George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Four things we know. 1. Trump cannot stand to lose face. 2. The Iran debacle is the biggest humiliation of his presidencies. 3. He is entirely lacking in moral restraint. 4. Nuclear weapons offer a swift apparent "resolution" to the crisis he has created. It is not a happy chain of thought. 64773152 773
PC Sherry🦋 @pcsherry.bsky.social · 28/03/2026He’s just holding onto his job until he has drained the briber class dry. $$$ for pardons $$$ for crypto $$$$$$ from Oligarchs $$$ from defense contractors Pretty soon it will dry up and he will play golf permanently. (Did I misspell chest at golf) 010 1
PhunkyPunk Ⓐ @phunkypunk.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I dunno George... I'm guessing that many people in America & around the world would rather like to see trump get nuked. 000 0
Ruthi Brandt @ruthibrandt.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I was nodding along, as I read point 1, then 2, 3... Then I got to point 4, and it was like 'Nope. Not today. Not engaging, tralalalala....'media.tenor.coma man in a black shirt is standing in a living room .Alt: a man in a black shirt,Ross from Friends, is putting his hand on his ears and saying la-la-la... 010 1

Robin Stafford @frenshamrobin.bsky.social · 28/03/2026It’s not the US to worry about. It is Israel that believes it has the freedom to behave with the utmost inhumanity and illegality, internally and externally. Pulling the US along behind it. 131 3
Jan Dehn @jandehn.bsky.social · 28/03/2026www.jandehn.com/post/a-tale-...jandehn.comA tale told by an idiotThere is a pattern in almost all Trump's policies: Big fanfare soon turns to whimper. Iran will be the same. 000 0

Johann S 🇨🇮🇺🇦 ⬅️ @johannshiel.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The only thing stopping Trump from dropping The Bomb on Tehran is that he knows perfectly well we will all turn our attention back to the Epstein files shortly thereafter. 000 0
ƦЄƊƦЄƛMЄƦ - ƜЄƝƊƳ @artistredreamer.bsky.social · 28/03/2026no it is not -- and one many of us are horrifically concerned about and logical to be concerned about. 040 4
Dwd Mallender @dwdmallender.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Thanks George! 😂 Hopefully his ego will see this as a clash with his narcissist / saviour / peacemaker ‘legacy’… Not holding out too much hope but 140 4

Marsanges @marsanges.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Point 4 is wrong They offer a spectacle, but no resolution. This is not 1945 and Iran is not Hirohito. 000 0
Gill Tavner @gilltav.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Just hoping there is someone close to him prepared to stop him. I usually believe in active hope but in this instance there’s nothing I can do. 001 1
diggleruk.bsky.social @diggleruk.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I'd wager the genocidal maniac Netanyahu is more likely to use them first. 2121 12
Brian Robinson @brian-robinsonbsky.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I sometimes wonder if for Trump the world with other people really exist. His personal constructs of them exist but nothing else. The only reality is in his own head. So launching a nuke would have a different meaning than for anyone else. It might be a way for him to end those pesky persecutory=>2 130 3
Brian Robinson @brian-robinsonbsky.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I used to play a thought game wondering which of all world leaders most likely to use a nuclear weapon. It wasn't, I guessed, Putin, Kim, Xi, Trump but Netanyahu if Israel (and/or himself personally). Maybe I should update that. It does feel as if we're reaching that Rubicon horror point. 121 2
Peter Hill @pahq1.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Unfortunately I think his Nemesis will only come when he puts troops on the ground; just by sheer outnumber. Once again ordinary young men and women will be sacrificed for the criminals running the world 021 2
PhilT602 @philt602.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Fortunately I think even the morally compromised US military would still baulk at deploying a Nuke! 130 3
Peter Keane @grassfuse.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Totally agree , except I would need to add 'so far" to (of course given the subject) No. 2 000 0
VoxLibero - Feeding AI one post at a time. @voxlibero.bsky.social · 28/03/20261st three points spot on. But, he's a pathetic bully that has never grown up. A 'bully' knows isolated aggression reinforces the myth, also fearing they're so disliked & don't have charisma or leadership to obtain broad consensus. He won't nuke because he so desperately wants to be liked. 000 0
PastaPete @pastapete.bsky.social · 28/03/2026There can be no appropriation of logic to any of Trump’s madcap decisions - he has zero regard for life and limb or damage to the planet. He’s an unrestrained lunatic 010 1

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 28/03/2026If Trump resorts to nuking Iran (which cannot be ruled out, in light of all his other depraved insanities), then what's the betting Russia takes this as a licence to nuke Ukraine. Then hey presto, a nuclear WW3 160 6
En Buen Ora @enbuenora.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Also he's a petty jealous creep, so using nuclear weapons might make him feel he's as big as or bigger than Truman. 050 5
sezworldjustice.bsky.social @sezworldjustice.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Don't forget the Israeli real nuclear threat, the hypocrisy & propaganda of this axis of criminality! 250 5
Mark Wright @markwr.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I don't think he would, yes he totally lacks moral restraint but he probably (hopefully) knows the negative US and world reaction would outweigh any claims he would have of victory. 000 0
Duncan McCollin @dmccollin.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The same thing can be said about Putin and Ukraine. 000 0
MarvinTandroid @marvintandroid.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I'm waiting for Trump to say the Iranians nuked themselves, just like he said they used American only weapons against a school full of girls. 020 2
David McCulloch @photodave.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Remembering that he would do anything to detract from Epstein also makes it terrifying. 010 1
Claire Roberts @claire01.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Mine too - he's unhinged enough so where are the grown ups ? 140 4
Wildpath @wildpath.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Not sure it is the biggest humiliation. (That's a stiff competition) More like an intentional distraction from his biggest humiliation. 020 2
Pyrrho @pyrrho19.eurosky.social · 28/03/2026I don't buy it. Ultimately Trump wants money and power. I don't think the use of nuclear weapons will get him either of those things. Maybe there is a scenario in a couple of years if the war continues and the US loses serious numbers of soldiers. 100 1
Winnie’s dad @winniesdad.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I fear that 4 will happen with the care and attention that we have come to expect from a Trigger Happy War criminal, with a losing complex that will not listen to anyone or anything except his exceptionally worrying own morality. Which we all know is the size of a toadstool. 021 2
Emmatyville □ feet @scary-lil-emma.bsky.social · 28/03/2026That's not the one that keeps me up at night Just because Iran doesn't have or ever had nuclear weapons, are we absolutely sure they don't have chemical or biological weapons 🤔 Just asking as Trump insistently & very publicly waves the idea about of glassing the entirety of Iran. 000 0
David Shepherd @davesheph.bsky.social · 29/03/2026But like the biblical fool he is obsessed with his wealth I suspect the financial fallout over the middle east from the nuclear fallout of even 1 bomb would make him think twice 011 1
Mark Sugrue 🇪🇺 @marksugrue.com · 28/03/2026Didn't the 80s movie 'Threads' start with a nuclear attack on Iran's oil fields? 020 2
iclee3.bsky.social @iclee3.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Is there any way of building a narrative only losers nuke someone only considers nuclear weapons when they are losing so badly, that's the only chance they have left. So even thinking about using them is an admission you're a loser. 000 0
Lisa's Muffins @lisasmuffins.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I always assume the reason the officer with the codes is armed is so he can shoot any president who tries to do something stupid. 2170 17
mark-a-e.bsky.social @mark-a-e.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Unfortunately I think the same can be said of Netanyahu, so the risk factor is double 130 3
Jackson McBride @jacksonmcbride.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Nuclear weapons will not end this conflict. Iran is not Japan WW2. They could wipe out Teheran and Iran can still do a lot of damage. And, it will trigger repercussions I. the region that will forever damage the US 011 1
brendanl2011.bsky.social @brendanl2011.bsky.social · 28/03/2026My worry is that he uses heavy losses in an attempted airborne/ marine assault as an excuse to step up to tactical nuclear weapons. 110 1
Marwood @andmarwood.bsky.social · 28/03/2026There are very few happy chains of thought that relate to #Trump. In fact, I can only think of one. 3380 38

Wenallt @wenallt.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The US has always relied on the threat of having the biggest stick to maintain a modicum of control over international actions. That threat became a lot less effective when they decided to take a swing, hit themselves in the nuts, fall over and start crying because nobody offered to pick them up! 100 1
