Speaking from Florida on Monday, Trump refused to rule out a follow-up attack after US air strikes in June damaged three Iranian nuclear facilities.
LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .
OMG! So now Trump has switched his old vocabulary about destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities to his failed attempt to demolish Iran’s previous attack from his past use of “obliteration“ to a future use he defines as “eradicate”. I can’t quite understand how something that has been “obliterated” can then be “eradicated”. And he proved he meant it by adding the adverb “quickly” as if he subconsciously knows his “Operation Midnight Hammer” failed, but is such an habitual liar that he can’t keep track of them all.
Somehow someway someone somewhere with the power to do so must convince congress and the supreme court that Trump is mentally unfit to continue on as the US president for even another day . . .
Trump is unwittingly — perhaps cognitively unaware of his actions and their potential nuclear war impact — continuously verbally heating up the potential for the last thing humanity needs: WWIII . . . ~llaw
