Trump Says He's Ready to Use Nukes

[Firefly]

Good launch em all. We can play Fallout for real

[Grand58742]

Agree, that was kind of a no-brainer.

Well, he was dealing with Piers Morgan.

[Benito]

I don't think Pres. Trump is threatening anybody. I think he was asked about them, and said the only thing a President should say: "We don't want to, but if it comes down to it, and we must, I am capable of doing so." As has been mentioned, it was basically the best thing he could have said. You can't say you'd never use them as they then become worthless and no longer a deterrent.

Oh yeah, you think so?

Well, let me ask you then, how do you think he would respond if asked about using nukes on Saudi Arabia or Israel?
Obviously that question would never be asked by any network owned by one/both of the above mentioned groups, but let's say just hypothetically.
Do you think he would say "We don't want to, but if it comes down to it, and we must, I am capable of doing so." ?
Mmmmmmmmm, I doubt it.

Btw Saudi Arabia and Israel have, and continue to, do orders of magnitude far more egregious and insidious acts against the interests of the American people (as well as Canadians, Europeans, Australians, etc. you get the picture) than Iran.

also piers morgan is a moron trying to set him up for a sound bite to be used by the left that is all nothing more

He and Piers are buddies, actually.

...but they won't ask that, because we are not in an official "conflict" with them at the moment. If we were, the answer would be exactly the same - as well it should be. You don't narrow your options as small as that narrowing may be.

[WickedWillis]

We will (most likely) never be the first to use them against another Country. To be blatantly honest though, I hope no one uses them again in my lifetime. To threaten it is just posturing. He is doing a dick measuring flash to see what the response will be.

He gave the obvious answer, bravo I guess. The problem is given his thin skin, reactionary nature & fits of rage I don't know that he'd "think about it" at all before doing it.

[The_War_Wagon]

Taking in to consideration bump stocks and now suppressors, has he been meeting with Eric Swalwell?

I was gonna nominate him to Trump, as a, "calibrating target."

And how many nukes has he slung around the globe since being elected because of his thin skinned, reactionary nature?

That's the same Democrat talking point was used prior to the election along with a bunch of mouthbreathing Democrats in Congress trying to take away the President's authority to use nuclear weapons. Guess what? Just more fear mongering from the liberal idiots on the left you've bought into.

Congrats and give yourself a piece of cake.

No nukes yet, just dumb trade wars and unguided diplomacy bombs. Not confidence inspiring. I haven't bought into anyone's talking points. I've had an extremely low opinion of Trump for at least a decade before he ran for President. It baffles me what the draw to the guy is, he's a hustler ( and not in a good way). I do love cake though.
