it impacts their nuclear deterrent capabilities.
- We offered NATO membership to Ukraine because our big corporations and oligarchs wanted that, but in particular (for us) it is through NATO where we have influence in Europe.
I do not trust “us.” I am worried about what “we” do. We are the ones that are likely to cause WWIII may it be with Russia or China (RPC). Of course it will always be the other guys fault, at least in our mind, but we are unpredictable, we do not hold our word if it can politically or economically benefit the right folks. We do not even go by our own Constitution, not even in it’s most basic principals: warrantless searches, invasion of privacy, torture (enhanced interrogation), kidnapping (extraordinary rendition), trials without a jury (FISA courts), mass government censorship (free speech)...
Seriously, think about this for a second. While our media talks about Putin having Asperger’s in 2014 and today he’s a psychopath, it is “us” that has a President where we need to question cognitive abilities: https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-browder-vladimir-putin-psychopath-since-childhood-2022-6
Of course we are always right, we are always moral and ethical in what ever we do, and it’s Putin with the mental disorders, while Biden can’t find his way off a stage, shakes the hand of ghosts, does the one leg lift to let one rip before a Royal: https://nypost.com/2021/11/07/camilla-parker-bowles-keeps-talking-about-biden-fart-at-cop26/ He shits his pants in the Vatican, falls up the stairs repeatedly, avoids media contact and interviews unless they are entirely scripted, and can’t speak in coherent sentences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Pwd-3PsFA
But it’s Putin and Russia we need to worry about, I got it.
Of all the countries with the bomb today, only Pakistan I would about more than us.
