While I don't think it's necessary to be a Doctor with years of experience dealing with mentally unstable and disturbed individuals to recognize that Trumpolini poses a genuine threat as someone who would use a Nuke to demonstrate he's the biggest, toughest bully on the block, it's also pretty clear that someone who has admitted his expertiese is limited to the narrrow field of Rocks for Jocks isn't the best choice of people to evaluate the likelihood of the Warmonger-in-Chief deciding he needs to glaze over Tehran as the "FINAL SOLUTION" for freeing up Hormuz from the control of Towel Heads determined to shut down global Happy Motoring.
His Trumpness has already made thinly veiled threats of wiping out the entire Iranian population and erasing thm from the history books to get his way. He's clearly frustrated, even the lapdogs and syncophants that enable him in CONgress have been turning against him and the likelihood the Repugnants lose the House & Senate in fair elections grows by the day. The military virtually admits they're short of conventional weapons for carpet bombing Iran, so what's left for him to leverage here to get them to capitulate? It worked for "Give 'em Hell Harry" Truman against the Japanese, right?
I still hold the Hopium out that somewhere along the Chain of Command that common sense will prevail and even if he orders it, the order will be refused, but it's still a legitimate concern. To argue otherwise is at best unrealistic.

Trump floated the idea of using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes headed for US
President Donald Trump has floated multiple times the idea of thwarting hurricanes headed for the US by bombing them, including by dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes to disrupt their course.
Sounds about as informed as when folks claimed the world was ending because there wasn't more oil to be produced. Trump is itching for using nukes, doomers itching for the end of the world...whatever floats your boat I suppose.

New York Times columnist fact-checks Elon Musk on ‘no deaths’ due to USAID cuts
Elon Musk, accusing him of spreading misleading information, after the world’s richest man claimed no one could name even one person who had died due to foreign-aid cuts in the USAID programme.
Yamah Freeman, a 23-year-old woman who died during childbirth after Musk "stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia"; Gbessey Kiadu, a one-year-old who died of malaria.
"Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him," Kristoff wrote.
And many others. The trouble with Fascists is that their definition of who people are is very narrow.

Central Europe sizzles as heat records are smashed in Switzerland, Denmark and Czech Republic
Unusually high temperatures were recorded even in the Nordic countries not known for sweltering summers. Denmark’s Meteorological Institute reported a record 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit in Ødum north of Aarhus — the warmest day since records there began in 1874.
The Eurotrash are cooking! And it's not even the hottest part of Summer yet! Maybe they can relocate Europe to Greenland.

Kagan Puts Trump's Most Inflammatory Remarks About Haitians Into Supreme Court Record
Justice Elena Kagan put President Donald Trump's most racist and inflammatory remarks over the last decade about Haitians into permanent record Thursday, blasting her conservative colleagues on the bench for refusing to "put them in print."
Scathing dissent unravels Supreme Court claim Trump wasn't racial using his own remarks
In her dissent from one of the Thursday Supreme Court decisions on immigrant rights, Justice Elena Kagan made sure Donald Trump’s litany of racist remarks would be a forever part of the court’s historical record.
Welcome Bags Planned for White South African Refugees
“They will get an Android tablet, an American flag and copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. They will also receive a packet of literature that provides a sanitized, Trump-approved view of American and South African history, one that criticizes racial equity and civil rights laws and promotes claims of discrimination against white people.”
People entranced by Trump do not think he is racist. I dream they perish in a puff of smoke. AI has more consciousness than these people.

Iran pushes plan to charge billions for Strait of Hormuz management as Trump denies fee scheme
Iran's negotiations over Hormuz management would give Tehran unprecedented control over a chokepoint through which 20 percent of global oil normally flows. The regime is examining international models, including Turkey's Dardanelles arrangement and the Malacca Straits Patrol, to justify the arrangement.
Now back to our regularly scheduled war.
