âWhy isnât there an attempt to remove him from office, like, immediately?â Carlson said. âAnyone who would even tolerate that kind of talk from any of his subordinates or employees is by definition unfit.â

Elbridge Colby, the undersecretary of defense for policy, earlier this month said at a conference that officials are looking to give the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth âcredible, rational nuclear options.â
Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg ârichtig interpretiertâ habe â nĂ€mlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgĂŒltig zu erledigen.
Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt â âkomplett fehlinterpretiertâ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen RĂŒckzug brauche. Schon im MĂ€rz hatte Wilkerson gegenĂŒber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, âsollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussiehtâ.

The start of the review was announced by Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby during a keynote speech Wednesday. In his comments, Colby repeatedly emphasized the term âoptions,â though he stressed that as of right now, he had âno announcement of any kind of changeâ regarding the Pentagonâs nuclear policy.
âThereâs, you know, a review or sort of relook at the employment guidance, which is more about the commander of STRATCOM [Strategic Command] and his responsibilities and [the defense] secretaryâs authorities, etcetera,â he said in Omaha, Neb., during the 2026 Deterrence Symposium. Colby also noted that the review will not be released to the general public.
Colbyâs comments were not publicly broadcast, but a copy of the audio was shared with Breaking Defense.
