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.

But the deadline is 8pm Eastern Time, i.e Washington time. It is just after midday there.

Thank you @Monty36

I think it's a bit unclear whether he mean 8 pm Iranian time or EST. He can only think in terms of tv schedules.

Trump belongs nowhere other than incarceration. The Hague awaits.

Huh? You think you can bomb a bridge? a Railway? etc etc without killing civilians?

Trump is a war criminal and if he goes ahead with this tonight, the World needs to sanction the USA (& Israel) to the same extant as we have dont to Russia... if we don't (we wont) might as well lift sanctions against Russia, buy their oil & gas and forget about Ukraine.

Even Putin never said he wanted to wipe out all of the Ukrainians and their civilisation.

Since the 2024 Election Farage had made at least seven trips to the US to cheerlead for Trump or attend events associated with the President.

He will say negotiations are going well and make another deadline. Meanwhile, the whole world sinks into an energy and financial crisis.

I normally try not to worry about the news but this is stressing me out. I trust America less than Putin right now. Trump will totally destabilise the west by flooding Europe with refugees. Then eventually who in the west will remain unchanged? America.

I can't see how this won't have a lasting impact on us re cost of living and therefore jobs for our youth.

Everyone is saying be fair, be kind, don't panic yet dick heads like himare saying slaughter a nation and steal their oil. He is the billionsir and I can't offord to fill my car up. Being a psychopath is certainly reaping rewards for Trump. Rich beyound measure and voted in on mass.

He really is. His wife, Gabby Giffords, was a Democrat Congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt where others were killed, although she was very badly injured (shot in the head) There was a twin study on him and his identical brother Scott, also an astronaut, who went to the ISS.

Some people say that he isn't 'charismatic enough' but from all I can see he has decent values, values bipartisan work and also, please save us all from any more so called 'charismatic' leaders who are actually narcissistic sociopaths.

Sky news has just interviewed a teary Iranian saying this is how desperate we are ,we had to ask another country to bomb us
She said in 47 years the irg wouldnt move an inch for the people.

Did they ask?

Do you believe it? Do you honestly believe that ordinary Iranians want their country bombed to oblivion? I’m shocked anyone believes this stuff tbh.

She has put herself in horrible danger. Did they hide her identity?

Jesus Christ are there still people banging on about Iran having nuclear weapons? Are people really still that stupid?

Newsflash. Iran does not have nuclear weapons.

Oh and just in case they had the potential, you might recall that around June last year Trump announced that the US had destroyed all Iran’s nuclear capabilities so if you think that was all retrieved in the space of nine months then you really are delusional.

This has nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

nothing to do with regime change.

And everything to do with oil, and power.

And the sheer irony of a country talking about eradicating nuclear capabilities and then talking in the same breath about using nukes is striking,, don’t you think?

Because there would be a counter-storm and the fragmentation of society. Civil war, even. America doesn't really hang together well as a nation. There are fault-lines.

I believe Biden's family were motivated by money. They very much wanted Biden to get another term in office because they knew if he didn't he'd be on the scrap heap. They knew he'd be totally unfit to do the usual (highly lucrative) ex-president speaking tours etc.

It's no coincidence that within weeks of Biden leaving office he was admitted to a 'nursing home' for treatment. You won't ever see him on any public stage ever again because, by now, I doubt he even knows his own name.

Nothing being done in Iran right now is strategic.

Yes, very dark, brave but reckless move by the young woman IMO, too risky and not going to make a lot of difference to the outcome even if she did send the pictures? The military strategists already know that this mission is out of it"s depth.

I don’t believe it for a second.

The regime is stronger than ever and there is no political appetite to change it, regardless of what the citizens want.

It isn't unclear at all.

It is 8pm Iranian time which will be 1am British summer time.

I read what I thought was clarification on the time - it's 1am BST and Trump said it's all going to be done within four hours! I really don't want to think what we'll wake up to tomorrow.

Trump isn't talking about taking out nuclear sites. The leaders and regime in Iran are awful, but the people of Iran are just ordinary people. They have families they love, friends they like spending time with. They will be doing the same sort of activities as people in any other country; working, studying, looking after their kids and pets, taking part in hobbies. These are the people that Trump is threatening with destruction of their civilisation. Can you explain to use how you can possibly think that this would be ok?

There are pictures of Iranians forming human chains over bridges. You think they want to be blown up?

I think we might already be in it.

I suspect what will happen is that about ten minutes before the deadline Trump will announce that the leadership have agreed to talks, and are begging him for a resolution, which of course will be bollocks, and they’ll deny it, and we’ll be back on the roundabout again tomorrow.
