I have spent the vast majority of today in a fine state of emotional turmoil because, again, the President of the United States at least, for whatever reason the brainworm piloting his skull has for doing so, WANTS me to believe he's going to drop a nuke on Iran. Is he? I dunno, it's not prophecy and Trump is not a reliable narrator about Trump. But uh... the President MIGHT nuke someone by dinner tomorrow is still both a remarkable situation and EXTREMELY FUCKING RELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION.

I mean I dunno how to read any of this except Trump wants me to think he might nuke Iran.

And you can say that's a ruse, that dipshit Hitler thinks if he just does the opposite of what he says that actually makes him Tacitus or something. Cool. Are you sure? How can you be sure? I mean I WANT to believe you here but I am not sure and I see no way to be sure that he's not just going to nuke Iran - like tomorrow, by Tuesday or some shit. Yet everyone around me is behaving "normal."

This bad.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Definitely am not sure. I *hope* he forgets, or someone takes the big red button away from him, or someone lower in the chain of command stops it if he is actually going to, or ... something.
But, also, he's getting his ass kicked in a war he expected to be done with several times over, and has worse emotional-regulation skills than most toddlers I've met.
So like - he might actually give the order, or he might forget about it by the morning. No fucking idea. He seems to >

@AnarchoNinaWrites have gotten even less stable and more unhinged, as he's contiuned to lose this war. I do not think he has the capacity/maturity to understand that he both is losing, and that Iran is not, in fact, going to fellate his ego to pacify him.
