ATTENTION: The NUCLEAR OPTION or which option should be taken OFF the table.Gen Flynn’s 2/2 SITREP 21st Jun 2025:
It is often said that a military commander should leave all options for military action on the table until the final decision is made.
In fact, I’ve stated many times that in warfare, the best plan provides the most options right up until the last moment.
This strategy has the benefit of keeping the enemy off balance, not knowing what to expect.
Yet this strategy also has drawbacks, and I want to address why I believe that at this historic moment in the war between Isreal and Iran, the drawbacks far exceed the benefits, for one of those options.
First, I am deeply concerned by today’s article in @Newsweek entitled “Is Donald Trump Considering Tactical Nukes Against Iran5”
This issue has been raised because some former military officials have speculated on Cable News shows that only through the use of tactical nuclear weapons would we be able to successfully penetrate underground enrichment facilities in Iran.
The Newsweek article quoted a Fox News report that a White House official said that the Trump Administration has “not taken anything ‘off the table’ including the use of tactical nuclear weapons.”
NUCLEAR WEAPONS6
It deserves restating that tactical nuclear weapons
ARE nuclear weapons.
This type of reporting was taken very seriously by Russia, causing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov to state the obvious — that any use of tactical nuclear weapons by the United States in Iran would be a catastrophic development.
PAKISTAN
A few days ago, Pakistan, a well-armed nuclear power, threatened to drop nuclear weapons on Israel if Israel used nuclear weapons on Iran.
I believe Pakistan is not making an idle threat, and I do not want our country to be responsible for the destruction of Israel.
SHUT AND NAIL DOWN THE TOP ON THE PANDORA’S BOX
This type of talk must end.
BANNON10: @kayleighmcenany ’s infantile line, “we can take out Fordow with one swoop of an airplane” is dangerous. THAT IS ON @FoxNews all day. Why do you not think they’re representing a foreign government? @seanhannity, @marklevinshow, the whole crowd. There should be an investigation.
Tensions in the world are already high enough, and leaving the use of nuclear weapons “on the table” is preserving an option that I believe the United States would never employ.
But allowing such open discussion about the US initiating the use of nuclear weapons puts everyone at risk.
As, long as this possibility exists, other countries will be developing plans to counter-strike — using nuclear weapons. When nuclear weapons are in play, even as a matter of speculation, the possibility of mistakes and miscalculations exists.
The first casualties of a mistake or miscalculation would be American troops on Middle East bases and American ships in the region -- but it would not end there. Nuclear weapons have not been employed since World War II (I recognize they were atomic, but smart readers will get the point), and we cannot afford for this conflict to move the world “up the nuclear escalation ladder.”
If I were advising the President, I would recommend in the strongest possible terms that he declare that the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
I would not recommend waiting two weeks to make that announcement; I would urge him to do this now. It is time to slam shut and nail down the top on the; Pandora’s box that contains dreaded nuclear weapons. END Sitrep 1/2
ATTENTION: What are the advantages for Russia & China if there is a delayed decision by the United States?Gen Flynn’s 1/2 SITREP 20th Jun 2025:
First, I have no definitive evidence confirming specific actions by Russia or China during this upcoming period. This analysis is based on personal experience. However, there is clear evidence of previous & long-term support by both nations for the Iranian regime. In war, delays usually advantage the defender & allow time to improve their position (tactical & strategic)
RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC BENEFITS:
1. The primary advantage to a delay provides a great distraction & diverts American attention & resources from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
2. By Trump canceling a meeting w/ Zelensky to focus on the Middle East, Russia may face less U.S. pressure on its actions in Ukraine.
3. Russia will use this time to strategically consolidate, gain political & diplomatic capital by acting as an international broker through organizations like the UN.
4. Tactically, this period allows Russian military forces to consolidate, reorganize, refit &, if necessary, be replaced. Essentially, Russian military commanders, if smart (& they are), will consolidate & reposition their forces to gain positional advantage.
5. Russia could use the delay to bolster IR's air defenses, potentially supplying advanced systems like the S-400 or other military support. Doing so would enhance IR's resilience against IS or potential U.S. strikes, aligning w/ Russia's interest in maintaining IR as a key ally. This action is not out of the question. If the U.S. can provide for one side, we must consider the fact that Russia will provide for the other.
6. The conflict has driven a 15% increase in Russian oil prices, benefiting Russia's economy, which relies heavily on energy exports. Guarantee, a prolonged delay only helps Russia's economy & keeps Middle East tensions high further disrupting global oil markets.
CHINA'S STRATEGIC BENEFITS:
1. China clearly sees this as a major opportunity for them to gain vastly more regional influence. China will use this window to expand diplomatic, economic, & military options across the Middle East. Like it or not, they already have far more influence than we truly understand.
2. China will position themselves as a neutral or mediating party (they are anything but).
3. China will strengthen ties with IR & other regional players, countering U.S. dominance in the region. Everyone needs to understand the "region" is really the "trans-region", & we must take into account the Central Asian Republic nations as well East Africa & those nations bordering the Eastern Med. For instance, the Red Sea & the Suez Canal are vital supply lines & must remain open.
4. The war provides a major distraction for Taiwan & will reduce attention on the looming Indo-Pacific theater of war. They will view this as a strategic opening to advance their objectives regarding Taiwan. For instance, increasing military maneuvers or economic pressure, knowing there is less attention or less interference (a high pucker factor in the Indo-Pacific for sure).
5. Prolonged uncertainty in the Middle East could keep oil prices volatile, benefiting China's strategic petroleum reserves or its energy negotiations w/ other suppliers. It would be very wise for America to fill up our strategic oil reserves now.
6. The CCP will capitalize on global market instability to strengthen their position in trade or investment deals.
Gen Flynn’s closes with: Again, there is no direct evidence of Russia or China conducting any of the active measures I'm addressing, but trust, just as we have our situation room busy, Russia & China do as well. Pray for @realDonaldTrump God knows we are experiencing historic times & our readiness as a nation is in a considerably different geo-strategic posture than it was at any other time in the last 100 years.

FAFO, an acronym for 'F— around and find out,' is a slang term used to signify that actions have consequences. It's the verbal equivalent of saying, 'If you mess with the bull, you get the horns. ' The phrase has been used in various contexts to warn people about the repercussions of reckless or provocative behaviour.
{Pucker factor is a military slang phrase used to describe the level of stress and/or adrenaline response to danger or a crisis situation. The term refers to the tightening of the sphincter caused by extreme fear.
The term applies only to an individual's response in a crisis situation; it does not pertain to an individual's stress levels outside of a crisis context.
Pucker factor (PF) is usually quantified on a scale of 1 to 10, with a higher value relating to higher anxiety. That said, neither a low nor a high pucker factor is necessarily good.
A low value reflects an absence of a situationally appropriate stress response, which absence can be symptomatic of psychosis. Persons with low PF may make decisions "like a robot" without considering ethics or the long-term consequences of their actions.
Conversely, if PF is excessive, then the person "puckers" – leading to panic, wherein the person is unable to think clearly and act effectively.}

{A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission or atomic bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear weapon), producing a nuclear explosion. Both bomb types release large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. See url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon }
{A tactical nuclear weapon (TNW); is a nuclear weapon that is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations, mostly with friendly forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory. Generally smaller in explosive power, they are defined in contrast to strategic nuclear weapons, which are designed mostly to be targeted at the enemy interior far away from the war front against military bases, cities, towns, arms industries, and other hardened or larger-area targets to damage the enemy's ability to wage war. NO TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS HAVE EVER BEEN USED IN COMBAT}
{Non-Strategic nuclear weapons: Focus on battlefield targets, with shorter ranges and lower yields, though some weapons (e.g., the B61 bomb) can serve both roles due to variable yield capabilities. | United States: Maintains approximately 230 NSNWs, including about 100 B61 gravity bombs deployed in Europe at NATO bases. The U.S. is modernizing its arsenal with the B61-12 and B61-13 bombs, which have variable yields up to 360 kilotons. Russia: Estimated to have 1,000–2,000 NSNWs, with a focus on short-range missiles like the Iskander and cruise missiles. Russia’s doctrine includes potential limited nuclear use for deterrence or coercion. | Other Countries: China, France, India, Pakistan, and North Korea also possess weapons that could be classified as non-strategic, though definitions vary. For example, France considers all its nuclear weapons strategic. }
{Strategic Nuclear Weapons: They aim to win wars by destroying an enemy’s capacity to fight. A strategic nuclear weapon (SNW) is a nuclear weapon that is designed to be used on targets often in settled territory far from the battlefield as part of a strategic plan, such as military bases, military command centers, arms industries, transportation, economic, and energy infrastructure, and countervalue Target an enemy’s homeland (e.g., cities, industrial centers) with higher yields (100 kilotons to megatons) and long-range delivery systems like intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or strategic bombers. It is in contrast to a tactical nuclear weapon, which is designed for use in battle as part of an attack with and often near friendly conventional forces, possibly on contested friendly territory. As of 2025, strategic nuclear weapons have been used twice in the 1945 United States bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.}
