There is a mutual defense pact between Iran & Russia. Our tactical nukes are 1/20 to 1/100 the size of Russian 'tactical' nukes. MAD would be triggered.

Who the hell is making this claim.

It would be a damned stupid story to spread if it’s from “sources close to” or “experts” or “someone in the know”.
Unconscionable if that’s the deal. Somebody’s ass needs to grow the hell up if this is what it’s come to. And possibly go to jail.

the only asking for proof, instead of screaming that it’s the end of the world.
Let’s have more introspection and less panic, until there’s one iota of evidence.

Color me skeptical, at best.
Not saying trump wouldn’t do it, but he has a history of backing down after blowing his load. Until I hear something more credible from a credible source, I’ll remain skeptical.
