“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw
Jul 17, 2025
On My Mind Today:
Trump’s mindless interference into everything nuclear, from global nuclear war to irresponsible nuclear power deregulation, blindly creating unknown but infinite possibilities for all kinds of nuclear crises, beyond the already tremendous risk of an immanent catastrophe. Trump is a “loose cannon” — the perfect example ever. Trump and his pitiful crew of White-House sailors must be removed from office immediately if not sooner. Call it a “mutiny” if you like . . .
As I mentioned just above, Trump is the perfect definition of what is called a “loose cannon”, which comes from the days of cannons aboard wooden ships that had to be tied down to prevent them from damaging ships, all before, during, and after wars regardless of one’s own ships or the ships of their enemies, creating a potentially catastrophic multitude of dangerous situations for all ships of war regardless of their missions.
Wanna-be Captain of the good ship “Earth”, Trump is the epitome of the loose cannons of old and, and specifically of today’s meaning of the two-word-phrase. But in a nuclear age rather than the loose cannons and wooden ships’ times, this starship called Earth and her most short-sighted and indelibly dangerously mentally impaired unqualified captain, including the evil malicious Captain Bligh, the infamous Captain of “Mutiny on the Bounty”, Trump is far beyond being under control nor so much as to be able to navigate in any kind of comparison other than the “loose cannon” meaning of today . . . ~llaw
