This incident is a spectacular Trump failure and I'm terrified of how he'll try to compensate. For this one, shouting about emails and fake news won't cover up how he's stunk up the joint.

I was just reading that the military can disobey an unlawful order — and I've have to say lobbing nukes into the Korean peninsula, endangering not just the populations of North Korea but South Korea, Japan, Russia, and other countries as well in the region would be an unlawful order.

Saner heads will have to prevail.

One good thing about the incident is that it exposes further trump's dangerous instability, hopefully enough for the craven repugs in congress to finally realize they have to move to get him out.
