The generals don’t have any say in the matter though.

To order a nuclear strike, Trump only needs to key in the codes and tell them where to fire. It also requires the Secretary of Defence to enter their code, but the SoD doesn’t have a choice in the matter (they could refuse but they would be instantly replaced by somebody who would do it!).

Luckily the strike orders are still given to actual humans who have to actually push the button/turn the key to launch the nukes, so hopefully they'd refuse to do so.

Unless it's from a submarine of course in which case the missiles can be launched remotely.

Apparently North Korea are now saying they're going to fire some warning shots at Guam. Nothing to see here folks, move along, it'll all be fine.

So you're intending on firing a warning shot 'near' the place you said you'd bomb the day before. Of course it will and any accidental casualties would just be a course malfunction right?

Was in the US embassy in Dublin this morning renewing my little ones passport, good lord the security is mental, not allowed any electronics at all, no liquids and we went though about 3 metal detectors.

They're at it again.

Donald Trump has issued another provocative warning to North Korea, suggesting that his threat to unleash “fire and fury” on the country was not “tough enough”.

The US president told reporters that North Korea “better get their act together or they’re going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble in this world”.

Sounds like they are being taken off of the naughty step and are going to be grounded for a month. :shock:

He's clearly seen how freaked people are by his words and decided to double down on his big boy statements.

The way he applauded Putin for kicking out US diplomats, thinking Russia had fired them was unbelievable. They're very much still on the US payroll. :lol: :fp:

Trump says that the US is 'locked and loaded'. I think he thinks he's playing a VR war game.

I can't believe contemporary human civilisation is going to end because of three pathetic men violently overcompensating for their tiny micropenises.
