The head of Strategic command of the US forces was somewhat reassured people who fear a nuclear war. He stated that he will not perform the order for the use of weapons of mass destruction, if Donald trump will give it to illegal. He added that he had repeatedly thought of this development.
About the position the US armed forces General John Khayten said during a speech at the Forum on international security in Halifax, Canada.
A military official assured by defining the illegality of the order of nuclear attack, it will resist the will of the commander.
Hatin explained that it is foreseen by the principles of interaction between him and the President. In a conflict situation General advises Donald trump, and the one giving the orders. In the case of illegality the latest official reports about this and consider alternative options.
Questions to Hatena occurred against a background of growing concern to the international community the possibility of a nuclear strike on the US initiative. Worried about it not only abroad but also in America. Some senators even consider it necessary to limit the nuclear powers of the President. On Tuesday, the Senate Committee on foreign relations held its first hearings on this issue, but so far lawmakers have not come to a unanimous decision.
During the meeting, the former head of Strategic command, States Robert Koehler noted that the military have the right to refuse the President in the event of illegal disposal of nuclear attack — thus he confirms the words of his followers.
