      4. During Watergate, Nixon's staff worried that the often drunk & depressed president might launch a nuclear war.

          6. Question is, if only hope for human survival is a military coup, is that a good thing? Isn't there a better way?

          Is the human race worth saving if the best and the brightest insist on getting themselves a tax cut before they remove a threat to humanity?

          I believe that These unelected people took America to Defcon 3 during the Yom Kippur War because Nixon was drunk. Not good.

          Part of me wonders if this has already happened. I could see Mattis and Kelly doing something similar regarding Trump.

          Something about an order to engage in global thermonuclear war & legality strikes me as bizarre. Doesn't Nuremberg say something about this?
