Naturally, there is no shortage of mouth-breathers who would support Drumpf using nukes early and often.
I used to work with one who was an insurance agent* and said such things as "Let's kick their (middle-eastern countries) ass and take their gas" and "We should nuke Mecca and turn it into a sheet of glass.".

The stupid, it hurts.

*Not sure why I included his profession, other than the fact these folks deal with risk/indemnity and acts of war/terror are common policy exclusions.

And whoever is hit will eventually respond at some point in time to one of our cities. Will it be yours?

Its almost like the Warning Danger Lights are going off now. Hello?

Because, face it, we aren't going to go toe to toe with Russia. What worries me is Russia's response. There might not be any cities left.

Locked down, no doubt Trump has already made up his mind to used nuclear weapons the first chance he gets!

HELL OR HIGH WATER, TRUMP IS DETERMINED TO NUKE SOMEBODY! WHO IS GOING TO STOP HIM?
