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.
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?
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.

Death row, to be precise.
americans showed the whole world they wanted this, he’s what represents them and it was their choice on the land of the free
Yep! Wankees can’t deal with this amount of reality. He is them.
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!
I pray the world never forgives America for all this. I certainly won’t as a Canadian. If a century of good will and allyship can get pissed down the drain in mere months, why should any nation ever trust America again?
so true, their electoral process is highly functional and famous for accurately reflecting their values
He needs to be sent to an asylum unlike the immigrants that come to the US for a better life.
-Niko Bellic’s thoughts on Vladdy Boy
Where is “Vladdy” coming back from?
A safehouse owned by a powerful mob boss.
If you want some more context:
- Roman (Niko’s cousin) has a bad habit of getting into debt from all his gambling. Unfortunately, Roman is in debt to Vlad.
- Vlad decides to exert his power over Roman by fucking Roman’s girlfriend, Mallorie.
- Niko then immigrates to America from the Balkans. After helping Roman out by keeping loan sharks off his back, he encounters Vlad pestering Roman and Mallorie.
- Vlad later calls up Niko and demands that Niko work for him, or he’ll put some hurt on Roman. Niko agrees to this.
- As Niko works with Vlad, he overhears Vlad talking to Mallorie. Niko sternly tells Vlad to stay away from her. Vlad gives Niko a “Sure, sure”.
- During this time, Vlad is very insulting, calling Niko and Roman peasants, and boasts about his powerful friend, Mikhail Faustin. Mikhail Faustin is the boss of the Russian mob in the area. Whenever Niko tries to push back against Vlad’s demands, Vlad threatens to tell Faustin that Niko and Roman are becoming a problem.
- Eventually, Roman tells Niko that he thinks Mallorie is “messing around with Vlad”. Niko reveals that he knows, and Roman is outraged. He tells Niko that he’s a traitor and a loser. Niko then gets upset and storms off to Vlad’s bar, with Roman tagging along.
- When Niko meets Vlad, he tells him to stay away from Mallorie. Vlad’s response is “I must be hearing things. I could’ve sworn for a moment that this ratty little yokel just told me what to do!”. Vlad then orders his guys to rough up Niko and Roman.
- Niko takes down Vlad’s guys, and both of them run out of the bar. Vlad gets in his car, with Niko in hot pursuit. This is when the quote I posted happens. After a little chase around the city, Niko corners Vlad and shoots him in the head.
For the relevant part with Vlad, you can look here.
I don’t have a clue what you’re going on about.
Good. Then my plan is working as intended.
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.
Yeah, trying to play it cool like it doesn’t matter to the USA was an extraordinarily transparent lie. Iran knows it, everyone knows it. His bullying tactics falling is what resulted in the tantrum now. Why would Iran give up one of their most effective strategies, just because the unreliable lying word-breaking thin-skinned narcissist got cross?
There’s a reason other presidents didn’t do it this way, Your Lowness, and it’s called Vietnam. You know, the one you draft dodged?

What the fuck is everyone over there so afraid of? Get him the hell out of that damn office already! Holy shit.
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.

Trump was not ever going to try to stop it, he supports genocide and war crimes. Remember him telling Israel to “finish the job in Gaza”?
Republican Donald Trump has called US President Joe Biden “a very bad Palestinian” who doesn’t want to help Israel “finish the job” against Hamas in its war on Gaza.
“He doesn’t want to do it. He’s become like a Palestinian – but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian, he’s a weak one,” former president Trump said in the first presidential debate with Biden on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia.

It’s the party that’s corrupted, the president if anything is making it more difficult for them to seize absolute power, because he’s dumb as shit.
No. I’m not talking about violence. Soon after our topic of discussion here about removing this idiot pedophile from office, I awoke to this article discussing exactly what I mean about how to remove the son of a bitch.
It’s a long shot, and a lengthy process and will likely not happen. But this is the only way I am talking about.
70million of them love it. What he’s doing doesn’t directly affect his cultists so they think it’s great.
Actually it does affect them, but that’s the scary part, they still continue to support him although he actively makes their lives worse. I mean the increase in gas prices literally affects almost every adult, especially in the US, a very car-centric country, where you basically can’t get anywhere without a car.
They’ll parrot some inane shit they heard on Fox and blame Biden
But we saved gaza, right?
Right?

Most of us don’t like Kamala, but we voted for her because we’re not fucking morons.
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.

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.

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.

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.
deleted by creator
You don’t have to shut up about genocide to talk about other awful things happening directly because of the US.
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.
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
We had a canidate that wouldn’t be committing these war crimes.
But glad you’re happy that you can prove the US isn’t the good guy and it only cost Iranian lives
We had a canidate that wouldn’t be committing these war crimes.
Jill Stein? I guess I don’t remember them saying anything supporting Israel but they were also just a known spoiler candidate so they hardly count.
You know international law gets fuzzy with supplying weapons and money. Which is what the US was providing Israel. Now we have the US military attacking nations directly.
So let me be clear we wouldn’t have invaded Venezuela and we wouldn’t be invading Iran. Those are the war crimes.
And were not even getting into the domestic issues thse days, lots of death there too.
But yeah let’s focus on one thing and ignore all the other way worse direct involvement actions that never would have happened
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.
“You can only care about Gaza if you pass my morality test. Don’t worry no matter what you did, I’ll arbitrarily judge it as not enough.”
Congratulations you defeated the strawman you created.
I asked for a minimal (do you do anything or is it just a rhetorical device?) not any kind of maximal (pass my morality test).
I pointed out the ludicrousness of your morality arguements. You want to talk rhetorical fallacies you’ve created a character arguement and set yourself as the only judge.
You threw out the facts and changed the arguement to be about the commentors’ morality, as you perceive it.
Don’t pretend to care about fallacies when your own hypocrisy is pointed out
The moral argument I made is precisely this:
Have you been doing any Palestine solidarity work or is gaza just a gotcha for you?
That’s the fact, visible to anyone just a few posts up the thread. Nothing thrown away.
From this you assumed that I was setting up a different kind of gotcha, where I would instantly dismiss as not enough anything the other party would say. That’s your assumption, not what I said. The fallacy you accuse me of requires your assumption, does not stand on what I wrote alone. That in turn is exactly a strawman fallacy.
Didn’t he say that 72 hours ago?
He said it basically on several occasions now, all of which he backed down from. The guy is desperate. Iran has no incentive to deal with him.

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.
So, TACO Tuesday?

I predict TACO Monday shortly after the markets open and start dropping like a rock.

he is not dead. vance wouldn’t wait a second for his promotion. dying… who knows.
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.
We’ve all been warning the Iran hawks this wouldn’t end well if they tried, for 25 years or more. This president is the only one dumb, and compromised by Israel enough, to not listen.
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?
Why doesn’t that nasty ass orange rapist do everyone a favour and pull a Mr Creosote?
