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.

so then why not give iran a nuke, see what the do, and when they use it, will everyone then agree with trump being correct about iran ?

Please take @FindingMeno’s advice.

It's Trump. He just rambles and talks shite. Just ignore him, the best you can.

Yeh, right.
Tell that to the thousands of innocent people being maimed and killed.
He’s got a whole bunch of religious fanatics behind him, egging him on, all willy-waving at no rubbing their hands in glee at playing war games for real.

Don't be so ridiculous. If western nations have the right to want nuclear weapons, so do others. You must think America and its allies are better than the Iranians, coming out with something like that. I bet you come from a family who thought the British were superior to the Germans too. 🙄

i bet many countries thought they were better than nazi germany ? unless of course by your own logic you think the nazis were just as equal as any other nation ?

Is it a crime for a country to develop nukes? What law? Who gets to say which countries can have them and which can’t?

theres international agreement's that limit the development of weapons

And then he would become a matyr and the MAGAs would really have a field day.

It would certainly cause huge problems, but don’t you have to have an ideology to be a martyr? To die for a cause? Trump seems to believe in nothing except for aggrandising and enriching himself, and his MAGA supporters likewise.

exactly this

We voted for brexit and Boris Johnson.

We can't claim any moral high ground.

I'm not sure where you live but here in the UK, if you - say - went to the centre of town / a public area and proclaimed you would "wipe it out tonight", you would be arrested and locked up. Whether or not you were just rambling and talking shite.

Why is everyone blaming trump ? if iran commits the crimes of trying to develop nukes etc then surley the blame is with the criminal ? and the countys leaders ?

Iran appeared to be adhering to the JCPOA. In 2018, Trump in a tantrum, because Obama had negotiated it, essentially withdrew from the JCPOA. Iran, therefore was not in violation of the agreement in continuing to develop their nukes. By all accounts, they were still a long way off. Plus, Trump allegedly, according to his own words, had already destroyed their nuclear programme in the earlier bombing, which went largely unanswered for by Iran.

So, which is it? Oh, right, doesn't matter to the Trump defenders.

Your argument doesn’t stand. Iran signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, so it’s legally restricted and inspected. Countries like Israel, India and Pakistan didn’t sign it and already have nukes with far less oversight. So the issue isn’t just ‘who’s at fault’ — it’s the double standard. Plus, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal removed limits and inspections, which made things worse.

Fuck. ING. HELL. He's completely demented. It can't be ignored or minimised any more.

Haven’t you learnt not to be trolled by what Trump says yet?

It's not just trolling, though, is it? "What Trump says" has already led to the deaths of at least 2000 innocent civilians in Iran, to say nothing of the countless others who have been maimed, bombed out of their homes, or who have had to leave them to save their lives. For any sane world leader, that would weigh very heavily indeed, but he just blocks it out and tells himself that it's anyone's fault except his.

MyGammyEye · 07/04/2026 15:35

I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, therefore I'll attack and free the Iranian people to be able to choose their own leaders and way of life, freeing them essentially.

Oh that didn't work, let's just kill them all and bring global chaos instead.

It's not so much about him getting sectioned, he needs to be taken out. For dinner of course. He might choke on a fishbone.

Fuck it, there must be some Novichok left over in a wig spray canister. Looking lovely Donald. A little more on the left.... Sorry, I meant the right...

Exhibit A on why Brexit happened and Trump was elected.

Yorkshirelass04 · 07/04/2026 15:37

Nasty Nigel of Reform fame is Trump's mate, remember. Stalks him all round Mar a Lago. Hopefully this is the end to that shower as well.

Wellthisisdifficult · 07/04/2026 15:37

The world is rapidly heading towards a crunch point where empires will rise and fall. It’s been ramping up for a while now.whether people like it or not there are several threats to Western civilisation- Trump is not the person to defend it, but it does need defending

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.

Exactly this.

Both Iranian civilians and US military personnel will die and for what?!

For giant baby's tantrums!
