Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

      No? It was never on the table, considering US and Israel’s history, was it?

      But US coming face off? And even their loyal vassal states not touching the shit you get into.

      Yea, can’t hide those war crimes behind the world police and hollywood “good guys” facade anymore. Scum

      It’s too bad your favorite cop thought supporting a genocide was more important than winning the election. Alas, your candidate was shit.

        I’d argue the people who thought their smug self righteousness was more important are shit myself.

        But hey, now we all get to live in this hell right? Or not live I guess.

          Let me get this straight

          refusing to stop supporting genocide: not shit

          refusing to support a genocide: shit

          If you just have to take whatever crap politicians shove down your throat instead of making demands of them why do you care about anything Trump does. If you love the boot that much then shut up and take it.

          Sorry for being ‘self righteous’ about a literal genocide you fucking ghoul. If you’re unwilling to exercise electoral leverage to stop a genocide then just abandon the entire concept of democracy. It is not the left’s fault that Kamala and the DNC thought the genocide must continue at all costs.

            Not voting says you are happy for either candidate to win, not that you want neither to win. If you want that option, campaign for PR. What is your plan to get rid of Trump now?

            Voting against Hitler isn’t garbage because those in opposition could have influenced Harris or used their intact democracy to work on the issue by primaring dems.

              Yeah but they saved gaza!

              Only they didnt. If anything their efforts have started to associate anti-genocide with a disaster like trump and practically guarantee people either switch off in disgust of their rethoric or just jump to the other side to avoid all the tankie bullshit.

                So you’re saying your party is so pro-genocide that they can’t even convince people they meet Republican moral standards, which basically don’t exist.

              1. Organizations other than the CIA are capable of distributing food and vaccines

              2. Maybe harris should have thought it was worth not supporting a genocide to prevent that then.

              You guys still haven’t caught on that you’re missing the core of this. There were 2 groups that refused to budge which allowed trump to take power. One group refused to support a genocide, one group refused to stop supporting a genocide.

              So how the fuck are libs more mad about the anti-genocide group for refusing to budge? Seems worth being stubborn about to me, you know, if you think genocide is bad.

              I would have maybe a single ounce of sympathy for the lib side of this argument if the stakes were lower. ‘You don’t always get everything you want’ is a hell of a lot more convincing if the left had refused to play ball over healthcare reform or something. But jesus christ ‘don’t do genocide’ is the lowest possible bar to clear and Kamala still refused.

                Harris isn’t responsible for how we vote that is our and only our responsibility.

                They did the beat job providing a convincing platform they knew how obviously insufficient but she like us got one vote

                  Harris is absolutely responsible for her platform being pro-genocide what are you on about. It is the candidate’s job to appeal to voters, all she offered to the left was ‘I’m not him so you have to vote for me’. Turns out we didn’t have to. I’m not going to leave the house to maybe get 99% hitler with 1% handwringing instead of 100% hitler.

        He’s right! That Communist Kamala would have sided with Israel and gaza would be nothing more than a pile of rubble.

        If it wasn’t for Trump, both the Ukraine war and the Israeli war on Gaza would still be happening! Fuck think of all the dogs and the cats he’s saved in Bumfuck Nebraska from those immigrants!

          One note Gaza Gaza Gaza. I don’t hear you fucks ever talk about all the other suffering in the world due to Trump and his regime, just Gaza.

          Almost like your arguments are all bullshit and you’re just shills for all parties who want to tear down the Western world.

          If you were eligible to vote in the US general election, and you didn’t vote for Harris in November, you helped Trump win. Simple as that.

            ‘just shut up about the genocide I wanted to ignore’ No. Everything trump has done so far still pales in comparison to Gaza.

            Unless your only barometer for suffering is how much MSM talks about something I don’t see how you could think otherwise. Yeah ICE is evil, not tens of thousands of murdered children evil. Certainly not when we would still have ICE anyway even if Kamala won.
