>>No military or political leaders in America have seriously considered using nuclear weapons in my lifetime.
Speaking as someone who would love to pretend that Trump never happened, it's worth remembering that he was asking about nuking hurricanes. Not sure if that counts as 'seriously considered', but it's starting to come out that he was close to ordering a strike on N Korea. This is what we get for electing someone with the impulse control of a four year old. Apologies to the rest of the world.
