Trump’s nuclear threats fall under the category of continuing conduct of the war.
Continuing the discussion from Who in America is actually happy about the Trump/politics situation today?, there is a response to someone alleging that, " Most of us were afraid Trump was going to set off Armageddon."
Basically agree that most were not - though smart experts were worried about this, if “This” refers to nuclear war. See my previous posts about nuclear expert Tom Nichols. Substitute in the word genocide for Armageddon and add strategic expert Phillips P O’Brien to the list.
I’m not saying that nukes were probable on Monday: I am claiming that this wasn’t a lizardman concern, but rather something that received condemnation from a wide variety of informed commentators.
Technicality: nobody informed was worried about an imminent nuclear exchange - though one European diplomat commented that he preferred TACOs to WWIII.
