This is just fucking unbelievable.

🚨NATSEC HYSTERIA ALERT🚨

POTUS having a nuclear dick-measuring contest with Kim Jong Un on Twitter.

🚨EMBRACE APOCALYPSE🚨

PET CATS. CONSUME PIE.

These sorts of batshit announcements by Trump will not help with holding together ROK-US alliance & decoupling issues.

Carol Cohn’s classic (free!) article “Sex and Death in the World of Defense Intellectual” has just become a must read for 2018.

Trump is really making the case for the importance of gender-informed critique to NATSEC

At least Nixon only slurred this sort of crazed nuclear bullshit at congress, not on Twitter.

Speaking of which, know who has the power to put an end to Trump’s increasingly unhinged and dangerous reign?

🎶Congress🎶

If you were a hedge state or potential proliferator or an ally of the US, how might Trump’s nuclear threats impact your beliefs about the context, fungibility, & values of nuclear weapons? 🤔

Outstanding read from @nktpnd on Trump, nuclear deterrence, and the folly of his nuclear dick waving:

“Rationality” has always been a fundamental weak point with nuclear deterrence theory in real life.

Also, fucking hell, the author of this cartoon was able to clearly see the logical end of a person’s well established behavior patterns.

Setting aside the issue of imminent apocalypse, we need to talk about impact of Trump’s impulsive nuclear behavior on crisis stability (DPRK, RF, PRC) and hedge/near-proliferators (ROK, Iran, Japan).

Thanks to @ilovaussiesheps for tonight’s anxiolytic and delicious pecan pie.

Thanks also to Pfizer for their great work in creating Xanax.

Remember the time during the campaign that Trump defended the size of his penis? 🤔

As an anthropologist (in training) researching socio-cultural engagement with nuclear weapons, this Trump stuff has been great for producing data.
