Trump: If I Was President I’d Threaten to Drop a Nuclear Bomb on Russia

He’s a real tactical genius, isn’t he, folks?

"Putin’s Puppets Admit Their Army Has Been a Total Embarrassment"

Trump's and Hannity's thinking is much in line with the thinking of Russian hardliners.

There are countless reasons why Donald Trump getting reelected in 2024 would be a terrible turn of events for humanity. His predilection for inciting insurrections when things don’t go his way. His belief that he can just buy whatever countries he wants and then throw a hissy fit when informed that, actually, that’s not how any of this works. His insistence that the noise from windmills cause cancer. The malfunctioning wires in his brain that cause him to toss paper towels into a crowd of hurricane victims like he’s working a T-shirt cannon at a basketball game. Truly, we don’t have time to list them all. But probably the number one reason we should fear the guy getting within 1,000 feet of the White House ever again is the nonzero chance that he’ll get us all killed.

In a Monday morning interview with Fox Business’s Stuart Varney, Trump offered that if he was president right now, he’d threaten Vladimir Putin with nuclear war.

“I listened to him constantly using the N-word, that’s the N-word, and he’s constantly using it: the nuclear word,” Trump said describing his talks with the Russian leader, while absolutely bizarrely suggesting “the N-word” refers to “nuclear.” “We say, ’Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, the most powerful machines ever built…. You should say, ‘Look, if you mention that word one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die.”

Most people, even those who did not spend four years receiving top secret briefings, understand that threatening an unpredictable madman—one who doesn’t care how many civilians he needs to kill in order to further his imperial ambitions—with nuclear war, is a horrible idea. Then there’s the fact that Trump, a tactical genius in his own mind, is seemingly telling Putin the location of the U.S.’s nuclear submarines in this fantasy scenario. (Trump has actually done this before. “We never talk about subs!” three Pentagon officials told .. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nancyyoussef/the-pentagon-is-facepalming-hard-over-trumps-disclosure-of#.rbPn4JLdo .. BuzzFeed News in 2017, after Trump told the president of the Philippines the military had moved a pair of nuclear submarines toward North Korea.)

Of course, this isn‘t the first time Trump has offered a terrible suggestion re: how to stop Russia. Earlier this month, he said during an interview with Sean Hannity that Joe Biden should be boasting about the U.S.’s vast nuclear capabilities, and during a speech before Republican National Committee donors suggested that the U.S. “put the Chinese flag” on its military planes and “bomb the shit” out of the country. “And then we say, China did it, we didn’t do it, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch.”

As a side note, for those of you wondering if Trump’s remarks re: threatening to use nukes means he’s over his favorite dictator, the answer is more than likely not. Just last week, the ex-president refused to call Putin evil or our enemy, despite Hannity practically spoon-feeding him the sound bite. Trump’s love for this man runs deep.
