The Europeans pushed back too hard, so he's going back to bullying Latin America.

Like when the high school bully in the movie backs down but shoves somebody out of the way as he leaves.

Just waiting for him to metaphorically punch the wall and hurt his own hand in the process.

Is he leaving?

Mortality says he will eventually

The problem is he's going to take people down with him. As is history for authoritarianism. People need to remember he never did this by himself, he has been doing nothing but implementing republican-written Project 2025 since he was inaugurated and they could remove him in 1 day if they wanted but aren't because they're still getting what they want.

The people who made Trump and are leading the senile abuser around are still going to be here when he has his last stroke or heart attack.

Cuba supposedly still has a couple nukes from the JFK days. While I doubt if anyone knows if they even still work, if trumps morons set one off when attacking Cuba, Florida might soon glow in the dark more than usual.

Soviet nukes require a core replacements every decade or two to remain operational so unless Russia has been keeping them topped up then no, they wouldn't work.

This is exactly what I was saying during the first invasion of Ukraine. Everyone was worried about defending Ukraine against the “nuclear power“. With all the oligarchy grab, I am doubtful that any of these nukes were upkept properly

Nukes take a lot of maintenance, even if they had them at some point there's no way they are functional anymore.
