I know the military is poz'd, but I'm still pretty optimistic that they'll pretty much stop the Dems from using nukes willy nilly. There are a series of checks and balances required before a Nuke can even be launched.
I wish I could give you a horrifying rating, so I just gave you a disagreement one.
I don't see the incentive for Democrats to nuke anyone.
1- You've spent decades dragging Harry Truman for using them and use it as a main talking point in explaining why America is so awful.
2- They will lose international support instantly, and I doubt their media allies will be able to mitigate that big of a shit storm.
3- The green team doesn't even like nuclear energy, even though it's their dream power source.
4- It will drive an even bigger wedge between the democrats and the military, and the democrats view the military as dogs. If they upset them too much, they'll get a hand bit.
5- Dropping traditional bombs indiscriminately kills just as many civilians as a nuclear strike would over time, but since it's a slow tally, it's easier to excuse.
6- The cost of one big ass bomb is less than the cost of hundreds of thousands of small bombs. It's more profitable for the military industrial complex, campaign donors, and lobbyists.
7- The chance for nuclear retaliation would be extremely high, and Russia isn't pointing those things at Oklahoma. Government and military targets are highest priority.
I'm guessing their desire for control of the nuclear strike process is having a tool for intimidation and leverage. They know shooting is a bad idea, but they feel better being the one holding the gun. That, or they legitimately think US nukes will be used against them somehow. That jives with their rhetoric. They don't trust the military at all, and they're the ones that constantly say that the 2nd amendment is pointless for removing a tyrant from power because the government would just start nuking them.
