Nuclear weapons. [View all]

I started watching a Netflix show about a missile launch aimed at the U.S.

Of course, I've been aware how frightening it is that Trump has the nuclear codes.

I never thought about what the response would be if a country attacked US! Can you imagine? With Hegseth firing our top military officers, and Trump choosing the response?

I practically had a panic attack. I'll just have to try not to think about it.
