Trumps plan to end the war? He's going to tell Ukraine to surrender, or the USA will nuke them.
there is no way that would make it look like nukes are going to ukraine and not to russia, so this will trigger launch of russian nukes. congratulations??
Yes. You are correct. This is called sympathetic or preemptive launch and is included in nuclear policy/strategy.
Essentially if you launch something towards the US or especially Russia and people don't believe it's not a nuke they then have to decide if they launch towards the launcher or their closest rival/enemy and those launches trigger other launches.
Most nukes are in known places in hardened bunkers or silos or better at sea in a long haul ICBM sub. If you don't use them you lose them because they're 100% gunna get destroyed if you don't.
I'm fairly sure he's got Putin in his contacts. He can just call him first and say, "Trust me bro, I got this."
(Not that I think Trump will nuke Ukraine, nor do I believe for a second that our military will allow that to happen.)
Every president has the Russian president in his contacts. It's the big red phone in the Whitehouse.
Yes but does every president have them in their phone with hearts next to their name? I don't think so.
Don't forget the thumbnails of dick pics
that'd be just as stupid as calling for airstrikes on telegram or discord. i mean, russians do it, but it's still stupid
Where do you get the idea that Trump is in any way smart?
We know from his former professors that he was dumb as shit then, and the dementia is clearly progressing quickly, we've seen it actively get worse right in front of us the last few months.
Depends on which body of water they launch from.
