    Trump threatening genocide out loud is horrendous. All of the world leaders that barely shrug off the threat if at all are horrendous.

    It’s normalization of the absolute worst.

    “unacceptable” is too weak of a word to describe this.

    It’s unacceptable to be late for your appointments.

    It’s unacceptable to swear in front of small kids.

    It’s unacceptable to be disrespectful.

    Wiping out a whole nation in a genocide is abhorrent, repugnant and unconscionable.

    Grow some balls Pope. Be like Jesus when he rampaged and destroyed the market place.

      But a foul ball is a foul ball. Whether it falls on the field, the crowd or the street isn’t the Pope’s business.

      Trump probably isn’t even part of the catholic church so he can’t excommunicate him.

    What’s more worrying is that nobody else is saying it.

    Sure it’s a horrible regime but they’re not the only ones going to be suffering

      also to note, its a regime that is result of UK/US installing the shah and then the islamic revolution happened, so its pretty much the fault of the US AND UK.

        True, and they trained Osama Bin Laden as well when he was in the mudjaheddeen.

        Really when does this stuff ever work out?

      I am surprised a lot of people think that being a “horrible regime” justifies genocide. Is this train of thought human at all? Because the Iranians are not going around bombing civilians in other countries.

        I personally think the genocide of the human race is justified, but anything short of every single person is just needless slaughter and causes more suffering than it solves.

        But yes, I believe this because as a general rule humans are fucking stupid animals who figured out violence and oppression and then never evolved past that.

          I think that there are a lot of ghouls out there trying to use moral relativism to justify mass murder. My answer to them is “We destroyed the nazis for a reason”

              Us and the Soviets

              But only after the other European allies paid the price in blood to hold them for as long as possible.

                Then the US HIRED nazis, for example the

                “I aim for the moon, but sometimes I hit London” Crew

                Those guys later went on to work for Eti Amin (Congo Space Race!)

                And they built Gadahfis bunkers…

                So thanks for employing the Nazis USA

        Uhhh…what? They absolutely are. Have you missed the whole Ukrainian war thing? Still nothing justifies genocide and this is all to placate a war hungry megalomaniac with pedophilic obsessions. But Iran has undeniably contributed heavily to Ukrainian civilian deaths via Shahed drone production.

          Ukraine also participated in iraq war along with usa which killed a million iraqi civilians , ukraine prior to russian war supplied weapons to many african countries which commited human right violations aganist people of other countries and their own people, does that mean war on ukraine is justified. Similarly iran government supported russia by providing shaheed drones doens’t justify usa/israel bombing in iran and killing innocent civilians

            Yeah, no shit Sherlock. That’s not the argument. The point of contention was the claim that Iran doesn’t kill foreign civilians.

            Somebody stole the Holy H-Bomb of Antioch. A team of Vatican operatives is dispatched to find it before the story hits the press. Reporters pull some threads and start taking rumors of the heist a little more seriously by the time the bomb is located. Action scene on a ship in bad weather, baddies get pulped, biblically-inspired one-liners add insult to fatal injury.

            Because of details, the team has to heroically sacrifice itself to scuttle the ship (conveniently located over a deep trench or other feature to make recovery practically impossible). Cool explosion with what’s left in the effects budget.

            Final scenes open on a Vatican spokesperson successfully convincing a bunch of reporters that there’s nothing to these crazy stories about the nuke being stolen and what a tragedy that accidental oil rig fire was. Behind closed doors, power-havers decide that the world can never know the truth and lay it on thick with a message about the power of faith.

            Money please, Hollywood.

    In other news, Pope Leo releases an official press release stating that he is, in fact, Catholic.
