The actual nuclear threat

In case you didn’t know who the actual nuclear threat was all along.

___David Sacks, President Donald Trump’s czar for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, warned of Israel contemplating using a nuclear weapon in the Iran War.

During an appearance on the podcast All In, Sacks spoke about the “risks” of an “escalatory approach” in the conflict. “Israel could get seriously destroyed,” he said, before adding, “And then you have to worry about Israel escalating the war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon.”

...remember how we got into this:

"We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties," Rubio told reporters.

How much confidence can we have that Israel won't lead Trump and his minions to authorize his own nuclear strike?

We've all been made victim to whatever unthinkable act Trump is inevitably drawn to by a republican party that refuses to use their majority to restrain him.

He's a spoiled, privileged man-child who is fast running out of things he can grab and break, including his own promises. After destroying what he could of the federal government, he discovered he could get a firm hold on the military and flail it around wherever he pleases; taking the nation where they told him they didn't want to go; where he promised he wouldn't go.

Trump's burned through those taboos like crack and it won't be long before he's jonesing for a new high- like a cocaine addict who's snorted too much and drained themselves of dopamines- and he starts eyeing our country's nuclear arsenal as a way give himself another rush of power and self-aggrandizement.

We can only hope they've got man-child-safety locks on the nuclear briefcase.
