No sovereign nuclear armed state would attempt a Nuclear attack on the United States. Ever.
Even if NK was considering nuking Japan or SK, China would step in and back them down.
You're probably right but if it ever happened, nukes are an option.

bush/cheney have permanently damaged the role congress plays in declarations of war and drumpf is openly disrespectful to paul ryan right now without even being POTUS yetWhy do people think the President operates like a King? The United States is not an authoritarian country, so if Trump threw a hissy fit and said nuke China, the Joint Chiefs aren't just going to go "OK Mr. President, whatever you say." There are checks and balances for a reason. There will be an impeachment before Trump is able to do any of the apocalyptic shyt his detractors constantly harp about. Hillary is the more hawkish candidate because she has intricate knowledge of the American war machine. She's actually been at its helm before and put it into action. It's far more likely that a No-Fly Zone over Syria will be enacted at her behest than a nuclear bomb will be dropped at Trump's behest because some foreign leader insulted him. Remember, the Constitution gives Congress war powers. Yes, recent history has shown the office of the Presidency encroaching on those powers and muddling the definition of war, but the President's ability to take unilateral military action is not unlimited in theory or practice.

It started way before the Bush 43 administration though. The last congressionally sanctioned war was WW2. Then it became congressionally sanctioned "military engagements". And now it's basically UN/NATO sanctioned "military engagements". There was a big discussion around whether or not Obama should have even notified congress about taking action in Libya, and what authority he actually had to take action there. This all speaks to my point about the type of situation where a nuclear bomb would be dropped would have to be a proper War, not a regional conflict. Hillary knows this, so her hawkish policies abide by this new piecemeal "military engagement" framework. Trump still thinks of military conflict in terms of WW2.bush/cheney have permanently damaged the role congress plays in declarations of war and drumpf is openly disrespectful to paul ryan right now without even being POTUS yet![]()
Joe Scarborough is a known trump enabler who has sit on this angle for months. Is Joe still voting for trump?
This is why being even-keeled matters. Because there are extremists you empower with that sort of language.
I dont even care if he's trolling or being serious. Dude is a threat to the world.

What you believe doesn't interest me. Is Joe voting for Hilary?Joe was going off on Trump this morning. After what I heard I can't believe he would still vote for him.
