We are approaching the moment of maximum danger.

Now that Donald Drumpf is cornered like a rat we are approaching the moment of maximum danger. Our hope is that the military refuses to follow an illegal order:

These articles require the obedience of LAWFUL orders. An order which is unlawful not only does not need to be obeyed but obeying such an order can result in criminal prosecution of the one who obeys it. Military courts have long held that military members are accountable for their actions even while following orders -- if the order was illegal.

"I was only following orders," has been unsuccessfully used as a legal defense in hundreds of cases (probably most notably by Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg tribunals following World War II). The defense didn't work for them, nor has it worked in hundreds of cases since.

5. I have been concerned about this since Nov.8

Someone with zero empathy, trapped, facing possible jail time... may feel they have nothing to lose. A absolutely horrifying prospect.

There is no money for him and his children to make if he reduces us all to rubble.

10. Our military already knows the Trump is unbalanced. His denunciations of the intelligence agencies

made that clear. They will not follow any orders from Trump to do something catastrophically stupid. Believe me .
