Lauren WeinsteinI 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.
WeaselIt seems inevitable that Trump will attempt to deploy a nuclear weapon in Iran, because Trump simply cannot stand to lose, and he has stupidly put himself into a position that he cannot win using only conventional weapons. At that point hopefully someone will have the balls to remove the madman from office before his orders are carried out.
