Reminder that Trump admin changed the nuclear posture review so that nukes are a recommended response to cyberattacks.

* Iranian cyberattacks now allegedly increasing
* Bolton wants to nuke Iran

I wrote an article in March worrying about this scenario:

Here is an article on the alleged incoming increase in Iranian cyberattacks. Article doesn't note that top cybersecurity position has been gutted by Bolton, allowing for less oversight and transparency.

2013 NYT article notes that Sheldon Adeldon -- the ultra-right wing Zionist GOP megadonor and Netanyahu lackey who is shaping Trump's Middle East policy -- wants a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran.

Bret Stephens, now hired by the NYT, agrees with him.

And now a top nuclear weapons expert at the State Dept -- a career public servant who favors non-proliferation -- has resigned due to Trump's actions on Iran

Now the admin is warning of cyberattacks from Iran, which I warned in May could be used as pretext for Trump/Bolton's desired war with Iran

As I also noted in my May article, the Trump admin changed the nuclear posture review so nukes can be used in response to a cyberattack, which is an extremely dangerous policy.

Now Mattis is making changes to nuke policy to allow even more options:

@nukestrat
1/2 While #NuclearPostureReview authors advocate new low-yield nukes, Pentagon moves to upgrade command and control procedures and continue integration of nuclear and conventional weapons begun during Obama to give president additional strike options. https://t.co/e9CoMnVrcE

Error in previous tweet: I actually predicted this in March, not May. Below is the article that lays out the Iran cyberattack/war scenario, which may be coming to fruition now.

Hopefully it won't.

@sarahkendzior
The announced indictment of Iranian hackers arrived less than 24 hours after John Bolton's appointment.

Bolton may get his long-desired Iran war -- now with nukes, which the Pentagon says can be used to respond to major cyberattacks. https://t.co/2XNQy5bj97 https://t.co/slOlxeZrCp

Netanyahu, who met with Putin shortly before Trump did, is now claiming he orchestrated Trump's departure from the Iran nuclear deal, and that Iran will disappear

Thread on Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, Putin...

@sarahkendzior
Important article on how Netanyahu helped orchestrate Trump-Putin meeting and some of its goals.

Remember that Netanyahu is a long-time friend of the Kushner criminal family, dating back to Jared's childhood. People should dig into ties and finances now. https://t.co/kDwveArLSB https://t.co/5ENoUe9dAZ

Adding this to thread. On Trump's apathy toward loss of US lives:

@sarahkendzior
"If Trump senses he may have to make a personal sacrifice, he will sacrifice the world instead."
