I like the message and the tone. Having said that blustery words are just that. He will have to get congressional approval for even a very limited military strike. This is t defensive.

Look at jeff justifying everything that this fascist regime says or does.
Not recognizing the danger and stupidity of making threats like this, like terrorists give 2 ----- about some military strike, like no one will ever call his bluff, like escalation isn't a thing.
Also consider that ------- is both a coward AND a bully. The bully in him wants to use the US military to blow ---- up, he is just too much of a coward to follow through-the end point of having zero morals or core beliefs. But his ego may get his mouth to cash a check the rest of the world will have to pay.
Well done magat scum this is what you voted for

Its not justification, its just the law.
I get it you and fellow Lumpers don't believe in the law, but some of us immigrants still do.

It's funny 1lumportwo thinks a proposed bill that has not been passed by the House, Senate, or signed by the President is some kind of force of law. "Introduced" is not exactly the final step in lawmaking.
Simple fact is, POTUS can launch a nuclear strike on any target for any reason or no reason at all, and no one can legally stop him.

"Today on Truth Social, Donald Trump seemed to ..."
This is why people are tuning out. Most people stopped paying attention to the things Trump says on social media years ago. Reacting to every stupid thing he says, especially when he obviously appears to be trolling, has never moved the needle, but hey, maybe doing the same thing over and over will get a different result one day.

All those folks in Michigan and elsewhere who voted for Trump thinking he'd end the war in Gaza are now finding out exactly how foolish that was.

"All those folks in Michigan and elsewhere who voted for Trump thinking he'd end the war in Gaza are now finding out exactly how foolish that was."
And to think that all Harris had to do to win the election was to come out and promise to use the most powerful position in the world to force a cease-fire.
Can't upset the warmongers and supporters of neo-fascist, ethnosupremacist, colonialist genociders, tho'

Tactical nuclear weapons are intended to achieve a tactical effect within the battlespace. In which battlespace would the US benefit from the employment of a tactical nuclear weapon? Is the US bogged down on some middle eastern front where one of these weapons would break a stalemate? Not that I'm aware of. Which means that the only real effect of employment of said weapon would be cognitive. Which leads to the logical conclusion that the cognitive effect would be the desired effect. Which really means that the simple threat of the use of this weapon achieves the actual applied effect.
Hamas is on the ropes. Their strategy had been to play the long game in the hopes that the international community would eventually pressure Israel to cede Hamas power and influence. That play failed. Hezbollah and Iran have been emasculated. Protesters on Ivy league campuses will not enable them to achieve their strategic objectives. The only rational hand Hamas has left to play is the one where they fold.
I think Trump's threats are real, not so much in the threat of nuke weapon employment, but that that the Islamic resistance will no longer be able to retreat to Dubai or Doha and live without the threat of being smoked by a drone or assassin. That may be the paradigm change that breaks the back of the Islamic resistance.
And that's a good thing. 80 years ago, Germany and Japan were both rules buy vile extremists. Those regimes were defeated through the execution of extreme violence, yet today, those countries represent two of the most powerful economies on the planet. Hopefully someday, Palestine will be the model of modernity. But it won't happen until the extremists learn that their objectives will only get them killed. That there is no hope for them or their agenda. That their only route to prosperity and peace is through compromise.

Someone needs to switch the names on the red buttons before Orange Adolf takes office. Switch the Middle East with the Kremlin.
