Desperation in Defeat

Clown World appears to be losing any sense of perspective as its grasp on global power continues to slip away. None of these reports can be considered highly reliable, but there do appear to be some signs that we may be on the verge of finding out if nukes are real or not.

On Saturday night, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force general Dan Caine stormed out of an emergency meeting with Trump. Insiders indicate that Trump wanted to evoke the nuclear codes as a deterrence against Iran during the ceasefire talks in Islamabad. But General Caine refused and invoked the US Uniform Code of Military Justice, the UCMJ, claiming specifically Article 92, covering Failure to Obey. Inside the military we call that the “duty to refuse” clause, that if given an unlawful order, we have a duty to refuse… Apparently, the Joint Chiefs of Staff went ahead and invoked the Article 92 clause.

If true, this gives us some comfort that the military, at least, has not become quite as deranged as our politicians.

Just remember, it was the Joint Chiefs of Staff who proposed Operation Northwoods in the 60s in which US citizens would be murdered, blown up, etc with all the blame falling on Castro and Cuba, all to justify war with them. Nothing fundamentally has changed about that group of warmongers, even if the people have.

No bias in this article. Where did this intel come from?

  Intel is suspect, at the very least. I highly doubt that Dan Caine would STORM out of a meeting. Given all the AI and ability to make anything look and feel real, I look at everything with the “72 hour” rule in mind.
  If it’s still being reported and has “legs”, then perhaps there’s something to it.

    There is no verifiable intel to support this account concerning the nuclear codes.

    For those who failed to read the entire article, Vox wrote, “Could be legit, could be cover for invoking the removal of the Short Fat Trump, could be both, or it could be fake.”

Vox: “Probably a lie, publish it anyway. The morons will link to it and amplify it for us.”

Fun choice of word too, “evoke”.

I know exactly how “storming out of a meeting” works with a civilian boss running it, and I know how that works in a military setting too. From the inside in both cases.

Be ready to resign in both cases. In the latter, don’t be surprised if JAG wants a sit down in their office later. Respect for rank isn’t an optional component of the UCMJ.
