I cannot fathom that two officers in the military, no matter how deranged the government is, would ever agree to turn the key against a domestic target.
I decade ago, I would have thought it was impossible, too. I no longer believe that. There are people in our government who would love to nuke a blue city like Portland, just to prove how scary they are.
Except they’d probably go for a blue state in the NE so the fallout would go to Europe instead of a west coast state where red states would get the fallout. OTOH, we’re starting to see that trump doesn’t give a shit about red states either (cut them off from disaster funding too).
