I think this is an extremely dangerous time, I am expecting Trump to

pull off some kind of military strike in the next day or so. You never know what a mentally unstable
guy like Trump will do, hopefully someone will stop him before it is too late.

1. I think he instigated the Russian spy ship off the east coast.

Probably the fly-by and the missile, too. He needs lots of distractions right now.

2. Those ships are often off our east coast.

This one just made the news for some reason. It's not such a big deal, really. We have the same kind of ships, off many coasts. It's all part of the intelligence game.

5. Actually, Malcom Nance had a theory that made sense...

Yes, the ships are often out there. But Nance was saying that when Pres Obama ousted the 35 Russian "diplomats" that he may have hit on some real Russian operatives and they might be beefing up the offshore monitoring to make up for the deficit in intel.

Actually makes sense.

News people excite though. I am looking for Trump and Putin to work up some kind of distraction to give Trump
cover.

3. Actually I Think A Peaceful Military Takeover Would Happen Before 45Pee Pulls Off A Military Strike.

The Repugs won't call for the impeachment of 45Pee because he'll take the Repugs down with him. To risky.

The Dems don't have the power to impeach 45Pee.

Seems to me that the military is the only alternative. A peaceful ousting of 45Pee and his minions and a declaration of a new election to take place on a certain date. This election would restore the government in a peaceful way and once done - the military would turn it back to the newly elected administration.

I know this sounds crazy. It would cause a lot of disruption both in the day to day running of our country and no doubt disrupt the stock market and the economy. But isn't it better knowing that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel instead of waking up everyday not knowing what 45Pee and company will pull?

then it's not really a distraction, is it.
Trump just keeps digging himself in deeper.

9. I have a facebook friend who continually talks about his WW-III fears. Most of the time...

... I don't respond or encourage him. But recently, I'm beginning to wonder. Could it actually happen? And would a WW end up being a nuclear war?

Sometimes I wish I was just another low-information voter who could just live carefree and worry-free until the "big one" takes us all out before we even realize what happened.
