    But wait I thought they were already totally destroyed and decimated and annihilated and embarrassed and begging for a deal. President Warloser and the Secretary of War (crimes) couldn’t be lying to me and the state of the “Trump Strait” that he definitely controls could he?

    It’s a race! Iran has been 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon since 1978. Trump has been 2 weeks away from annihilating iran for 6 months.

    Trump propagandists could teach Zeno a thing or two about finish lines.

    I feel like, and this isn’t in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

      If the UN ever enforces a resolution, it should be this one. This war has not changed my mind anout Iran having nukes, but it has become crystal clear that the US should NOT have nukes.

        If the United States ever nuked anybody I think the entire world would just cut us off of trade completely and we would f****** deserve it

    Truman won’t be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum

      Using the bomb saved lives though. Using it twice was overkill perhaps, but a ground invasion of Japan would’ve caused so many more casualties. I would remind you previous napalming of Tokyo killed more than both the nuclear weapons.

      Their culture was fight to the death, it would’ve been magnitudes worse with a ground invasion.

    This isnt even saber rattling anymore. Its just an old man threatening the kids to get off his lawn, except its not his lawn, its a lawn on TV, and they aren’t even kids, they’re deer.

      I dunno, this was my first thought yesterday when I saw the news of a potential withdrawling of 25-50,000 US troops from Europe…

      It’s like when a parent gets frustrated and starts yelling at a kid without thinking anything through. “When we get home I’m gonna…well you just better hope I don’t decide to annihilate Iran, mister.”

    The top cop, mister flip flop. He would nuke anybody if the spotlight were to get too close to the proof of his degeneracy.

    Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it’s on a 3 week cycle.

    Almost like he’s trying to distract from something.
