President Donald Trump told ABC News if Iran doesn't make a peace deal in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the whole country."

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.

    The destruction of usaid alone will cause millions of preventable deaths including many kids. The stadium full of dead kids doesn’t care about your feelings

    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.

      So you don’t care how many poor people die as long as “US bad”. I’m glad their lives are bargain chips to you

      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.

            Fuck america. I refuse to put the empire first above humanity. All suffering matters equally, disregarding provocation.

            also quoting myself from a different part of this comment thread

            *You nationalists disgust me. I wonder if you consider yourself somehow better than racists when you discriminate and devalue on equally arbitrary lines.
