I think most people on here are frustrated with the “sanewashing” by most media outlets.

The drumbeat of “ableism” is more of a bell ringing to make sure that people understand that Krasnov is very unwell and seriously unfit for any decision making position.

Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.

Krasnov

Wat?

Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.

Oh, I forgot that Truman, the only person in history to actually use nuclear weapons, famously only did so because he had depression. Or he was a perfectly mentally well person who was also a racist to the extent that he didn’t care about the lives of Japanese children. One of those. I always get it confused.

Anyway, the answer to who I would loan a gun to and who should be capable of launching a nuclear strike is the same: no one. But I would trust your averaged depressed person with the nuclear codes more than I would Trump. To be clear: if Trump has a mental illness, that is not the thing that is wrong with him. What’s wrong with him is that he’s a fascist.
