I spent all day today wondering if the sitting President of the United States would use nuclear weapons on a country of 90 million people—the vast majority of whom he claims to be liberating—just because he’s angry over that totalitarian regime thoroughly embarrassing him over his unnecessary, illegal, and disastrous war of choice.

Just as our country was waking up to go to our jobs and take our kids to school and run errands and do all the typical things that need to be done on a Tuesday morning, Trump dangled this threat:

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”

He threatened nuclear strikes because he isn’t getting his way in a war that never should have been escalated in the first place.

I spent all day talking to colleagues and friends about what this could mean and wondering what needs to be done to put a stop to this because—surprise—we take it seriously when a deeply unstable person with the power to launch nuclear weapons claims he will do so.

I wondered why so many people in politics and media are apparently unaware that POTUS has sole authority over the launch of nuclear weapons and does not need clearance from Congress or the courts—even for a preemptive strike—and the only thing standing between Trump and that decision are his military commanders maybe, hopefully—who the hell is certain anymore—refusing that order.

I watched as too many journalists—so fearful are they of offending their Access Daddy and his acolytes—pretended that this threat reflective of a brain-addled, narcissistic sociopath was another political parlor game to be navigated with musings on what Democrats should be doing while Republicans are running the whole goddamn show.

I watched as yet more journalists chirped about their bullshit phone calls with Trump, which were, per usual, entirely neutered of meaningful substance.

I watched as so much of the left side of the American political spectrum bickered and bitched with each other and were at each other’s throats over what should be done while we’re out of power, just as Trump was betting and hoping we would.

I wondered if tonight would be the beginning of a broader war with nuclear weapons that would throw the world into violent chaos from which we’d never recover.

You ask me if I’m relieved over this supposed “two-week ceasefire” as Trump yet again postpones his ultimatums, manipulates markets to enrich himself and his cronies, and needlessly scares the shit out of the American people and the world?

No, I am not relieved. I am angry. I am enraged. The thoughts going through my head at this very moment cannot be uttered.

This is not sustainable. We should not have to live in perpetual fear like this.
