Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAre the nuclear powers starting to see us as a proximate, immediate threat to the world? What
will be the response?
We keep hearing that trump has immediate and unstoppable access to use of nuclear weapons. Are we in danger of being hit with a first strike due to his clear instability?
Normally this would be the subject of a spy novel of some sort and a hero would arise that saves the day, right? Hmmm. Are we the threat now? I've read little in the foreign press that sees trump as a positive.
Security councils around the world ARE examining, on a daily basis, the situation in the White House. Trying to understand this new threat to their nations and people. The U.S. Has always been seen as the port of last resort. The place where, when all else fails, at least, they thought, we can appeal to that nation to whom all aspire, for safety. Not anymore. We are now as dangerous to the world as Kim jung un wishes he was to us.

That's how they sleep at night. We, on the other hand, are not quite so sure.

likely thought a president would always be serving in the best interest of the country. And they probably thought only one of stable mind could make it through the election process. The came Trump, and the Electoral College failed. I'm glad there are some generals around this maniac. I've often thought some really weird shit might happen to keep him form launching missiles, like totally ignoring him. We sit out here in the weeds, guessing and pondering.
