A whole civilisation will die tonight.

Tumps exact words today!

WTAF? That sounds like he is about to drop a Nuke!

How the hell has the world got here?

Trumps truth social posts sounds more like something that a dramatic gleeful tv presenter would say in a game show. Not something a world leader threatening to blow up an entire civilisation.

The man has the vocabulary of a over dramatic 5 year old.

But yes, those words do indeed sound like a threat of genocide.

Very tense times 😳

I am trying not to worry about what I can't control. Hopefully there are checks and balances and it's bluster.

A person might wonder why he has not yet been sectioned …

The myth of checks and balances has been exploded, surely!

Disgusting thing to say. Very worried about ordinary Iranians.

Yes it’s a WTAF moment for sure.

Why is it disgusting? I am hoping common sense will prevail.

I think the poster was talking about what Trump said as being disgusting not what you posted!

Israel has begun bombing Iran's transportation routes, according to CNN.

I said that exact thing!

The sooner this appalling individual is removed from his position and imprisoned the better.

Someone must be holding him back? This is the fourth(?) deadline. Why hasn't he already done what he keeps threatening? Obviously I don't want him to do that, but I'm wondering what has prevented this most impulsive man following through.

He has eroded the checks and balances that were once in place. His brand of chaos has upended the geopolitical order of things. It is not difficult to imagine the unbelievable happening. I am terrified for the Iranians and for the people in the region.
My god… and this sociopath wanted/expected the Nobel Peace Prize?

But he won that prestigious FIFA peace prize don't you know.

Seriously though, is there nobody in the west wing saying Mr President you're being a twat?

I'm actually terrified at what's going to happen. This fucking nutter needs arresting now.

I think a line has been permanently crossed simply by the threat.
what he has already done in Iran is bad enough. But this is something else.

Iran too will now not hold back.

What are the American press/people/other politicians making of this.

Absolute war crimes

There are supposed to be but there appears to be fuck all they can or will do to get rid of this piece of shit

They say that Trump always chickens out.

For the sake of all humanity, let's fucking hope so.

I hope Starmer has made it clear than UK bases should no longer be used

He has, as far as I know.

lets hope it is TACO Trump

I'm just appalled and dumbfounded that the US general public have not stormed the White House and put an end to that cretin.

Yes, agreed. Not much coming from him shocks me, but this did!

Surely this is not just a shocking thing to say, but also incredibly dangerous.

Remember a few years ago, during the first Trump presidency, when he got involved in that ridiculous spat with North Korea? I remember feeling genuinely terrified that nuclear weapons would be used then. Thank god nothing really came of it in the end.

Obviously it's a very tense time now but I think (hope) this is just another bit of absurd Trump bluster.
