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.

Donald Trump got 77,302,580 votes
Kamala Harris got 75,017,613 votes
There’s not a lot between them.
Considering her campaign started late because of Joe Biden (or his supporters) trying to cling on when clearly he was not well and not up to the job.
I wondered how Jill and his daughter Ashley allowed him to make a fool of himself on the world stage. It’s not something I would do to someone I loved.

Anyway I digress. That’s a lot of people in the USA who didn’t vote for Trump.
How are they feeling now I wonder ?

I hope you're right, and that Israel is actually in control and things are going according to their plan. Netanyahu is the only world leader I have any confidence in at the moment.

Netanyahu is currently on trial for bribery and fraud, has pushed judicial reforms that triggered mass protests in Israel, and has been heavily criticised internationally over human rights issues. Let’s go and give him and saint Trump the greatest leader the world has ever seen (in this and parallel worlds) the Nobel Peace Prize.

In fairness the US has orchestrated regime changes plenty of times and they’ve always worked out super well.

Totally! Why're peeps freakin'? Everyone needs to chill.

No there will be bombing of infrastructure imo however the aim will be to make it easier for the independent factions of the IRGC to be toppled more easily by normal Iranians. The reality is the whole “Regime” now is pockets acting independently without any top down control. Taking out infrastructure will help Iranians deal with what’s left locally themselves. Time will tell but this is not some crazy mad man as you seem to think this is a carefully orchestrated plan with some of the best minds on the planet behind it. There is likely a huge infiltration of Mossad etc on the ground in Iran ready to help normal Iranians rise up.

There is no one opposition in Iran, many factions which will fight for control if the current government fails. It will be civil war on top of mass destruction. Trump won't just be hitting infrastructure he will be killing ordinary people going about their daily lives and causing mass hardship and death quite deliberately on the mass of Iranian people who are already struggling to survive.

Once Iran starts seriously blowing things up though, you can"t roll back on that, I think they are beyond triggered now, that won"t be able to just be shut down on a whim or a social media post?

Once Iran starts blowing things up? Iran?

This is about the US president’s threats to destroy an entire civilisation.

ultracynic · 07/04/2026 16:42

Aren’t the Americans shitting themselves that Iran (or supporters of Iran, or just anti Trumpists) are going to unleash terror on US soil? They may not have missiles that can reach that far, but there have got to be enough dissidents already there willing to wreak havoc in the name of religion / anti war / anti American…. not sure I’d want to be in busy places or near embassies, schools, hospitals etc.

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

Edited

Agree, how can they tolerate the way he is behaving. There is a lot wrong with this country but no way would things have been allowed to reach this point, they got rid of bloody Liz Truss in a matter of weeks and that was "just" for taking our economy to the brink. The Tango Tyrant who can't even blend his bronzer is threatening to take the world to the brink of destruction and it seems the US is powerless to stop him. It must be so scary living in Iran as always it is civilians who take the brunt of war

lemondrivelcake · 07/04/2026 16:46

It's beyond parody that this unhinged despot was ever able to get anywhere near the White House, and yet there are still people out there rabidly defending him. The world has literally gone crazy. And if I said what I thought the solution to the orange menace should be, this post would be deleted, but I bet I'm not the only one thinking it.

I think from the ones I know that they are worried about this but don’t think it’s a realistic outcome, yet.

Chenecinquantecinq · 07/04/2026 16:06

A lot on here are missing the bigger picture. All of this is likely a carefully orchestrated plan to destabilise the already chaotic IRGC at that point the Iranians will likely to encouraged to rise up against what is left of pockets of the Regime (which really are likely very fractured and acting independently). There’s so much hate for Trump you’re all missing what is likely at play here. Fascinating.

I don't think it is those of us against this war who are missing anything here.

If you think all this is going to end up with the Iranian people being free of the regime, you haven't been paying attention to the West's meddling in Iran over many, many many decades. If you think freeing the Iranian people from the regime is Trump's motivation for this war, you are sadly mistaken.

Anyway, Trump has said regime change has already happened.

And when people consider that she did not go through the primary process and a lot of Democrat voters were unhappy, that’s closer than it should have been. And it’s telling that neither candidate secured a majority of voters (more than 50%)

Hummingbird01 · 07/04/2026 15:32

theres international agreement's that limit the development of weapons

This has nothing to do with the
nuclear threat. They were still a long way from having nuclear weapons. And sustained arial bombardment won’t destroy the progress they have made as they are deep underground. The US and Israel can kill thousands of civilians and make their lives untenable through destroying infrastructure, but that won’t make any difference to whatever they already have. What was required was diplomacy- which was by all accounts making progress before the US and Israel jumped the gun. What you have now is a population increasingly hostile to the west with a government that will hang on to the bitter end. The civilian population will be brutalized by both their own government and the US and Israel. No one will be a winner - even Israel won’t be safer in the long term.

So we could never reach the point where a PM could lie in parliament about WMD and then occupy two countries for decades?

Stephen Miller. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.

@AmberSpy of course it's bluster
He's trying to terrify the irg !
Unfortunately I don't think they can be terrified and will fight to the end.

The irg do not care about anything at all so they have nothing to loose.

He's pulling out all the stops to force them into some sort of deal or submisson

He sounds extremely desperate and lost all credibility

Prayer circle that the more unhinged he gets, the closer the US are of getting rid of this vile, disgusting little man.

I feel for the Iranian people.

Anyahyacinth · 07/04/2026 16:56

We’ve supported the unchecked murder of civilians and imprisoned our citizens who’ve protested that. Our government ministers have taken tens of thousands from the lobbyists for another country. We’ve stroked the ego of a pussy grabbing rapist monster. Who launches wars to steal oil. The orange monster thought they’d spark regime change and were wrong.

Everything we do for years ahead will be vastly more expensive to pay for this and more refugees. Our fault.

Morality matters and ignore horror in other countries it will always arrive at our shores.
