| Thema: Fire and fury, and, frankly, power | Antwort auf: Horse Race! US Wahlen 2016 von Liyah | |
| Nur zur Erinnerung - jetzt, wo klar ist, dass der Wahnsinnige das nukleare Säbelrasseln ohne jegliche Rücksprache mit seinen Militärberatern einfach so mit verschränkten Armen in seinem verdammten Golfklub sitzend rausgehauen hat und im Nachgang jeder, jeder seiner Sprecher widersprüchliche Aussagen in die Kameras lallte - hier der Ablauf im Fall des Falles und wer im System der Checks & Balances dem Opa den Finger vom roten Knopf nehmen könnte. Only the President can direct the use of nuclear weapons by U.S. armed forces, including the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP). While the President does have unilateral authority as commander-in-chief to order that nuclear weapons be used for any reason at any time, the actual procedures and technical systems in place for authorizing the execution of a launch order requires a secondary confirmation under a two-man rule, as the President's order is subject to secondary confirmation by the Secretary of Defense. If the Secretary of Defense does not concur, then the President may in his sole discretion fire the Secretary. The Secretary of Defense has legal authority to approve the order, but cannot veto it. Jepp. Keiner. Edit - und NK stichelt weiter: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/08/09/north_korea_responds_to_trump_in_bluster_war_escalation.html Trump successfully personalized the spat and drew an arbitrary red line. “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” The display of unbridled, totally unnecessary machismo may play well with his base, but his base doesn’t have nukes. North Korea does. And North Korea responded to Trump’s red line with another threat the following day. Now what? It’s a rookie mistake of such colossal proportion it’s hard to even know where to start. (...) North Korea, sensing it had struck a nerve with the historically green American president, followed up Wednesday by taunting that Trump “let out a load of nonsense about ‘fire and fury’ ” and “sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him.” ***Diese Nachricht wurde von membran am 10.08.2017 13:55 bearbeitet.*** |
