Nukes on the border? This will show them we mean business.

“The Pentagon is seeking counsel from the military...”

Huh?? The Pentagon is asking itself?

Maybe they’re asking their in-house lawyers to find some excuse why they can’t do it.

He should declare the home and courtroom of several federal judges as military bases.

A lot of “the Pentagon” is civilian. Hegseth is trying to get rid of tens of thousands of them.

The military is barred from acting against citizens, but it is not barred from acting against non-citizens.

Nuclear option by putting the army on the border to defend the border? This shows how much the left has shifted the narrative. Try walking into Turkey from Iran or Armenia - won’t happen because the Turkish army defends their border and they don’t have a great reputation for treating invaders with the kind of hospitality that would bring a smile to the face of leftists dipshits in America. So no one does it.

Interesting.

This should be the military’s primary role. Defending the border. That is not law enforcement.

“Going nuclear”, or “nuclear option” does not necessarily mean that nuclear weapons will be physically deployed or detonated.

A better term might be “scorched earth” like Sherman’s march to the sea, which left widespread despair and grief in its wake.

The land cannot be occupied by the invading force, because it will be turned back by overwhelming fortifications with firepower to back it up. I think Trump is warming up to the concept of sweeping into Mexico to take out the cartels once and for all. They may have some pretty good military hardware at their disposal, but if a response from the US military gets triggered by their vain attempts to drive the Americans away from the border, don’t expect the might of the entire military machinery of the United States to hold back. Every stronghold of the cartels will be targeted and bombed to oblivion.

You’re welcome, Mexico.

It is not nice to p*ss Donald J. Trump off. He counterpunches. HARD.

All military bases should be moved to our borders, both north and south. -— The navy can have the coasts.

Just shoot to kill invaders, drug smugglers and traffickers until people respect our borders. It wouldn't take long before they'd all get it.

This isn’t anything to do with “law enforcement; we are being INVADED by a FOREIGN ARMY OF TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, & OTHERS.
