Will Trump Start WW III

[gab13by13]

I have been thinking about this since TSF won the election but have hesitated to do a thread.

Just now on Thom Hartmann he was talking about how the last 3 Republican presidents before Trump, all started wars to bolster their presidency.

DonOld Trump is mentally ill, he made the statement, if we have nuclear weapons why don't we use them? Hartmann was wondering if TSF may unintentionally or maybe even intentionally start WW III and that will be very very ugly.

When talking about Trump we need to think outside the box of normalcy.

1. Probably not intentionally, but he and his minions are so damn stupid

that I can imagine them stepping on their dicks so hard diplomatically that they set things in motion that they don't know how to stop. Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, Tulski Gabbard as DNI? What could possibly go wrong? Or one of his new loyal generals to set things off like in Dr. Strangelove.

2. Trump's first impulse is surrender

He would not start WW III.

Hell, if Russia threatened him enough, he would give them Alaska.

3. Yes.....

Cause they all think like bullies.

4. I'm not sure TFG has anything to do with that decision.

I will say this, POOTY wants us destroyed. I'm thinking there is a plan to weaken us then try a take over. Hell they own half the house and half the senate.

5. He won't even have to try.

He will divide everyone and everything that he comes into contact with. It's his natural inclination.

6. I think there are others planning

what to do with the military.

7. I'm pretty sure it's coming

But not sure how it will start. China vs Phillipines/Vietnam Nam, or Taiwan? Russia and Poland? Lots of flash points.

8. No, he would surrender anything his enemies

Ask for. He was tougher on NATO than Putin. It feels unlikely he will start a war. Indeed, he is more likely to lose parts of Eastern Europe and Taiwan without a shot fired. He's a wimp.

9. Well, what is going on

with that "Melania's nude pictures" issue? Is it adversarial, or not? Because, if it's something tRump doesn't like, he might issue a threat. Of course, both these boys are looney tunes, neither will back down, and we could have a problem. It seems to me that the blush is off the rose.

And, what about that ludicrous Russian, "Now, you have to do what we say," bit, because "you owe us." ??? Why would the Russian press say that?

Two things we all know for sure: 1) Everything tRump touches dies, and 2) He throws everyone under the bus when he is done with them. So, where stands Russia? tRump likes China (business interests) and North Korea (in love with Lil Kim.)

Why, why, why did so many people vote against their self interests? And, he isn't hiring anyone at all that could deal on the fly with a threat of war.

10. Very possibly & inadvetently

If Ukraine falls Putin will push against NATO countries. They may be without
U.S. help if republicans remove us from NATO. Then Putin uses a nuc to demand
an unconditional surrender, NATO countries refuse, nuclear exchange, end of
civilization. The ionizing radiation will kill all living things within months worldwide.

11. No, but Iran should be very afraid

[Wounded Bear]

12. I doubt it, but Cold War II seems on the verge of being real...

Would only take minor escalations to get there.

[Abolishinist]

13. He will put it off until the summer of 2028,

then argue that it would be too risky for our country to change presidents at such a time. He'll invoke FDR, and ignore the 22nd amendment.
