Nuclear armageddon and the football

My worry is not the actions of Trump but rather the fact that he is probably not getting all the information he needs or the information he is getting is structured in such a way to feed his own ego and biases.

That’s what you get when you’re surrounded by yes men and you are incapable of understanding when you’re wrong.

When a real crisis emerges during the next four years I expect chaos and confusion in the aftermath. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

I’m not praying for Trump to fail. Experience just tells me to expect it. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

if so, that sounds exactly what the deep state military industrial complex, if they existed, would do. yes?

That’s what happens when you fear for your job. Trump tends to fire people who tell him things he doesn’t want to hear. When that happens the people left will usually shade things to put themselves in the best light.

The president needs the people around him to give him the unvarnished truth whether he wants to hear it or not. That’s hard to do when Trump keeps firing those who disagree with him.

Nonsense. no one who could reach flag officer rank would ever intentionally mislead the president unless they were a Manchurian Candidate which would make them a traitor. and anyone else on Trump's cabinet who would intentionally mislead Trump.

That's just keeping the football from him.

Either he's being controlled or out of control.

To help you in your selection, start with treason and work your way down from there.

Side question: You felt good about trotting out that URL about someone giving the President of the USA, i.e. the person with the nuclear codes, bad information that could easily cause many, many people, including Americans, to die across the globe to support your TDS infliction?!?

You bring up a question. Who brought us closer to a nuclear war, the Reagan or Kennedy administration? I’d argue that’s a no brainer. Robert McNamara and the other geniuses who brought us the Vietnam War also brought us much closer to nuclear Armageddon than Reagan’s bunch.

Anybody who puts all the blame on the Russkies just isn’t being fair. We put nukes in Turkey first. If memory serves me correctly that’s where Major Kong was based. Fortunately this is one instance where fiction didn’t become fact. Not yet anyway.
