@CrypticMirror @Kathmandu @Jer @isaackuo I'm actually kind of mystified as to why Trump hasn't *already* ordered a tactical nuclear strike somewhere. He seems to be Jonesing for one.

@cstross @Kathmandu @Jer @isaackuo The explanation I've come up with is they've given him one of those toys which are a button that lights up when pushed, and just told him it is the nuclear button.

@cstross @CrypticMirror @Kathmandu @isaackuo he seems simultaneously jonesing and terrified of the idea. Which given he lived through the cold war as a rich authoritarian asshole isn't that surprising to me I'm definitely worried that Lindsay Graham is seeing that Jesus could come back before he dies and he's going to push Trump to drop one. His salivating over this war is disturbing
