Krasnov was blocked access to his country's nuclear codes by a senior US military chief. Why he wanted those codes was not determined.
Krasnov was also banned from the situation room by military advisors during the critical Iran rescue mission. The reason given was because of his furious temperament. Just maybe there was another reason, maybe our military fears that agent Krasnov is a Russian operative?
This needs to be on every front page of every news outlet, Krasnov is unfit to be president, the military is shouting that to us.
This is evidence to use the 25th Amendment. WTF people? This is a Big Fucking Deal what went on with Krasnov.
Where are Congressional Democrats on this?

Someone needs to investigate to get total verification. Who is going to investigate? Kash Patel?

(15,512 posts)If a commander/commanding officer is otherwise mentally incapacitated (drunk, recklessly angry, outright insane), it's okay to slow-roll an illegal or blatantly given while impaired order that, like, could get everyone killed for no reason or undermine the mission in general for the commander's personal gratification.
Waste, Fraud, and Abuse of government resources is still illegal.

This is a mini coup.
I also think the generals are the ones who had him removed from the situation room
because he was getting violent.

(13,113 posts)Still nothing done about him. He is a criminal
he broke this countrys laws
he should be arrested and jailed
president or not.
Thats all.

Leverage to scare other countries and in my opinion, to use them as well.
Cause shithole is viability nutso along with the rest of his crew.

(4,538 posts)Now that his deeply unpopular war is not going according to whatever stupid script he has in his addled brain, he wants to end it with a bang...a really, really, big bang.
However, we still have no confirmation on this story. We know he was kept out of the situation room during the pilot rescue because of his instability; but beyond that, it's mostly rumors and scuttlebutt.

Where are the pilots? Who are the pilots? Why isn't pedo Trump using them as props?

Larry Johnson isn't a valid source.

(32,566 posts)I believe it was on Nicolle Wallace.
Are you serious comparing this with someone calling Michelle Obama a racist? You are posting a right wing talking point.
There is also only one man, a former KGB agent, who reported that Russia gave Trump the code name Krasnov. I can't prove that, but I can believe that seeing how Krasnov has done everything to please Putin and Russia.
People better start using common sense.
EdmondDantes_
(1,990 posts)It's the same guy. So maybe you should reconsider which of us is pushing that right wing stuff and needs to start using common sense.
Do the most basic source checking especially before you accuse others of maleficence.

(32,566 posts)Whiskey Pete has been feuding with Army Secretary Dan Driscoll since Krasnov took over. Driscoll and other generals who don't agree with Hogsbreath or Krasnov get fired. When Driscoll praised the Army's top general, Randy George, Hogsbreath fired him for no reason.
Krasnov and Hogsbreath are firing military brass who disagree with them. This has been going on since Krasnov took over. They fired the JAG officers.
WTF man, there has been chaos going on in the military since Krasnov became president and there are dozens of examples.
I never said a thing about Larry Johnson, I don't know shit about him, but he said the same thing I saw on MSNOW.
Krasnov is a pedophile but I can't prove it because one of his accusers named Maria, disappeared and the other backed down when she got death threats. I call him a pedophile all of the time, especially to Magats in my home town.

(1,990 posts)Saying you know nothing about him is why I suggested that you check your sources. You then falsely attacked me and then shifted to the source doesn't matter because you already believe a thing.
Truth and facts aren't just what you want to believe. Someone isn't credible just because they're telling you what you want to believe.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley took steps to prevent then-President Donald Trump from misusing the country's nuclear arsenal during the last month of his presidency, according to a new book by The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa obtained by NBC News.

Fighting the disinformation gets so tiring, many DUers just give up.

MineralMan
(151,467 posts)goes to a completely unrelated news story that has nothing to do with Trump and nuclear codes.
I tuned out immediately.
If any officer in the military had actually refused to provide those codes to a POTUS, that person would be immediately removed from his or her position. That is beyond question.
So, that did not happen, and no evidence that it did is presented.
This should be disregarded in its entirety. The source is someone who is not currently involved in the intelligence community. It is bullshit!

(1,048 posts)While there are probably elements of truth to the story, the reality is likely way less hyperbolic than the headlines that got the story the airtime the authors were looking for.
Good luck finding a source or even corroborating story in any of the materials. Without that it is just a story. It could just as likely be planted by someone wanting Democrats to look foolish in pursuing it.
Unless and until more sourced information comes out, Democrats should only ask questions and pull on threads to see what is real and what isn't. It certainly isn't 25th Amendment or impeachment material at this point.
And even if it were, neither of those are going to be successful anyway. Why are we even bothering to invoke their names at this point?

(3,489 posts)A military attache is with Trump at all times, carrying a briefcase referred to as the "football". Trump carries a card with authentication codes on them referred to as the "biscuit". If he wants to order a nuclear strike he summons the attache, provides the biscuit, and is then given the codes from the football. After that he can then order the strike by providing the codes from the football.
He doesn't need to ask the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for the codes. He has ready access to them at all times without the Chairman being involved at all.
This story is not plausible, and it's not because Trump isn't stupid and/or crazy enough to order an unprovoked nuclear strike. It's because our nuclear command and control procedures don't work the way the story describes.
