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.

When a person has the means to commit genocide, is inclined to commit genocide, and has promised to commit genocide, does that create a moral imperative to kill that person? Asking for a friend.
And just a few minutes ago he said openly and directly that he was going to destroy their entire culture.
i think stopping a genocide is an ANTI-war crime.
Hey… At least America is upfront about how they’re going to commit mass genocide… Unlike other (🇮🇱) country’s!
To think that in the interest of electoral fairness, we let this guy be president again instead of putting him in a prison for life where he absolutely belongs.
To any democratic strategists out there who might be reading my post, if you want my attention, start getting your candidate to talk loudly and often about how they will punish Trump and every single member of his administration on Day 1. Lifetime prison sentences for Epstein related coverups. Hangings for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lengthy prison sentences for fraudsters who are insider trading and former DOGE staffers. Restitution to be paid back to the American taxpayers for the theft and embezzlement of tax dollars. Anything less that that is a mockery of justice.
100%. All these people saying we can’t win on MAGA Punishment can go to prison, too. I have my pet issues too like Universal Health Care and Campaign Finance Reform, but I recognize that we’re NEVER get this country back on track and reach a point where we can address those issues in good faith, until we deal with MAGA as the genuine National Security Threat that they truly are.
My candidate is the one that says, “The moment I’m sworn in, I will issue arrest warrants for every MAGA leader, and send them to Guantanamo Bay for extensive interrogation.” We will audit every account they controlled, personal, business, and governmental, and charge them for every single count they violated, and confiscate their entire fortunes and assets.
That’s the candidate that I will support. Any that blurt shit like “We need to come together,” is automatically disqualified in my eyes.
Maybe we can’t win on MAGA punishment, but it’ll sure as fuck make me feel better.
If we want to redeem America in the eyes of its citizens, the world, and history, then MAGA cannot go unpunished.
Agreed.
Hang that fucker on the white house lawn
Lol but Democratic strategists don’t want to win, they just want to have plausible deniability against the claim that they’re trying not to win. Their real goal is to figure out how to convince people they’re incompetent. Your strategy would make people actually vote for them, after which they’d be expected to follow through on those policies which would hurt their donors. Even if they did do that they’d have to go back to playing incompetent while in power to make sure it didn’t happen
Crossing my fingers on this TACO Tuesday
But what about that big bribe that Trump said Iran gave him?
Turns out it wasn’t worth that much money 😞
What have you done for me lately?
Did they even say thank you?
MAGA is dragging the USA down to the low level of Vlad’s Fucked Up Russia.

I think they have done it. For me it was the loss of a us awacs plane last month, a thing that we made fun of russia for not a few years ago. The us of a is not in a good place militarily right now, with big issues with both equipment and moral that is very much underplayed.
Good. Hope you learned that running your mouth off over things you don’t understand isn’t a good look.
Hey remember sending F-16s to intercept weather balloons? Imagine if Russia did that!
Not american myself, but yes those guys suck!
At this point I trust russia more than the US. Even a few months ago there at least was the semblance of a democratic system left, but by now its clear that the US is a dictatorship in all but name.
The things Putin does at least make sense from an imperialistic point of view, but trump is a literal toddler throwing a different tantrum each hour.
Both can rot in the deepest parts of hell as far as I’m concerned though.
Oh yeah, fucked up Russia, with its hundreds of military bases around the world, supporting endless terrorist regimes in the Middle East, supplying nukes to Israel, like that?
Russia isn’t even 1/10th of what you loons do every day. Fucked up Russia? What’s fucked up about it that you don’t do a hundred times worse every day?
Please get that brainworm looked at.
Yeaaaa lol my personal view is that any powerful country pretty much sucks. But I do think its so funny how even most very lefty Americans still hold up China and Russia as the ultimate examples of evilness. Even when calling ourselves evil we have to do it by calling Russia and China evil in the same breath, as if to comfort ourselves that we’re not the only one. The propaganda against those countries is truly strong here, which of course is helped by the fact that they both ARE quite problematic as any super powerful entity is
I wish someone would shut him up.
So stupid, "we’re going to blow up innocent iranians i stg!!’
“Oh you mean those annoying protestors we were killing before you interrupted us?”

Yep. We need to kill them, otherwise they might die!
No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it’s just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?
Could you imagine if a female was president. Just running everything on feelings and emotions.
It’s not just 1 guy, it’s most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!
I think your math is old. Trump is the least popular potus ever across all population sectors now.
I keep hearing this and I also keep reading how those same people who now think he’s unpopular, also voted for him 3 times and would vote for him again.
You have to take into consideration that the dumbest people are often the loudest- what we’re seeing is a equivalent of the village idiots screaming while throwing shit around the room because they’re afraid of losing the space they’ve carved out on social media. These are the dumbest humans on the entire planet- less resourceful and less intelligent than ancient neanderthals. They exist solely to pull the human race down, and the fact that their comments are often rife with the worst takes you’ve ever seen and some of the worst grammar possible is a testament to their functional illiteracy. They can read and write, but they’re wholly incapable of rational and intelligent thought.
Stats don’t lie, MAGA does
Have the day you
voted forgot as a result of election rigging.And I don’t say this as a “sore loser”. I say that trump rigged the 2024 election, because in August/September/October of 2024, trump had been saying repeatedly that he rigged the upcoming election.
Then towards October he was saying there won’t be a need for any more elections. That it was fixed so hard that he’s already the president forever.
Now, lack of fundamental understanding of mortality aside, he’s essentially admitted that he’s corrupted our government from the inside.
And you know the fucked up part? He won’t face consequences. If someone in a position to change things finds evidence, that evidence won’t be released until the year 2100. They only released the JFK files last year. He’ll be long dead by the time anyone comes out and says there was a corrupt election.
The numbers are 3 days old, and were posted here.
He’s so unpopular, he can start a war on twatter while shitting, and the whole country happily does what he wants no question asked.
And that one guy is Netanyahu
Always has been
No nukes! Somebody please stop that idiot from using nukes!!
Everyone and his dog will be getting a nuclear weapon if that happens. The future of humanity will be very bleak indeed.
Israel would rather rule over Hell on Earth before admitting defeat and facing international scrutiny for real this time
If they use one they are going to very quickly become the first nation made entirely of glass.
will be
That’s future tense. I think you mean “has been since 1945”
What do you mean? Nukes ensure stability, do you think anyone would attack a nuclear Iran?
Nukes mean not using them.
John Kiriakou (ex CIA whistleblower) mentioned in an interview that Israel threatened to use a nuke in the 12 day war last June which prompted Trump to bomb Fordow and Natanz with B2 bombers.
Zionist fanatic Sheldon Adelson advocated nuking Iran a few years ago. Zionist war criminal Ben Gvir was asked on israeli TV why they haven’t used a neutron bomb on Iran yet and he grinned.
Theres a real danger that Netanyahu uses a nuke or orders Trump to do it given the Zionists 30 year desire to destroy Iran. Trump is just a puppet.

As Trump liked to say to his opponents, he doesn’t have the cards.
I mean…he’s the one that controls earths largest supply of nukes. He has the cards. It’s just a matter of if the order will be followed.
The Toddler-in-chief threatening to throw an apocalyptic tantrum over something that he fucked up in the first place.
He not only needs to be removed from office - he needs to be on a psych hold. He’s deranged and dangerous.

Where is “Vladdy” coming back from?
I’m currently replaying GTA IV and have just killed Vladimir. He’s a loanshark who, according to some, could be coming back from hell (if one believes in that sort of thing)

I don’t have a clue what you’re going on about.
Good. Then my plan is working as intended.
He needs to be sent to an asylum unlike the immigrants that come to the US for a better life.
he needs to be in prison, that’s where the orange turd needs to be.
Death row, to be precise.
americans showed the whole world they wanted this, he’s what represents them and it was their choice on the land of the free
so true, their electoral process is highly functional and famous for accurately reflecting their values
And when a Democratic president gets in, the Americans will be like, “Oh, but we’ve changed! We’re going to be much better now! Really!”.
It’s like a psychotic ex-boyfriend begging you to take him back, because he’s really sorry and will do better next time. Promise!
I pray the world never forgives America for all this. I certainly won’t as a Canadian. If a century of good will and allyship can get pissed down the drain in mere months, why should any nation ever trust America again?
Yep! Wankees can’t deal with this amount of reality. He is them.
He remembered how bored he got after he had solved the conflict in Ukraine on day one.

We are certainly hoping for a TACO Tuesday this time
Boomers can’t do math and if they could they’d be very disappointed
Reminds me of this classic Andy Griffith Show scene from the Opie and the Bully episode.
“So you want to fight? Step across this line. Alright, knock this off my shoulder, I dare you. So you wanna fight huh? Just step inside this circle.” 😆
We watched all but the last season or two of Andy Griffith during covid. Once Barney left we left.
Yeah, the series definitely overstayed it’s welcome.
I wish we had made the decision to drop Facts of Life earlier those last two seasons are painful.
“we’re blowing up the entire country.”
What country is that? USA?
For those not aware, Trump is actively destroying USA not Iran.
For every escalation USA is just making it worse for themselves.Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don’t even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it’s his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn’t personally affected he won’t even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.

He is the only person stupid enough to do it. I feel they’ll carpet bomb Teheran or something like that first, but since the army of Iran is decentralized it won’t do much. It would be a great excuse for the martial law in US if he drops a nuke. His insanity and the death cult around him makes him so fucking dangerous. Hegseth did a purge in the army, if they have only yes men left they will have no pushback from them.
Israel is the only one reckless enough to do it actually.
Problem is, Trump is listening to Israel.
Listening is a charitable way to put it. The president is the bitch of, he is being blackmailed by, would be more accurate.
Nevertheless, even he wouldn’t nuke them right now, Israel would. What the president would do, is bomb their nuclear reactors making a dirty bomb of sorts.
Israel is pushing the envelope with the genocide, they have like 90 nukes, they are probably waging if they can get away with it.
there is no big button that trump presses, that is the myth. the suitcase being carried with him, for some strange reason called nuclear football, is basically just a sat-phone that connects him to some joint chiefs operations center. from there, there is a long chain of command leading to some soldiers in silo somewhere, who actually have the button. anyone in that chain of command can still say no and break the chain.
The “big red button” is a metaphor.
bad one, since it can give you really incorrect impression, like “trump can one day wake up and press the big red button”. which he can’t do, because there is no such button. good metaphors try to help understand the thing they describe, this one does exactly the opposite.
He wants to be remembered, and he knows that there’s only one reason people remember Truman
Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president
I think I’d prefer he bombed a hurricane.

Uh, interesting (and horrifying) theory. I wonder how his bootlicking allies would explain that away. Like Germany’s Merz going “we have to evaluate first whether dropping a nuclear bomb really constitutes a war crime. Maybe it was warranted and he had good reasons to do it” and then just never speak of it again and pretend everything’s fine.
His booklickers are locked in, no matter what. It’s basically mental illness. I expect they’d frame it as him saving us, as an Iranian nuclear attack was imminent.
That’s exactly my thought too. And it makes me feel upset when I know there’s no one there to prevent him.
