Former congresswoman and Trump ally says Washington is weighing nuclear escalation as its conventional weapons stocks run low

In this case I believe MTG, we are headed for a nuclear war… and if and when the US drops a nuclear bomb on Iran, it is highly likely russia will respond by dropping a nuclear bomb on Ukraine in my opinion.

See this article from the Bulletin Of The Atomic for somebody else other than batshit crazy MTG warning that the US or Israel using nuclear weapons on Iran is a very real possibility.

    The effects of these weapons cannot be understated, and there are people now high up in the US nuclear chain of command who are either too stupid or too crazy to fully grasp the implications of their use.

    What scares me the most is these people understand one thing very well, if they drop a nuclear bomb on Iran it will obliterate any previous nuance to this war and make their political lives far easier, it will also help Putin by giving him effective permission to use a nuclear weapon on Ukraine, and Putin is Trump’s daddy.

      It would almost certainly trigger extreme sanctions against the US by most of the world. Iran’s demands for regime change in the US would become the world’s demands.

      I suspect Putin would use it to negotiate and get a good deal to end the Ukraine war.
