"Trump Just Approved the Nuclear Option — And There's No Going Back Now"

Col. Douglas Macgregor:
"Trump Just Approved the Nuclear Option - 
And There's No Going Back Now"
"Colonel Douglas Macgregor addresses what he calls the most serious development of this entire conflict: credible reports that President Trump has approved the nuclear option for operational consideration. Col. Macgregor breaks down what "approved for consideration" actually means inside the national security decision-making process - and why the distance between that threshold and actual use is far smaller than most people believe. He examines the specific weapons being discussed, the ideological actors driving the conversation, the failure of institutional checks, and the escalation modeling that the people pushing this option are ignoring. Three historical parallels - Korea 1950, Cuba 1962, Vietnam 1968 - illuminate exactly how this kind of decision gets made and what stops it. His most urgent analysis to date. The threshold has not been crossed. But time is running out."
