WP: After 9/11, the U.S. built an anti-terror apparatus. Trump is using it at home

  • Global tensions escalate as the administration abandons nuclear treaties with Russia and plans potential conflict with China. Pentagon gaming indicates tactical nuclear weapons use in Iran risks global nuclear winter, threatening billions of lives.
