"This war must end before its architects drag millions more people, and
potentially the entire world, into an even greater catastrophe," the
head of NIAC said as former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene fueled
fears of Trump using nuclear weapons on Iran.
I wouldn’t put this past Trump. He is irrational, cannot accept failure and likes his big showy spectacles like using B2 bombers to attack Fordow and Natanz last year.
He has been going non-stop about how Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and Israel firsters like Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham have been drawing parallels with Japan in 1945 for a while.
Trump restarted the B61 gravity bomb programme which sits outside the nuclear triad and can be dropped by F15 and F35 jets. Apparently Centcom already have them.
At the same time Hegseth has been purging Generals who have been urging caution.
The likely target would be the nuclear facilities under Pickaxe Mountain which would be a one and done affair and would allow Trump to declare a victory ahead of the midterms.
Obviously this would open up an escalation shitstorm and solve nothing but it’s clear from the war of aggression he launched against Iran that Trump has an optimism bias and doesn’t think things through.
