A whole civilisation will die tonight.

[todayImstruggling]

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.

WW3 here we come.

That poster was being sarcastic!

Nearly right.

The IRGC is the attack dog for the death cultists in charge. Threats of civilisation-ending bombing are the kind of thing these Islamofascist wingnuts have wet dreams about. Trump might as well just fucking bend over at this point: he has played into their hands, underestimated, and fundamentally misunderstood, the people who rule Iran.

So much for the art of the deal eh?

Trump has all the oil he wants.

it’s your war because you’re paying more money for your food, your oeteol and your mortgage AND because Iran funds and organises twrrorism across the Middle East. All that affects you.

this is your war.

Yep.

Ww3 started more than four years ago

@Chenecinquantecinq I hope so
.
However I've read it's trained to act in isolated pockets

I did wonder whether the kurds and others may go in to take advantage of any chaos

Much as Blair was a war criminal there was a coherent argument being made (albeit bullshit). And the USA weaponised post 9/11 sympathy

And Britons did protest vehemently. But at no point did Blair ever threaten genocide against an entire civilisation - nor was it even Britain’s war.

There is a reason why Bush secured the support of so many European nations in his war to increase terror but Trump is facing a complete refusal of support from European leaders even those who were fairly pro-Trump until fairly recently.

I know it will make sweet FA difference, but I emailed Keir Starmer today to ask that the UK does not support the US in this in any way, shape or form. Including allowing US jets to take off from UK bases. I just feel so impotent.

Pray tell, what has this to do with the price of fish?

Always fucking whataboutery. Always.

Trump is finished, as is America as a power to be reckoned with, if he does not do something horrific.

Due to that post, he has backed himself into a corner. This is a game of chicken but the lives of millions of people is at stake.

For Trump to be taken seriously tomorrow on the world stage he has to now do something or lie to himself and his followers claiming Iran contacted him begging for negotiations.

@Vinvertebrate that's v true re death cult and playing into their own language

He sounds like an immature teenager screaming through a headset whilst playing on Call of duty/Fallout or whatever fighting game kids play these days.

Except it isn't a game, Trump! You truly are demented.

The deadline is 8pm Eastern Time. So if you are in the UK that is 1am Wednesday our time, I think?

That chimes with what I have seen military experts saying, the IRGC are still co-ordinating, taking commands down the line of authority and hitting targets, as well as setting deadlines then carrying out actions that they said they would do, not degraded to the extent someone wants us to believe.

We at work are convinced he has the kind of dementia that gets rid of inhibitions, it’s rarer than the memory loss sort but we’ve experienced it in members, that or trump is just crazy

Nah. If there were, Vance wouldn't be in Hungary shilling for Vlad's other puppet.

According to GB news they were already using UK bases when he was pretending to be thinking about letting them use them.

Good plan. I emailed my MP a while ago in support of Starmer’s stance back when he said no to the US using our bases. I pointed out that the fart was colluding with our enemy (Putin) against us. My MP said they were broadly in agreement with the stance in reply.

Hopefully a few small voices in support will help.

@PandoraSocks it's currently 7:38pm in Iran right now so 22 minutes till who knows what.
I hope what ever is set off, is done strategically hopefully well place bombs already in place?
honestly if they got the pilots out with planes and army on the ground surely they could have placed some tactical bombs in strategic locations already?

Absolutely. There is a block of apartments opposite SIL that overlooks an IRGC unit. The IRGC unit has been bombed to shit by Israel, who are now also bombing the bomb site they created. No IRGC have been near the unit building for weeks because they are well established in tents on the streets.

A young woman sneaked onto the roof of the apartments last week to photograph the IRGC camps, presumably to try to evidence their tactics in the West.

She was shot dead by the IRGC right there on the roof, witnessed by SIL and others. In case anyone was wondering what a degraded morality police force looks like.

But yes, rise up Iranians… 🙄

i just want what ever happens to be strategic and not harm more citizens.

I think the poster was being sarcastic.

Wrong timezone. Eastern Time is US East coast time.
