Nuclear War Under Trump?

According to Milley Trump was positively itching use nukes. This is actually my #1 concern about a second Trump term. I absolutely think he would do it.

What say you?

In condensed and translated form, Project 2025 proposes that a second Trump administration:

Prioritize nuclear weapons programs over other security programs. Accelerate the development and production of all nuclear weapons programs. Reject any congressional efforts to find more cost-effective alternatives to current plans. Increase funding for the development and production of new and modernized nuclear warheads, including the B61-12, W80-4, W87-1 Mod, and W88 Alt 370. Develop a new nuclear-armed, sea-launched cruise missile, even though neither the administration nor the Navy has requested such a weapon, and the Navy has not fielded this type of weapon since they were retired by President George H.W. Bush in 1991. Increase the number of nuclear weapons above current treaty limits and program goals, including buying more intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) than currently planned. Expand the capabilities of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s weapons production complex, including vastly increasing budgets, shedding non-nuclear weapons programs at the national laboratories (such as those devoted to the climate crisis) and accelerating production of the plutonium pits that are the cores of nuclear weapons. Prepare to test new nuclear weapons, even though the United States has signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that prohibits such tests and has not tested a full-scale nuclear device since 1992. Reject current arms control treaties that the coalition considers being “contrary to the goal of bolstering nuclear deterrence” and “prepare to compete in order to secure US interests should arms control efforts continue to fail.” Dramatically expand the current national missile defense programs, including deploying as-yet-unproven directed energy and space-based weapons, or as the report puts it: “Abandon the existing policy of not defending the homeland against Russian and Chinese ballistic missiles.” Invest in a sweeping, untested “cruise missile defense of the homeland.” Accelerate all missile defense programs, national and regional.

Trump wanted to nuke China

Giant meteor collides with Earth under Trump!!!

The Borg invades Earth under Trump!!!

In her predictions, Vanga once cautioned about a major war in Europe in 2025, which could endanger the population and potentially lead to a global apocalypse. Reports suggest she mentioned that Russian President Vladimir Putin would emerge victorious, with Russia dominating the world.

Orange turd still itching to use nukes.He’s a sick old selfish man with limited time left and does not care if he leaves total destruction behind. America’s version of Putin’s dead hand.

I don’t think he’ll get the chance. All the tinpot dictators are on the same side - Trump, Bibi, Putin, Xi. Maybe they could nuke a minor player

Oh fuck Vanga. And Nostradamus too.

If that were to become in anyway true, it would mean that the U.S. had held back and had not used nuclear weapons to annihilate Russia.

I did not vote for Trump. He appears to be a Lewis Carroll character out of the Alice books. I am very uncomfortable giving the nuclear codes to a creature like that.

He's nuts and he already has them R8.

Maybe he could just die already.

"Vanga"? WTF?

It got even weirder when I looked her up. How do you guys come up with this shit?

I'll watch A Patch of Blue instead, thanks.

‘’He knows what scares us-he has from the very beginning’’

I think nukes are another distraction from Epstein. Trump’s silent handler’s won’t allow nukes to be utilized. They don’t want their new world order destroyed before they get a chance to enjoy it.

Such drama-‘’ I’m relocating nuclear subs to Russia’’ Eat shit fascist dump!

R13, the adult in charge is Pete Hegseth. Trump learned from his first term to eliminate anyone who would make him feel dumb, question him or stop him. It's psychotic sycophants all the way down

I'd like to think there are enough competent people close to him to stop him if it ever came to that.

It's not like he can choose alone to fire nukes.

R16 - BBC fact check: "The US president has sole authority to authorise the use of US nuclear weapons."

If you're curious about it, watch the movie Fail-Safe.

Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, and Larry Hagman when he was just a pup.

I sometimes showed it to my students -- good times!
