Valerie Plame is terrified reckless Trump and his low-quality advisers will blunder into nuclear

[still_one]

Valerie Plame Wilson, who was outed as a CIA agent by members of the Bush administration, is worried about nuclear war now that President Donald Trump has access to the world’s most fearsome weapons.

“He is so casual and reckless — impulsive, to say the least,” Plame told the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is a man who gets riled up by a tweet. Is this the guy you want to make nuclear decisions?”

The 53-year-old Plame, whose intelligence specialty was weapons of mass destruction, said she was shaken by Trump’s bizarre news conference Thursday — and she’s concerned about the “low-quality people he surrounds himself with.”

“So, this is the president to whom we have entrusted our nuclear codes?” she told the newspaper. “The incompetence we’ve seen is — and I know this is a widely overused word right now — unprecedented, and it’s more than just Trump.”

3. Isn't it fair to be afraid of how he will respond if he believes a head of state has made him look

like a fool or weak? I know it scares me.

4. tRump thinks Fox News is a reliable intelligence source. Will he base a life and death decision on

a report he sees on Faux news? He castigates his own professional government intelligence agencies. What hell will arise from trusting the most untrustworthy of news sources?

Can the planet survive a tRump presidency? Can democracy even exist in this republic anymore?

5. Trump, If we have them why cant we use them?

According to Joe Scarborough Wednesday morning, a foreign policy expert was trying to advise Trump and three times in a one-hour briefing, Trump asked, speaking of nuclear weapons, “If we have them why can’t we use them?”

6. That is one of the most frightening things I have ever heard.

And you know he is just itching to use them. To him, it would be the ultimate show of power. The fact that it could destroy the planet and most of the people on it would just be an afterthought to him.

7. That comment alone

would have disqualified any other candidate running for just about any office.

9. The fact that Trump even talks about nuclear weapons scares the hell out of me

Ever since Truman Presidents of both parties have almost never talked about
nuclear weapons except for looking for ways to make sure they are never used
and or gotten rid of. I forget which President said when he left office that one
of the best things was he no longer shadowed w/a military officer who carried
the launch codes and nuclear football.

For God's sake Tump let some random person pose next to the "nuclear officer."
In what world does that happen? That person should have been taken down up
to lethal force. We are talking about the end of the world here.

12. oh hell

just remember, the inauguration of t-rump was the beginning of full-time hell-on-earth.

prior to 45 it was a part-time gig for earth.

13. She's not the only one who's Terrified!

[Hekate]

14. Once again, I want to thank Amb. Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame for being on the side of truth

They are both brave people.

[Orrex]

15. I'm not convinced that they gave him the actual nuclear codes.

At least, that's what I tell myself so that I can close my eyes at night.

16. Thank you, still one
