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.

      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

            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

              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.

              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.

                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.

                Harris isn’t responsible for how we vote that is our and only our responsibility.

                They did the beat job providing a convincing platform they knew how obviously insufficient but she like us got one vote

            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?

        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!

          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.
