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.

Yeah, it is illegal. However is anyone to punish the US for it?

Better write a letter to let know Israel that they can’t legally genocide the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

International law is totally meaningless unless there’s people actually enforcing it.

A year ago, with the Greenland / Canada threats and idiotic tariffs, I begged that there be some kind EU … GIGN / GROM / KSK type operation to eliminate Trump and his cabinet.

I guess people thought I was joking.

Since then, things have gotten literally insanely worse, kidnapped Maduro, blew up NATO, essentially destroyed 20% of the world’s economy, etc.

Well, they want a permanent end to the war. Can't have a war with no one alive on one side of it.

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.

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

Who could’ve guessed that eschewing the US’s soft power they built up over decades for Russian style “might makes right” posturing and sabre rattling would not work? Trump is really speedrunning to “Chinese ultimatums” with this fiasco.

Yeah this is the whole problem with the ‘madman’ strategy, when applied to nuclear armed states.

Its … arguably much worse when the person employing the madman strategy… is literally a demented madman with a cult of personality atound him.

Hope you got your pip boy in working order.

Can you even imagine what Harris would have done?! Whew we really dodged a nuke.
