U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” as his threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure loom ahead of an 8 p.m. ET deadline.
Iran has rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and says it wants a permanent end to the war.
UN Secretary General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law.
The death toll so far includes more than 1,900 people in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, about two dozen in other countries in the region, 13 U.S. service members and 11 Israeli soldiers.

I’m gonna murder all of you, and god bless you
Okay then…
As in god bless their souls, AFTER I SEND THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL
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.
EDIT: Historian Timothy Snyder also identified it as such, pointing that this creates legal liabilities up and down the American state: https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-president-speaks-genocide
We are permenantly hyper fucked if the best interpretation of his words are bombing Iran’s infrastructure so badly that Iran retaliates by destroying all oil and desalination facilities in surrounding countries, rendering them uninhabitable for millions.
Watch those betting sites for the US dropping a nuke, if a bunch of bets come in all at once (Trump insiders)….
I hate that what I typed above is plausible
Unfortunately you are correct.
Also check out the Pentagon Pizza Index. They also source some I to on active bets on such sites, although take their accuracy with a grain of salt.
This is the best case scenario. We’re right now at a point where this is the desirable outcome of his words. THIS.
The US have utterly fucked this world in about a year…
Republican traitor filth have completely fucked the world in a year…
~60% of the country either voted for him or couldn’t be arsed to vote at all, declaring with their non-vote that both candidates were equally valid.
Sorry mate but… it’s the US. It’s not just a minority of people. It’s the fucking president and administration of the United States of America.
If he was just a republican traitor and not the president of the country, he wouldn’t be threatening with nuking a country.
Well, you’re not wrong, but that would still be a catastrophe modern world hasn’t yet seen. Those millions would become refugees and absolutely overwhelm European immigration system even with mass casualties due to riots, loss of water/food/medicine and who knows what else. Current oil prices would seem pretty cheap and global economy would take a massive hit causing homelesness, bankrupts, humongous loss of crops (due to fuel and fertilizer prices) and all kinds of havoc.
Global west would suffer badly, China would become even stronger, Russia would benefit from that as well causing even more problems around Europe. Global trade with USA would practically collapse and pull USA down as well. In the global scale it doesn’t even matter that much if there’s a nuclear explosion somewhere too as results will be pretty nuclear anyways.
Worst case, we suffer a nuclear war, nuclear winter and we’ll be lucky if anything survives.
That’s just such an Epstein files thing to say. How can a President Epstein files those words and expect the world not to Epstein files in revulsion. To be brutally Epstein files he seems a little desperate. These are not the words of a sane Epstein files.
You do understand that evil people can do multiple evil things for multiple independent evil reasons, don’t you? This “everything is a distraction from Epstein” is cringe.
You know… you’re right. I should be more Epstein files about it. You can’t reduce a complex Epstein Files likes this to just one Epstein files.
Why does it make you cringe?
No sea lioning.
HOW did this Man ONLY get the FIFA Peace Prize!
ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant
Well if everyone is dead we have peace, he clearly needs another one. \s
I’m hoping if he gives the order to demolish Tehran, or worse, nuke them, enough people refuse to do it.
If this shit was in an apocalypse movie people would complain about it being unrealistic.
No way a US president would say that!
Really? via a social media post? did they run out of budget for actors? “Praise be to allah”? did the writers forget which side he’s on?If he hadn’t TACO’d before this would be terrifying. not to say it’s not horrible still
I don’t think he realizes how old Persian civilization really is
He would think you’re talking about rugs…
TACO already happened, btw. Delayed by two weeks.
Yep, I just caught it, added an update to the main post body.
…
… fuck do i hate this shit.
Am I the only one wondering how the fuck a president has all this power? I thought USA was a democracy, not a fucking dictatorship. Who has voted for all these wars? And if it’s this easy to just get around an approval, shouldn’t this be your main agenda for coming elections in the future, because your entire system rewards a guy like Trump for doing whatever he wants.
If either party actually disagreed on principle, we would have heard someone criticize the war on principle and not on breaking procedural norms or not planning the war well enough. Virtually every critique I have seen from elected officials, at least before this explicitly genocidal statement here, is some form of those two. “This war was poorly planned” is only a sidenote observation from someone actually opposed to a war of aggression. It’s the most milquetoast opposition you can give to claim you were always against it when things go wrong. No way in hell am I going to accept that they were powerless to stop him when no one will even clearly lay out the actual reasons why this is wrong.
We know that actions speak louder than words, but if we want to give anyone else in our government the benefit of the doubt we’re gonna have to figure out what comes next after words.
I don’t want to have a nuclear war, my new birdfeeder is coming tomorrow.
Has Trump changed from pedophilia to BDSM?
“I’m gonna kick you in the balls and you will experience something wonderful. Then I will shit myself… again and you will watch”
Can you even imagine what Harris would have done?! Whew we really dodged a nuke.
He’s bullshitting.
Maybe. Either way it’s an insane thing for the POTUS to say. The best case scenario is that he’s so full of shit that he makes other insane politicians seem tame by comparison. That’s not a good place for the US or the world to be, to say nothing of any other possible scenarios.
He’s cutting through noise with his apocalyptic rhetoric. He’s dangerous but not because he’s telling you he’s dangerous
We can’t afford to take that chance.
See? You can’t do anything
Where’s the Kalshi bet that he TACOs this?
