Ill take things that didnt happen for $500, Alex.

Whether it happened or not, its this sort of chatter that will inch a country like Poland or South Korea closer to obtaining their own nuclear weapons.

Yup. When the reliable and sane global security order is breaking down, and countries are told to fend for themselves, they will do so. There are a handful of threshold nuclear states who have seen the threats increase and the security guarantees become quite unreliable. Nuclear proliferation would be an unsurprising outcome of America’s foreign policy changes. It would be a costly but entirely rational choice for several countries at this point.

Well now you know something is definitely off if Alex Jones is calling for Trump to be 25th'd.

‘How do we 25th Amendment his a**?’ Alex Jones joins calls to remove Trump over Iran

Former MAGA allies and members of Congress urge Trump’s removal as the president threatens to eliminate Iranian civilization

And then there's the impeachment push for both POTUS and SecDef.

All of it meaningless. The congressional Republicans will only hold the leaders of this administration to account if it decisively threatens them at the midterms. And even there, too many are probably afraid of the MAGA base.

Thus far the only meaningful constraints on Trump appear to have remained the courts. I don’t see them being a factor in how Trump and his administration prosecute the war in Iran.

To which his administration has shown open contempt for at all levels of the judiciary. To think the courts would constrain him is delusional.

But so far they have. When push comes to shove they generally have abided by the rulings, even while getting all pissy pants about it.

Frankly it shows a long standing pattern, and possibly even SOP of contempt for the courts. Im surprised judges haven't thrown the book at the administration more.
