Critics put Donald Trump on blast on Monday after he posted a message on social media threatening Iran with “Death, Fire and Fury.”
Writing on his Truth Social website, Trump said any attempt to block oil shipments would lead to an attack “TWENTY TIMES HARDER” ― and so severe that it will be “virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again.”
Iran has responded to the U.S.-Israeli military campaign by threatening to attack ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively cutting off some 20% of the world’s oil. That’s triggered wild fluctuations in the market for crude oil, rising gas prices at U.S. pumps and fears of further economic pain should the conflict drag on.
He’s threatening nukes, he already mobilized the bombs. Now would be a good time for other countries to cut the US off. US won’t rally and rise up unless we suffer. Make us suffer you pussies.
It really does look like he’s trying to find an excuse to use them.
If he does he needs to go to be removed from office, and all countries need to sanction the US.
WTF do you mean, “if he does?” He already needs to be removed from office now, and the notion that he’s thinking about using a nuke only makes it even more imperative that he be removed before that happens!
I agree with everything you said.
But if the US doesn’t grow a spine on this they’re fucked beyond help.
Would that happen? I doubt the US would remove him, would Europe be able to do any more than symbolic acts?
If he uses nukes it would be a hard line that most countries would be hard pressed to look past. If the US uses nukes in Iran then Russia will definitely use theirs in Ukraine and no European politician wants to be in the way of that fallout (literally and figuratively).
The entire world needs to stop. It’s seemingly being considered to drop nukes on millions of people like you and me for no reason. Hello? This is not a matter of tapping on little hearts and arrows on social media, we’re all financing this, in one way or another, and allowing it to happen.
What a typical fucking American take. “Stop making us do this to you!”.
I think they’re just being realistic, not assigning responsibility
