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.
Boomers can’t do math and if they could they’d be very disappointed
As a Canadian I want to know when does the world start blowing up maga let them know how it feels what it’s like
Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don’t even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it’s his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn’t personally affected he won’t even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.
Uh, interesting (and horrifying) theory. I wonder how his bootlicking allies would explain that away. Like Germany’s Merz going “we have to evaluate first whether dropping a nuclear bomb really constitutes a war crime. Maybe it was warranted and he had good reasons to do it” and then just never speak of it again and pretend everything’s fine.
I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?
The problem is, this very very tiny portion of like minded evil people have installed themselves via politics or capitalism into untouchable roles which drive the country in any way they wish, regardless of what the majority wants. And even physical violence isn’t really a protest option as the police and military are some of the organizations they control. So the US is basically the same as China or Russia now.
Why doesn’t that nasty ass orange rapist do everyone a favour and pull a Mr Creosote?
This guy has never had any clue what he’s doing, only what he wants and how to get it. Now, he’s finally hit something completely out of his grasp and just like any narcissist, he’s not handling it well.
He will tear continue to chew through the entire world consuming people, economies, countries, and society until he’s stopped. This is the danger of dictators.
This comment could have been posted word-for-word in February/March 2020 and it would have had the exact same meaning. Even if Trump completely blunders this conflict it will ultimately be someone else’s mess to clean up.
If? What hasn’t he blundered?
What the fuck is everyone over there so afraid of? Get him the hell out of that damn office already! Holy shit.
Presumably they’re afraid of getting shot by his brownshirts
70million of them love it. What he’s doing doesn’t directly affect his cultists so they think it’s great.
Have a look at all the pro trump/ anti establishment comments and tell me there is some semblance of civilised discourse with these people. Thats the problem.
I like pepsi.
RRREEEEEEERERRR, WHY ARE YOU SO PRO GENOCIDE!?!
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!”
They won’t.
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.
And they all blindly worship him soooo it’s not looking good for the world.
The Toddler-in-chief threatening to throw an apocalyptic tantrum over something that he fucked up in the first place.
He not only needs to be removed from office - he needs to be on a psych hold. He’s deranged and dangerous.
-Niko Bellic’s thoughts on Vladdy Boy
americans showed the whole world they wanted this, he’s what represents them and it was their choice on the land of the free
And when a Democratic president gets in, the Americans will be like, “Oh, but we’ve changed! We’re going to be much better now! Really!”.
It’s like a psychotic ex-boyfriend begging you to take him back, because he’s really sorry and will do better next time. Promise!
Yep! Wankees can’t deal with this amount of reality. He is them.
But we saved gaza, right?
Right?
Have you been doing any Palestine solidarity work or is gaza just a gotcha for you?
Did we though?
You clearly didn’t. I’m not American so I’m not part of your “we”. Your turn: is Gaza just a gotcha for you?
Good. Neither am i.
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.
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
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.
started to associate anti-genocide with a disaster like trump
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.

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

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.
-
The arrogance behind that statement is disgusting.
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!
^…checks notes…^ fuck.
‘you stupid lefties wouldn’t settle for sacrificing tens of thousands of Gazans so that we could go back to brunch, I bet you sure regret it’
-person who still hasn’t questioned why sacrificing Gaza was a foregone conclusion
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 fucking have ICE anyway even if Kamala won.
Die! You Gobshite
Criminal is gonna war crime.
His opponent was a woman! Fancy that!

My question for him is which country does he mean. Because I’m not sure at this point.
Neither is he.
He means the US, and by all accounts he’s finishing the job
Because he’s been holding back so far?! Lol no he hasn’t. He comes across as a bit desperate to me.
Trying to say that the US doesn’t need or care about the strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, then following it up with today’s post was a choice.
Guy has exactly one tactic: start from a relative position of power and bully the little guy. It’s not working like he assumed and he’s floundering.
How many hours ago was the first threat? I feel like we keep repeating ourselves.
I don’t think soup brain is capable of considering this
Taco soup?
