if the president of the u.s. decides he wants to drop a nuke on a few countries, is there anyone in the u.s. that can stop him?

they let John Hinkley out

Our president has no control over nuclear weapons.
The CIA are the ones to watch out for.
They are the trouble makers of the world.
They even control the armed forces.
This is one of the reasons that our armed forces only
blow the shit out of countries that are unarmed and helpless
Kind of like the mercenaries (police) in this country.

Presidents are only for public show.

TPTB don't really give them access to nukes.

330 million people could. They could revolt overnight and burn the White House down, throw this government completely out on to the streets.

The people have to realize they are the ones who own their own lives and they have the ability to enforce it. They don't have to sit back out of fear of a group of senile goblins with a big red button.

That's what a real insurrection would look like.

It’s been tried before by a peaceful army of veterans who didn’t get paid. They were hammered into submission by troops of regular army.

Sure AF hope so. The aftermath of that ain't gonna be pretty.

I often wonder if that “nuclear football” is nothing more than a bunch of lights and switches, and they don’t actually have that control at all, it’s just for show.

The military has the legal and moral right to decline a order that is illegal/immoral. Is there any such person? I doubt it. We killed in hundred of thousands over a false rumor of WMDs.
