We all know that Mike Pence (Groveler-in-Chief) had to abort his trip last week to return immediately to the White House. Despite questions, the White House has stonewalled in giving us an answer.
We also know Russia had a submarine disaster that same morning.
I would suspect the standard drill is to convene a war planning group whenever anything unexpected happens in the Russian military, or the North Korean military, etc.
So, what if?
What if Trump is so unstable that the leaders have taken away his codes to launch nuclear weapons? What if that responsibility has been passed to Pence? Personally, I would have no problem with that. Trump is unstable. Do you really want him to have the ability to start a nuclear war at 2:00 AM after a Doritos-inspired nightmare?
So, in my fever-induced dream, Pence had to rush back because we had to be prepared in case the Russians did something stupid.
If you think about it, it makes sense. There were rumors that McMaster and the Marine General former Chief of Staff (can’t remember his name) had told the military leadership to take no action on Presidential order without clearing it with them. Maybe they took it a step farther.
Just food for thought.
