when trump took power and he started flexing his nuke power, i heard an interview on the radio that stuck with me. they were interviewing a former high up military guy from the US and asking them about checks and balances when it comes to launching a nuke. the guy said the system is not designed for checks and balances, it's designed for expediency. pretty scary stuff.
