I believe that there is approaching a 50% chance that Trump will either deploy or attempt to deploy a nuclear weapon (probably tactical weapon, perhaps a strategic weapon) in the ongoing conflict. Hegseth has fired most of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who might have fought against such a move. Trump is erratic, deranged, likely deeply senile and mentally ill, and surrounded by self-serving sycophants. This is probably the most dangerous time for the U.S., and the world, since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
@lauren I hope American military leaders know - and I suspect they do - how vulnerable they are to Dems convicting them of war crimes in a couple of years.

@CartyBoston @lauren

Are you kidding? The Democrats would do what they always do, close their eyes as tightly as they can and chant "Look forward, not back!".

It took both parties to get us here. They are both owned by the same oligarch donors. The Democrats as saviors from fascism is a convenient fiction, nothing more. In the end they are just the blue fascists who work hand in hand with the red fascists. Or have you forgotten that the Democrats made sure that NOBODY was investigated for torture and war crimes last time? Much less prosecuted?

@Quasit @lauren

I detest "the two parties are the same" bullshit.
