Man, the Trump administration's recklessness really makes people feel like they can just say whatever they want with no consequences.
Apparently, that now extends to the United States military agency tasked with the grim responsibility of overseeing America's stockpile of nuclear weapons.
“#TimesSquare tradition rings in the #NewYear by dropping the big ball...if ever needed, we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger,” tweeted US Strategic Command.
Yes, StratCom.
Hashtag “#Deterrence #Assurance #CombatReadyForce #PeaceIsOurProfession.”
Watch the funny video. It's hilarious.
The military men who have the power to launch nuclear weapons at the command of a Potemkin President's tweeted impulse are making jokes about dropping nukes for New Year's, just because they can.
I'm sure Putin thinks it's all hilarious.
