[kentuck]

This is assuming that Mitch McConnell and the Republicans would do nothing to piss him off, just as they have done nothing up to this point.

1. Moscow Mitch won't lift a finger to stop him.

He's providing cover for republicons to do their dirty work unobserved.

2. Most of those things are beyond the power of his office.

For better or for worse, the one thing he COULD DO would be to unleash our nuclear arsenal.

Let us hope that it doesn’t come to that.

3. Hopefully, that is beyond his practical power. Suspect the military has thought

that possibility out.

During 9/11 crisis, Cheney ordered all planes shot down, that did not obey his order.

Cheney: Order to Shoot Down Hijacked 9/11 Planes ...

During 9/11 crisis, Cheney ordered all planes shot down, that did not obey his order.

The military sent all the planes out to sea - and the orders were not followed.

[That was a more difficult, spontaneous response by the military].

There is hope.

4. Agreed.

I trust our military NOT to get us all killed. I suspect that our military would defy orders to launch nuclear weapons absent a pre-existing, armed, global conflict.

But you never know. It would only take a couple of MAGAts following the President’s orders to create a global disaster.
