I like to think if he launched a pre-emptive first strike someone nearby would save the world by taking him out first. I like to think that about any world leader. I know, probably optimism,but I need to sleep at night.
Contrary to this, many countries employe a "Dead Hand" system, essentially if someone does not reset a watchdog timer, the automated system fires nukes
Im gonna throw this out there and its me nitpicking but I feel it's an important distinction, military members are required to follow orders yes but they are also required by military law and united states code to disobey illegal orders. Will that happen, I hope we never have to find out
We already found out, we're finding out every day the military is doing absolutely fuck all about every single blatantly illegal action he takes practically every "waking" hour. If we had a functional military that obeyed and upheld the Constitution they would have frog marched his worthless ass out of the white house months ago.

You think blowing up fishing boats in Venezuela was legal orders? They've been following illegal orders
