If Trump Doesn't Drop A Nuke Tonight

[lame54]

We will be so relieved we will accept whatever war crimes he commits

[MineralMan]

1. I, for one, will not accept them.

[johnnyfins]

2. Not really.

[leftstreet]

3. That's really depressing

[themaguffin]

4. Who's "we?"

[lame54]

7. An impotent nation...

As individuals we will condemn it
As a whole we will be helpless spectators

[Kid Berwyn]

13. As usual.

Excerpt...

Perhaps the most memorable of these roles came during the Reagan administration, when Rumsfeld was named special presidential envoy to the Middle East. According to the Washington Post and others, Rumsfeld was a major proponent of the Reagan administration's support of Iraq and its dictator Saddam Hussein.

As a conciliatory gesture, the U.S. removed Iraq from its list of state sponsors of terrorism in 1982, paving the way for Rumsfeld to visit Baghdad in 1983, about the midpoint of the decade-long Iran-Iraq war.

At the time, intelligence reports indicated the Iraqis were using illegal chemical weapons against Iran "almost daily." During several trips to Iraq, Rumsfeld told government officials that the U.S. would consider an Iraqi loss to Iran a major strategic defeat. In a personal meeting with Saddam Hussein in December 1983, Rumsfeld told the Butcher of Baghdad that the U.S. wanted to restore full diplomatic relations with Iraq.

In 2002, Rumsfeld tried to put a gloss on this meeting by claiming that he warned Hussein against using banned weapons, but that claim was unsupported by the State Department's notes on the meeting.

As a result of the openings created by Rumsfeld's diplomatic triumphs, U.S. companies were recruited and encouraged, both covertly and overtly, to ship poisonous chemicals and biological agents to Iraq, by the administrations of both Reagan and George Bush Sr.. Care packages to Saddam included sample strains of anthrax and bubonic plague, and components which would be used to develop nerve poisons like sarin gas and ricin.

5. I won't

[wcmagumba]

6. Nope, not this Huckleberry...

8. If he were crazy like a fox, as opposed to just crazy, that might have been his calculation.

But he isn't. He's not fox-like. He isn't acting on that calculation.

[Big Blue Marble]

9. Your post makes no sense.

There will only be terror around the world. The nuclear taboo would be broken.
Each of us would be far more at risk of nuclear annihilation.

[lame54]

14. He's raising the expectation so we'll say...

At least it wasn't that

[rurallib]

10. he has already committed war crimes

I am hoping after we win the election some Democrat will do something about them

[flvegan]

11. What about dropping one tomorrow? The next day?

See there's the fun, keeping everyone worried, scared, angry. One big Trumpian cliffhanger.

BTW, my usual reminder: 77 million shitbag Americans voted FOR this. 10s of millions of additional shitbag Americans chose to sit the election out and get the assist on electing him.

[MontanaMama]

12. Nope.

Respectfully, speak for yourself.

[lame54]

15. Not directed at you but...

You know I'm right
Trump will do something horrendous
And still be prez tomorrow
We'll complain about it
Then go to work
Watch our favorite shows
Buy expensive gas
Blah blah blah
Etc.etc.
