Targeting civilian power plants unless there is a specific military objective is defined as a war crime under the Geneva Convention.
This is not hypothetical. A number of former Yugoslavian military leaders were sentenced to life in prison by an international tribunal for attacks on civilian infrastructure. Bosnian president Slobodan Milošević was indicted but died in jail before trial.
Any American commanders who issue such orders will likely be unable to leave the country for fear of arrest.

He thinks that a year ago the military wouldn’t carry out orders. Of course, he doesn’t give a support for his opinion.

In another major escalation, we may lose another ~7 million barrels of daily oil supply.
A key advisor to Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is now threatening to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
“If the White House thinks of repeating its stupid mistakes, it will quickly realize that the flow of global energy and trade can be disrupted with a single signal,” he said.
On top of the ~7 million barrels of daily oil supply flowing through this Strait, ~22% of global seaborne container trade travels through Bab al-Mandab each year.
Between the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, we could see as much as 25 million barrels in daily oil supply offline.
And, Iran has officially rejected a US proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for temporary ceasefire, per WSJ.
Oil prices are setting up for $120+/barrel.

Isn’t that news from 2024? The majority of Red Sea shipping decided to go around Africa after the Houthis went rogue.

And targeting nuclear power plants and causing another Chernobyl will cause Trump to face world condemnation and retribution from all quarters.

Most everybody is seeing a reality gauge in real time every week when they fill up their car or truck. Doesn’t matter what media they watch or any at all, the pump doesn’t lie.

What!?.
You hate green energy?
Trump is obviously the biggest green energy advocate ever. He simply shut down the use of fossil fuels.
Way better than shutting down that big oil pipeline from Canada.
Woo Hoo! Go green.
