Ah, just threatening with some casual genocide. No biggie.
That’s what you get with religious believers in power.
Real piece of shit.
Really impressed by the amount of USian protests against this insanity.
What are the odds he pushes the button?
Low (10-15%), which is still higher than in “normal” times. Truth is, the elites around him don’t want the world to end while there’s still something left in it for them to exploit. They’ll likely stop him in time if it ever comes to this point. However, it isn’t guaranteed.
That’s 10-15% too high
Well, looks like he TACOed in the end.
He did? How? Where?
Taco Tuesday
Will someone please help us remove him? Our people who are supposed to do it are too spineless to try.
Where are the international assassins we see in movies??
Some apostates are still in iran. Not all of them landed lucrative projects in regime change think-tanks. This is why I don’t trust America and its eager bloodthirsty soldiers to liberate any of my cities. For warmongers, war is just a way to quell boredom and to sacrifice civilian lives in the name of pretentious logic.
I really should start taking my PTO.
Makes me glad I just passed my 6 month probationary period and can use the 6 months I banked while waiting.

and the judgment given to Croesus by each of the two oracles was the same, to wit, that if he should send an army against the Persians he would destroy a great empire.

I’m seriously curious who gave this Mad Magazine cover writer power?
I’m looking at the /r/conservative subreddit right now. Of the comments that weren’t removed (and there aren’t that many, that place is a partisan shithole and a comment graveyard), it’s just accusations of Iranian bots, claims that the Democrats are clutching at pearls, and mental gymnastics claiming that this is part of Trump’s playbook…
How many world leaders have you seen make vulgar and genocidal threats like Trump has over the last few days?
There is not a single genuine person commenting there. Bots and trolls all the way down.
I’ve seen a good amount of people at least saying its a bad look for trump at least… some are still clinging on though… idk…
Putin just threatened to Nuke Ukraine so… I guess the late night gossip calls got then both thinking in unison.
How many world leaders have you seen make vulgar and genocidal threats like Trump has over the last few days?
I can think of another one of the criminal, Bibi Netanyahu.
This is a pretty straightforward declaration of genocidal intent. If the Americans bomb civilian infrastructure, there is a credible case for accusing them of Genocide in the Hague.
There is but then what?
Iran continues to hit back, making us presence in the middle east untenable. israel is destroyed.
Blood thristy jackass
Openly and directly threatening genocide.
Civilization (noun):The stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.
The definition Oxford Languages uses is:
“they equated the railroad with progress and civilization”
I hate to say it, but Trump used the correct definition of civilization in regards to his destruction of civilian infrastructure. It doesn’t imply genocide.
Infrastructure can’t “die”. He’s taking about people, their culture, and everything that makes them who they are. He’s not taking about bridges.
That’s not the meaning of civilization he’s using.
The Oxford Learners Dictionary you used also defines one of the meanings as
a society, its culture and its way of life during a particular period of time or in a particular part of the world
That’s the definition he’s using, and it’s definitely genocide.
Lol thank you for teaching that other commenter about how words can have multiple meanings.
Also, if you’re bickering about the definition of ‘civilization’ when you’re talking about what constitutes genocide, you’re probably committing genocide.
I had the same “well technically” thought at first but destroying that much infrastructure will result in some immediate deaths and mass casualties later. So maybe not technically genocide but in reality it’s close.
I’m not sure what my argument is exactly; I looked up the definition of civilization because I was bored and was shocked when Trump’s statement made literal sense.
That’s because anything coherent from him wasn’t written by him.
You’d think they’d do a better job managing him like they did with Reagan
I for one am very thankful for our beautiful Democratic Party, which while all this craziness has entered a fever pitch, they have been loudly and boldly speaking out against this every minute of the day and not focusing on unimportant matters like trying to trash talk Hasan Piker and taking personal vacations to the beach.
