Missed your post because I block that foul name. Please misspell it.

Trump's "OBLITERATION whisperers" might talk him into it.

What's rattling around his empty brain tonight?

Quick solution. No negative consequences. Rating points. Forget about Epstein.


Trump May See Nuking Iran as ‘Safer’ Option: Conservative Magazine Editor

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-may-see-nuking-iran-as-safer-option-conservative-magazine-editor-11764509

Andrew Day, senior editor at The American Conservative, a conservative publication, is raising alarms about what he sees as a dangerous calculus in the Trump administration's approach to the Iran war: that the president might view nuclear weapons as a more politically palatable option than a ground invasion.

In a series of posts on social media, Day argues that President Donald Trump could rationalize nuclear strikes on Iran as preferable to deploying American troops on the ground.

"Considering only 7% of Americans support a ground invasion, and since all the ground force operation options sound like suicide missions, Trump might even see nuclear weapons as the safer political option," Day posted on X.


I'm ready for the announcement.



Muricans delight in the destruction.


Hiroshima

I do expect tonight, so he can announce the fait-accompli on April 1.
