Trump Says 'Big Decision' Coming on Whether to 'Annihilate' Iran
a month ago by return2ozma to c/world
Iran should announce they will have talks after the Epstein files are released.
I am never going to forget that the US political system failed to employ its supposed superior checks-and-balances against a mad president brandishing nuclear weapons.
Even if you guys elect AOC as your next president, you're not coming back from this, nobody should ever trust you again, unless you do some big constitutional reforms. The ancient antidemocratic Constitution that you revere is obsolete and antiquated and your quasi-religious devotion to it trash and downright dangerous. Just like Nazi Germany had to denazify, you fuckfaces need to de-american-exceptionalism-ify.
The US should never have been trusted, and no superficial “reforms” the dems push should change that.
Not only did our leadership handcraft the bullet they shot themselves with, they poured the gasoline in the barn and set if off at the same time.
USA is fucked for a long time. We've burned every bridge imaginable for a few dollars. I hate it here.
Calling people subhuman and cockroaches is 100% Nazi rhetoric. You're part of the problem.
All this unhinged fuck is doing is spewing this nazi debauchery everywhere he appears, and the mods are doing nothing to stop him, all they do is just remove a comment from time to time.
Extremely disturbing.
Nope. Nazis (conservatives) are in fact vile, subhuman cockroaches. I will never humanize nazis. That doesn't make me a nazi. That makes me normal. Stop defending nazis.
No, it 100% makes you no better than a Nazi.

We need to redact every single subhuman conservative cockroach from our nation. There is no peaceful solution and there can be no coexistence. We desperately need to finish our civil war. And this time, instead of stopping short and showing mercy to vile, subhuman vermin, we need to finish the fkn job completely. Conservatives are cancer and we are long overdue for the painful, permanent cure.
A final solution! Your honesty is appreciated.
The Radical Republicans tried to put Gen. Sherman in charge of Reconstruction, but backed down under pressure. Let's do it right this time. Year Zero the motherfuckers.
Your post is just more indication why the USA just needs to end. If you're saying to want to impose your will on other Americans out of hateful spite, you're part of the problem. Americans practice hating each other every day and sometimes that hatred boils over and impacts other countries. Your culture is built on hate and as you point out, it's been this way for centuries.
I don't think a one state solution is viable any more for the USA. You shouldn't be thinking in terms of getting revenge on other Americans, you should be thinking in terms of breaking up the country.
Can't negotiate with fascist religious supremacists.
You LITERALLY can't compromise with any of that
The only problem the US has is conservatives existing in it. They are the sole source of every evil act the US has ever done. Every single single time. If destroying conservatives would result in the US dying, then we can agree. But the disease is absolutely conservatism.
I am never going to forget that the US political system failed to employ its supposed superior checks-and-balances against a mad president brandishing nuclear weapons.
Are you talking about Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump 1, Biden, or Trump 2?
(Carter gets a pass I think, don't tell me if he did anything murderous like the others, allow me one good one thank you)
As far as I know (maybe I'm wrong), even if each of these fucks was a war crimina in his own right, they didn't go around threatening to use a nuclear first strike to annihilate a civilization. There is something particularly evil about the brandishing of unclear weapons.
And none of his followers think anything about the potential annihilation of a whole country. Truly despicable. At least they'll keep each other company in Hell.
I remember when i was a kid my mom would say shit like "we wouldn't be in a war if we just bombed the shit out of them til there was nothing left." They dont see the people living in the middle east as people, they didnt 15 years ago and they dont now. there is zero empathy and its disgusting
It's just the natural continuation of a mentality that allowed "people" to come to a different land, rape and murder everyone in sight, settle in the graveyard they filled themselves, and still call themselves people, supported by God even. Nothing new, but the fact it's been over 200 years and it's still prevalent enough that Trump, the figurehead of Western imperialism and white supremacy, has over 30% approval rate, makes it all very sad. But John Brown existed, so I keep my hopes up that one day, God willing, humanity and the desire for peaceful coexistence will settle in the heart of "radical" Westerners.
Every people has some black stains on their past...but it really seems like white people are the last ones to realize it.
We (white people) are the bad guys.
There's been lots of bad guys, but for the past millenia or so, white people have been and continue to be the worst.
We're #1?
I guess what we have to accept is that if we're not the bad guys, then someone else is and then we are the oppressed. So we can't just forfeit being the world's assholes, because somebody else will do it to us!
In my opinion, wealth is the primary driving factor of that. Exploitation and abuse of the bottom by the top seems to occur in nearly every culture that doesn’t put in strict safeguards to neuter the privileged.
The British empire dominated so much of the globe that the white elites advanced to the Olympic level of exploitation, but if we blame it on their color alone, we are leaving the back door open for other ghoulishly rich groups to stand in their place.
I believe the real issue is the aristocratic class. In England, it was determined by heredity, and in America, it is determined by money, but the kind of person who inhabits that role is the same: mean spirited selfish assholes who fundamentally believe they are better than everyone else and that they deserve to get everything they want because the average Joe is inferior to them in every way. They think normal people serve no purpose unless they are serving the needs of an elite.
That attitude strikes me as profoundly anti-human, and I think they should be treated as what they are: a predator that threatens the entire species who must be eliminated for the common good.
Why take this to a racial place?
Dozens of African warlords with their private armies of child soldiers would like a word with you.
The only reason they're not doing this on a global scale is that colonialism has crippled those countries for centuries, so their stolen wealth is running western countries now.
Make no mistake, human malice knows no bounds of skin color or religion.
In the 80s, Americans sported "Bomb Japan Again" bumper stickers. So being cunts is not new.
damn, just imagine if instead of doing that, they’d exhibited some solidarity(I’m assuming it’s about manufacturing jobs related to cars)?
I bet if Americans had held strikes in response to layoffs OR chosen not to buy foreign cars back then, today their unions would be stronger and their cars wouldn’t be so… wasteful (in many ways). Sure does suck to suck.
Trump supporters are selfish people. The fact millions of innocent people would die is less important to them than the fact it will increase the price they pay at the pump
At least they're upset with the war because of gas prices, I guess
It is! But how I feel about it doesn't make it any more or less true. And likewise, I try to behave in ways to avoid the same ending, even if it means less hedonistic enjoyment and material comfort.
I'm sure many rich and powerful people agree with you. 🤷♂️
Yeah, what a rube! They have beliefs that bring them comfort and that compel them to treat others well. So stupid.
Hasn't Iran already been annihilated several times?
they re-nihilated.
The last thing I read was that the US runs low on interceptors while Iran restarted its missile production.
Don't you know that iran is a phoenix?
He decided he can't beat Canada. Back to Iran!
Next up, Greenland!
Trump backed down on Greenland when Europe said “nuh-uh”. He will go slaughter some starving cubans instead.
What a lionheart trump is.
My only problem with "backed down" is that he says a lot all the time, but what he does or not does is completely different. He hasn't actually taken any action against Greenland, just talked about it. (That company that was going to drill is, as far as I can tell, not related to the Trumps in any meaningful way)
So not that I disagree with you per se, but.... Iran he has actually attacked, although not invaded (ground troops).
I'm picturing a spinner with all the countries he likes to threaten. He spins the arrow and decides which one to threaten next
Trump Says "Big Decision" Coming on Whether to "STEAL" Iran's Oil.
Iran has been expecting a military invasion their entire lives.
We sent some real estate agents.
Guess who won?
Now WHY would you tell the WORLD that you are out of ammo??? No logic there.
What I suspect is a special "someone" owns the munitions factory that "desperately" needs to be in high gear right NOW. There's some logic here.
That's SOP for this president. Gee some more logic.
Maybe Friday's when Dr Feelgood gives him his happy shot.
He's going to nuke them.
Which would tank the stock market so I’m gunna play the crash stock market game
What's bad for people, is usually good for the markets.
Why would it tank the stock market? The stock market is perfectly happy to ignore the long term implications of climate change. Why wouldn't it ignore the sudden increase in the risk of nuclear proliferation and war?
Because nuking Iran will turn a 90% blockade on oil tankers into a 100% blockade on anything that looks like a ship.
Welll climate change is a theory even though science says it’s a thing once stock market, if he actually nukes some one it’s reality
So a normal Tuesday for Trump.
Yeah, and...?
Conservatives will never impeach the most accurate representative of conservatism they've ever had.
If conservatives wanted to stop him, they already would have. They hold both chambers of congress. They will never do that because he is doing exactly what they want. Trump is conservatism incarnate. A perfect reflection of all conservatives. He is them.
Conservatism brings only sickness, oppression and death. This has always been true throughout all human history.
I think he's talking about nuking them. The fact he says decision coming up, makes me think they've been delaying and putting off the conversation because even the dipshits controlling this situation know that's going to start ww3 and it won't go well for them, financially at least.
getting trashed by cheap drones from iran, which were reverse engineered.
More taxes on the poor probably. Tariffs on all the things +20%!
Is that what Putin's dingleballs are called?
Lol. Well done
Sure, Jan.
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Can I see it?
How much could a Brady Bunch reference cost Michael, 10 dollars?
LOL. If there was a big decision he wouldn't need to announce that it was coming.
It’s like when a parent gets frustrated and starts yelling at a kid without thinking anything through. “When we get home I’m gonna…well you just better hope I don’t decide to annihilate Iran, mister.”
I'm going to turn this car around right now!
Dude's vague posting like a twitter influencer
That's just to destabilize NATO. Russia has been gradually dialing up the provocations for the past two or three years, in hopes of triggering a conflict that will expose NATO's fault lines.
And also giving Israelis free healthcare…
Trump is literally doing to the Patrick from Spongebob: “another 20 billion to Israel!” meme
I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me.
Trump is trying the Madman Theory again. With his usual bluntness and terrible poker face. Why would it work this time? Is he stupid?
"anything could happen with me". Excellent! My hope is on his very unsuspicious death!
It's very unstable, for the totally stable genius, to essentially justify annihilation with the schizophrenia of "Am I crazy enough, punk, Am I?" vs "Mission accomplished for 6 months already. We'll just leave, but only after the midterms because we need to talk about something other than mission accomplished"
But wait I thought they were already totally destroyed and decimated and annihilated and embarrassed and begging for a deal. President Warloser and the Secretary of War (crimes) couldn't be lying to me and the state of the "Trump Strait" that he definitely controls could he?
I feel like, and this isn't in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.
If the UN ever enforces a resolution, it should be this one. This war has not changed my mind anout Iran having nukes, but it has become crystal clear that the US should NOT have nukes.
It like saying to a judge you should put a person in jail after conviction. A judge like the UN has no executive power
This is already covered by ICJ:
the threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, and in particular the principles and rules of humanitarian law; However, in view of the current state of international law, and of the elements of fact at its disposal, the Court cannot conclude definitively whether the threat or use of nuclear weapons would be lawful or unlawful in an extreme circumstance of self-defence, in which the very survival of a State would be at stake;
nothing says good guy like annihilate.
One of the LEGO Star Wars specials has a Droid name NI-L8
Truman won't be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum
I think you mean using the bomb saved American lives. Because hundreds of thousands died because of said bombs. And they were overwhelmingly civilians.
including all the issues from radiation decades later? Honest question, but things like that often get overlooked. E.g aftermath of 9/11 cleanup has killed more than 9/11.
It doesn’t really matter if you only add up casualties and extrapolate what a prolonged conventional war would have caused. Conventional raids killed hundreds of thousands of people too and most of it happened in the last 5-6 months of the war. Single raids like the Tokyo firebombing caused close to or maybe above 100k casualties in one night. It’s not difficult to arrive at estimates in the millions for another year of conventional bombing.
Where the argument fails is that there is no way Japan wouldn’t have surrendered anyway with much of its industry destroyed, half of its urban areas destroyed, the blockades, the USSR entering the war, etc. The atomic bombs sped it up by a few weeks at most.
This isnt even saber rattling anymore. Its just an old man threatening the kids to get off his lawn, except its not his lawn, its a lawn on TV, and they aren't even kids, they're deer.
I think Trump wants to nuke his enemies, and is trying to normalize the idea. Iran, Canada, Greenland, New York, California, Mexico, South Korea, anyone who simply disagrees with him.
It is my hope that the intelligence agencies of other nations are keeping close tabs on this. If need be, I hope they kill our nuclear codekeepers and destroy any means of launching the nukes.
Trump is the kind of mad man who would sooner see the world burn in fire, before allowing it to defy him.
There are several reports about him wanting to nuke something and other people in the room talking him down from it. He even wanted to nuke a fucking hurricane.
I'm terrified once he dissolves congress, he'll start nuking countries until the nukes run out
Take the streets
Well I might as well use a sick day before the impending nuclear payback hits the US. That of course depends on whether Human Resources allows it. They have always known what is best for my work and home life balance.
It’s a race! Iran has been 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon since 1978. Trump has been 2 weeks away from annihilating iran for 6 months.
Trump propagandists could teach Zeno a thing or two about finish lines.
According to this very credible guy, Iran has been weeks away from producing nukes... for the last 30 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x49j6yzokMk
Any bets on him threatening annihilation again on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 and saying only a vote for him can prevent it?
By November he'll be threatening to drop nukes on US cities that vote against him.
Big. Beautiful. Bombs. So many of them. People say to me, they say they're the BIGGEST bombs they've ever seen. And I believe them. Because you've never seen so many bombs like that. Only in America. Only in beautiful America could you get so many bombs.
I can just imagine him threatening to drop a nuke directly on CNN headquarters and, because this is how fucking stupid humanity is, CNN just reporting on it like it's just another day instead of getting the fuck out of there
He's already said that the Iran war would immediately end if Republicans are elected. Also, gas prices will be >$2 per gallon and everyone gets $5000.
He wants to commit a bigger genocide than Netanyahu.
pedo say what
Short of nukes, they're not competent enough to do so and the American economy and the people are not in a position to support a major ground offensive. Nukes probably wouldn't even work to destroy the political apparatus so it would just be mass murder.
I don't think the Army has any nukes. The Navy and the Air Force do.
No fucking clue. Depends how well they've purged the military leadership and replaced them with yes men and psychopaths. I would imagine the leadership of the last several decades would be very strongly opposed, ultimately I don't know if they'd refuse an order form the executive. You'd think nukes would require congressional approval except during a Congress declared war, but I don't think so.
If they don't everyone dies so they're likely to be be pretty motivated to say no. Given that the Soviet military back in the cold war refused to launch nukes I'm reasonably confident the human instinct for survival will override any theoretical respect they have for the executive.
Ok, grandpa. Let’s get you back to bed.
Unbelievably plausible.
"trump says"
Ohhhh, this will be good let's all listen to what the fat pedophile has to say!
Fuck, it's just as we've feared, the Yanks have developed used diaper catapult technology
High cholesterol says ‘Big Decision’ Coming on whether to ‘Annihilate’ Trump.
Is the pea-brain still alive or justcre-animated¿
big decision as to wether to continue with the distractions.
That's right, Iran! Any day now we might decide to start trying to win!
Just shut the fuck up, taco!!! God, we're all sick of your sorry ass!
This is 3rd or 4th time of making the threat. Hegseth is also making mission accomplished speeches, and saying SoH should be Europe's problem. Latter is not serious because its not his job to ask for help, but it would be way less serious if nukes were flying by the time Europe got there. I think this is all more of an end of war (withdrawal) preparation, than the 4th time being the one where the most psycho part of the brain wins.
Is he going to issue the order from inside a dinner dolly bunker?
So no one has even told him about Mutually Assured Destruction? All these damn times! Or is he a senile old man that shouldn’t be president like how republicans said Biden was?
Has no one ever told you about mutually assured destruction? Because you seem to be ignoring the requirements for that condition...
You got me there. I don’t think everyone having nukes leads to true peace just this queazy unease. I think once any country fire off a nuke it’s all or nothing. One of my greatest fears indeed. While I doubt Iran possesses the capability. It’s not a road I want to go down. If even on their best days they were able to get even one nuke to the US. With so many geopolitical issues among nuclear powers I fear it would trigger a domino effect of nuclear war. A lot of people used to wave off the nuclear threats from North Korea as the rantings of a mad man. However with a more capable power like the US. It’s hard to laugh it off.
The point that I'm trying to get at is that mutually assured destruction is a condition that can only exist between two nuclear powers. It's right in the name - mutual and assured.
If Trump decides to glass Tehran, there's no reason why that would trigger a full nuclear exchange between the US, Russia, and China. It would break the nuclear taboo and make it more likely for those countries to use nukes to solve their problems in the future, but there would be zero chance of Russia just immediately deciding to commit suicide because Iran got nuked. I can't see Putin going, "well, Terhan got nuked. Guess we better launch all of ours and kill everyone for some reason!"
The whole point of MAD is that it is both mutual and assured. Both sides need to represent a threat so great to the other that both know they are guaranteed to die in a nuclear exchange. MAD exists between the US and Russia because both sides can send so many nukes flying that the destruction of both sides is guaranteed. That simply does not exist in the case of Iran.
Now, you're right that traditionally it's been assumed that firing one nuke would lead quickly to a total nuclear exchange. But that assumption is based on Cold War-era wargames that tried to game out what a limited nuclear war between nuclear powers would look like. What those simulations found was that even if you set out trying to just use a few tactical nuclear weapons, things quickly spiral tit-for-tat until both sides are launching hundreds of megaton city busters. That is valid for the case of war between nuclear powers, but it's not at all applicable in conflicts between nuclear and non-nuclear powers.
Yeah, if he was able to make the military do that, he probably would have the first time he mentioned it. Instead we got TACO.
Now I'm going to sit forward and play properly
he also has no plan beyond his best friend not reaching the airwaves.
What would anyone do if US Nukes Iran. No one will even bat an eye, sanctions would be far out of realm. West wouldn't even lose sleep over it. What more brown people dead would make any difference.
Global south and Middle East better find better partners.
Retaliatory strike from China immediately, WWIII begins, game over.
China would do what US, Iran, Russia has been doing. Fund proxies to wage terrorism in and around China rather than striking back at US. It may also make North Korea to bomb US rather than it bombing directly.
If only the brown people in the US would rise up
no we won’t. we’re too tired and scared of losing healthcare when we get fired for rioting.
what we will do is pray Iran uses one back. On mainland US soil. Heck, uses 50 of them back. We deserve, 100%, to get our teeth kicked in.
I'd like to die in a nuclear blast. They can just hit everything between Bremerton and Olympia Washington and I'll be good.
Riot now, what the fuck is the goddamn holdup!?
You won't riot, you'll just move the goalposts to "if he invades Canada we'll riot" or "if he puts minorities in camps we'll riot" or "if he starts arresting political opponents we'll riot" and then you still won't when he does those things
nah, you'll see a couple protestors on your feed holding signs. feel glad that "at least somebody is doing something" and then continue to go into work, watch prime, netflix, game, etc. buy groceries. eat snacks. sleep in when you can. maybe write a few angry comments and share a few posts. but you value your life, and the lives of your friends and family.
like everyone else. just waiting for "jesus to come back".
and thats basically it.

Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it's on a 3 week cycle.
Almost like he's trying to distract from something.
