President Donald Trump told ABC News if Iran doesn't make a peace deal in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the whole country."

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.

    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.

        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.

        The destruction of usaid alone will cause millions of preventable deaths including many kids. The stadium full of dead kids doesn’t care about your feelings

          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.

            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

                    I’m not a nationalist I’m a realist. This is why I voted for Harris and support armed forces to enforce a truce in Gaza and no further military aid to Israel.

                    You can feel however you like about the choices you have in front of you are still morally obliged to pick the least bad even if you aren’t happy with either but extremely simple principals.

            1. Organizations other than the CIA are capable of distributing food and vaccines

            So you don’t care how many poor people die as long as “US bad”. I’m glad their lives are bargain chips to you

        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?
