With all the news breaking everyday and growing evidence getting stronger that Russia interfered

In our election and Twitler and some rethugs are Russian assets. Twitler edging us closer to another stupid war in the Middle East why is the miltary not paying back?

Could we get a 7 days in May situation. What was done to Mc Master was disgusting. I really wonder if the miltary would push back if twitler commanded them to drop nukes on Iran or North Korea? The attacks on Mc Cain, Kerry and Mueller who honorably served our nation in Vietnam must be pissing off some miltary people.

They are the wild card in this situation. Probably thirty percent of the officer corps are pro Twitler, and if push comes to shove, the seventy percent who aren't are going to have to move pretty damn fast.

orders a nuclear strike, its about 99.9% likely to occur. Some many redundancies and failsafes built into the systems.
