Obviously, a nuclear strike is the worst action that could be taken.

What concerns me is that this seems like it could be the reason that experienced military leadership was just recently purged by Hegseth.

Americans, you elected someone with the mentality of a child to the highest office in your country. You should be ashamed.

Face it, this is not some recent attack of dementia as some of you claim (perhaps trying to defend your extraordinarily poor judgment). The first time I heard that man talk was in 2016 when I saw fragments of his debate with Hillary Clinton. He was as childish and incoherent then as he is now. Later, seeing some clips of his behaviour during your election campaigns it was evident that he has the language and mannerisms of a child. I suspect he stopped his mental advance around the age of early adolescence or even earlier. This is not how an adult talks or behaves.

You gave nuclear codes to a 79 year old child. I can't condemn your recklessness enough.

What you are seeing in America right now is not democracy. We have transitioned into an oligarchy that is run by a group of billionaires. The only reason we still have elections is because the elites get to select the candidates and we only get to choose between the two options they chose for us.

Brookings did an article on it recently:

Him talking was broadly incoherant word salad in 2016, but I think there's a strong case to be made that his coherancy has been getting even worse over the past while.

Only having the mental age of a child and sliding into dementia are not mutually exclusive.

This war is a shining example of how just a few small slips in a democracy can slide into collapse in just under 50 years. Everything felt fine up until 2008 and now America cannot fix itself anymore.
