While I didn't think he would launch nukes... I didn't think it was a zero percent chance because he's an unstable, overcompensating manbaby.
However, he's also a complete pussy (hence the constant overcompensation) and he would be far more likely to back down.
This injury report, and more importantly, his lying about it, is proof of his cowering and cowardice.
Frighteningly, he's also prone to overreaction after such displays of weakness.
His lies about the harm to our soldiers are not tenable and the possiblity of a later spectacle of an attack has actually gone up in my estimation.
We're in a dangerous place.
