Nuke Chief: I'd Resist 'Illegal' Trump Order

[JakeStarkey]

The congressional Republican are rightly quite worried because of Trump's emotional and mental unfitness to make such decisions.

You should be worried about your own mental fitness Flakey. Trump's not going anywhere, but you're an ambulance ride away from...what do they call those places now?

Hillary is the trailer trash. She's been crooked since the day she moved in the the AK governor's mansion - actually, even before that.

Yet not a single insane change has made it past the accusation state. No indictments, no trials, no convictions.

Trump has paid multiple millions of dollars to satisfy the criminal claims against him.

Ah, so then you have no reason for the voters of AK not to vote for Moore.

“We’re not stupid people”

Perhaps.

But those who voted for Trump are.

And that this is a legitimate concern is further evidence in support of the fact Trump is unfit to be president.

Actually the biggest reason the voters of AK shouldn't vote for Roy Moore.

,AK, Alaska,

Moore isn't on the Alaskan senate ballot.

Well, then, they should not vote for Moore unless the Alt Right are trucking them in to vote fraudulently.

If it got rid of liberals and Democrats giving the entire country the Fukashima treatment would be worth it. The United States needs to be sterilized of the concepts and influence.

Wow, you are an angry person. I think you seriously need help.

No joe...

the reason this discussion is happening is because there are certain posters on this board that are so pissed Trump won, they will make up any scenario, edit and twist any statement, to make him look worse than he is.

The only person making Trump look bad is Trump.

Trump is America cutting off its nose to spite it's face.

Trump is a Hot Head especially when he is insulted ( to a point of mental illness ) which makes him a dangerous man with the nukes..

Based on what? Your partisan BS?

This asinine idea that Trump is going to launch nuclear strikes on a whim is beyond idiotic and nothing more than partisan bullshit. No different than the right worrying about Obama's brown shirts.

Where have you been for the last year..lol .. It is well known even with the GOP how Trump responds after being insulted..
He uses twitter to do his revenge and it started way before his presidency.

.

Yes, we know how he responds and to date that response has not included anything remotely related to military action let alone nuking another country.

If you think that a twitter response and a nuclear strike are related then you had better lock yourself in a bunker. Over half the nation might come over and shoot you based on their outbursts on social media.

Right off an undisciplined pseudo officer needs to be removed.

“We’re not stupid people,” nuclear commander Gen. John Hyten said at a forum Saturday.

The top nuclear commander in the U.S. said Saturday that he would reject an “illegal” nuclear attack order from President Donald Trump, and would instead steer the commander in chief to other “options.”

“If you execute an unlawful order, you will go to jail,” Air Force Gen. John Hyten told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia. “You could go to jail for the rest of your life.”

Hyten, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command who oversees America’s nuclear arsenal, spoke at a forum titled “Nukes: The Fire and the Fury,” as recorded in a video on the event’s Facebook page. He didn’t define what exactly would constitute an illegal launch order. But Hyten said he has been trained for the past 36 years in the law of armed conflict, and mentioned the consideration of such elements as proportional response and unnecessary suffering that would be caused by such a conflagration.

In the event Trump suggests an illegal strike, Hyten described a scenario in which he would present Trump with legal choices.

“I provide advice to the president. He will tell me what to do,” Hyten said. “And if it’s illegal, guess what’s going to happen? I’m going to say, ‘Mr. President, that’s illegal.’ And guess what he’s going to do? He’s going to say, ‘What would be legal?’ And we’ll come up with options... a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that’s the way it works. It’s not that complicated.”

“I think some people think we’re stupid,” he said. “We’re not stupid people. We think about these things a lot. When you have this responsibility, how do you not think about it? What people forget is that this is a military mission and military function.”

In congressional testimony earlier this month, retired Gen. Robert Kehler, who served as the head of Strategic Command from 2011 to 2013, also said that the military is only obligated to follow legal orders.

The forum Saturday included a video that showed scenes of nuclear devastation beneath the song “We’ll Meet Again” ― the same music used at the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 antiwar film “Dr. Strangelove,” which famously ends with a nuclear holocaust. Hyten said he has seen the movie nearly half a dozen times.

Well, that should make some of us a little less nervous - if it's true.

Who do you work for?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The American people?

This is NOTHING but liberal propaganda intended to lift liberal hatred and fear. What the general said applies to any POTUS.

Yes, thank you Captain Obvious. The notable difference, in this case, is a Republican-controlled Congress expressing fear of the incompetence and poor judgment of a Republican President, thus feeling compelled to review these procedures to lessen his ability to fuck us all over.

You mean the RINO's......

Riiiight....all elected by RINOs too, right? At some point, you freaks are going to come to the realization that YOU are the freaks, not "everyone else"... if you haven't already....

Unhinged behavior....
