Does America Need A Nuclear Dead Hand More than Ever?
2024-03-31

#9  Rightnow, I am sure I am not the only one with worries one of Biden's inter-circle handlers might take control of the Football and open the USA up to outside attack.

Especially, if and when he is removed from office in Nov.

NN2N1,

A plausible variant on that would be one of the handlers deciding that a red state needs to be made an example of.

They've already threatened us with 'em.

#1  Aside from the articles subject matter itself.
It is loaded with links to other DOD info of interest.

As far pushing the button it must ALWAYS be a Mentally Aware/Competent and honestly elected leader.

Right now, I am sure I am not the only one with worries one of Biden's inter-circle handlers might take control of the Football and open the USA up to outside attack.

Especially, if and when he is removed from office in Nov.
