    Like I know he’s an absolute drooling psychopath, and many of his followers are cultists, but, like, the women and men protecting him have families. I hope they understand what dropping nukes would mean

      I think they think they’re going to be fine…

    Is this unusual, or does it often move around the country? The article doesn’t say.

      Yeah… I mean if this is a normal thing, then don’t sensationalize it, but if this is not normal we need to know

      These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.

      There’s another article stating that he does actually want to drop a nuke.

        If you read the article, they’re heavily reading into what was actually said by the correspondent. They said nothing is off the table but conventional bunker busters should be enough to destroy the nuclear facility in Iran.

        By the end of the year.

        My guess, US hits Iran, China hits Taiwan, they both point fingers.

          I would think China wouldn’t want to destroy or contaminate Taiwan’s manufacturing facilities.

            I’m sure a certain amount of casualties are acceptable, but yes, you’re right that only the lower class would be eliminated and important assets would be preserved. Just like in Iran. Oil fields, etc.

      I haven’t looked I to the Air Force E-4B, but the Navy’s E-6B has been spotted all over the US. Both are doomsday 747s. There’s multiples of both. I don’t know if it’s actually been spotted on the ground much, though, as opposed to very high flyovers. But it sure feels a lot like the start of Escape from NY

    So after there’s a nuclear doomsday, y’all still want your president around 🤣 That’s so adorable.

      Naw, just move them into publicly traded military contractors not named Boeing. You’ll be making money like its crypto and you’re on the inside.

    First Putin, then Kimmy. But they can use tiny ones, not city murdering ones.
