    Nixon was often so drunk during Watergate crisis that de facto control of nukes was held by Kissinger.https://twitter.com/swin24/status/895044051451482112 …

        He is? I imagine his wife must not be because I'd have to be *really* drunk to even go near him.

        Great. The fate of the world is in Tillerson's hands or Pence. The world is screwed.

        Reading "when I talked to the President he was loaded" in Kissenger's voice is not something I thought would happen tonight

        Shared duties. Kissinger was the one who raised DEF-CON level during Yom Kippur war.

        If Trump gets too drunk or crazy, who'll control the nukes?

        One wonders where McMaster is in this. Cld actually be an "in" to NK (which has been hard to get): backroom talks. "No, of course he wont"

        ...he said hopefully, while wringing sweaty hands (I know I might be grasping at straws but I'm kinda terrified of nuclear war ATM)
