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.
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.
