One of the most important rituals on the day of the transfer of power in the United States on January 20 is the delivery of the departing US president to the new president a bag called "Nuclear Football". The bag contains a device and a code for launching nearly two thousand nuclear missiles. These decrees are before the public, and no pictures of them have been published before, due to their confidentiality and extreme danger.

The bag of nuclear symbols - which weighs 20.4 kilograms - is of exceptional and rare importance, and is always close to the US President even on foreign trips, and is carried by a military assistant who always remains close to the president.

President Donald Trump's refusal to acknowledge his defeat in the presidential election so far raises some concerns about what he can do, especially with regard to handing over the nuclear bag to President-elect Joe Biden.

The secrecy of the delivery of the nuclear bag and the absence of any leaks of its pictures - since the United States acquired nuclear weapons at the end of World War II - leads to the emergence of some rumors and conspiracy theories that talk about the lack of this bag in the real world, but a number of journalists and during President Trump's visit to China in 2009 2017 confirmed they saw a marine (Marines) officer carrying the bag and staying not far from Trump.

Polotico correspondent Lara Slingman:


The new defense minister met with the joint leaders and was briefed on the nuclear codes and more.


Adding


that his directives did not indicate any changes in the tasks or any important changes at the present time.


Note:

Authority without limits

If the US President decides to initiate a nuclear attack, he should only issue the order, and constitutionally the Congress or its ministers cannot oppose the decision, and the US Constitution does not contain any provisions that limit the discretionary power of the president, who, as commander in chief of the armed forces, has the authority to order the use of any weapons that the country possesses. .

On the other hand, the Trump campaign - which began on Monday, to get rid of some of the top officials believed to be "completely disloyal," as a former defense official indicated to CNN - has prompted many experts to express their concern over what might be possible. For President Trump to introduce him within the remaining 70 days in office.

Yesterday, Trump dismissed Defense Secretary Mark Esper in a surprise tweet, without explaining the reasons for the decision, at a time when reports indicated that former Minister Esper joined the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Gina Haspel, and the Director of the FBI. The FBI "(FBI) Christopher Ray in agreeing on the need to confront Trump if he breaks the constitutional rules in the next stage.

In an interview with Military News, Esper said that a senior Trump aide told him, "God help us," referring to the president's aides' apprehension about what he might make of decisions.
