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.
Sounds like he wants to use the big bombs. I really hope somebody can physically intervene if he goes for the button.
He wants to be known as the man who was “strong enough” to nuke a country into oblivion.
Yep
I’ve been saying this since his first term, but people said that I was overreacting
Genuinely the first thing I thought when he was elected. They’re going to hand this deranged lunatic the codes and he will find any reason to use them just to prove how powerful he is.
And I’ve also been told I was overreacting at every turn, until he did exactly what I said he would do. And then they said I was overreacting about the next thing he ended up doing. “Of course he’s going to give up the presidency if he loses the election, he’s not going to try anything weird or illegal, don’t be ridiculous!”
Yeah, it’s been a very long, exhausting decade.
“The missiles are flying, hallelujah!”
There is no button he has unilaterally press and never has been its an order that must be given to others who actually launch
Yes, but they’re also legally required to follow that order, except for certain circumstances. The question is if someone in the chain will have the moral backbone to stop said order, and it can’t just be the person launching it as there are more that can be launched. It needs to be someone high up in the chain. It may also require them physically stopping him from just asking the next person.
He does kind of have a ‘button’ in the form of the “football” that sends the order straight to the ICBMs silos but I’m pretty sure those are pre-aimed at Russian targets. He doesn’t push the button, an unthinking brainwashed military pawn does it. That is sent to more unthinking brainwashed military pawns who actually launch the missiles.
Tactical nukes would have to go through more people but they’d probably just follow orders too.
And they all blindly worship him soooo it’s not looking good for the world.
They won’t.
