Trump would love a better reason to attack Iran, because then he might get Congress to declare war and permission to deploy troops. Trump doesn't give af about a single american life except his own.

This man will order a nuke strike before he leaves office. Hopefully the generals actually have enough of a backbone to say NO.

It is for this exact reason that there’s no one single button to launch a nuclear weapon. It’s an incredibly long and complicated chain of command from the order being given to the weapon actually being launched. it goes through a list of people trained rigorously in extensively, strict protocols, who can, under their own judgment (although, not necessarily under their own authority), stop the order at any point along the way.

I believe it's;

"When I dance they call me Macarena

And the boys they say que soy buena

They all want me, they can't have me

So they all come and dance beside me

Move with me, chant with me

And if you're good I'll take you home with me

4D chess"

The question is, how many of those people have now been replace with yes-men? Scary thought.

that's a good question, for sure, but I have reasonable confidence in our military commanders and the military chain of command, who/which play a big part. they have a severe intolerance for the type of bullshit that the Trump admin seems to run on, and are exactly the types who would resist in such a crisis. Yeah, we've seen some high-profile departures in top positions, but I think it's more important how many we haven't seen.

of course, we' be unaware of any shuffling-around, so there's that to wonder about, if you'd like to lose some sleep... ;)

Because those goon clowns cannot find their own balls. Finding sleeper cells needs more than just driving around picking up bystanders.

I also don't want ICE kidnapping whoever they label as "Iranian sleeper cells," which would also be random nannies, farm workers, and gardeners.

No, "Mexican" is a generic term for a foreign brown person. Salvadorians are "papusa Mexicans." Venezulans are "arepa Mexicans." Iranians are a rare kind of Mexican, the "chelow kabab Mexican." People from Mexico we just call Americans because they are from the United States (Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos). It's easy to get confused, especially since a person's personal opinion on rodizio and Messi determines which one is "steak Mexico" and which one is "soccer Mexico."

I don't. Aside from all of the other questionable things that they have done over the decades, they lost at least six nuclear weapons that we know of. Let that sink in.

they didn't lose them by launching them at someplace... for all of their flaws, which abound, I agree, I'm reasonably certain that those in the chain of command responsible for shooting them off wouldn't do so for some bananas, insane reason if ordered to do so. some of them may be stupid, but I don't think that they're crazy.

Unpopular leaders play off one another to unite their people against "the other", and not towards their own unpopular leader.

Yup. That's why even immigrants support Trump!

I think we need a rich asshole police. Basically if you can't prove that you made that obsene amount of money via the hours you've worked today, then you can't have it. It is automatically given to a charity. If you fly 1st class and it didn't come out from your company's pay, that will be investigated and you'll have to return the full amount for proper use by the county for educational grants and school renovations. Fancy car and you can't prove you worked for it.... homeless rehousing project it is.

Because ICE would get absolutely blasted if they went after any real threats. Its also why they go after gardeners and children instead of actual Mexican cartel drug pushers.

So not 1700 Iranians, but 1700 Iranian sleeper cells. If we assume a cell contains at least three people, that's... Hold on... Carry the 2... 5100+ people. Anyway it's bullshit, Trump's an idiot
