    This statement from Trump is unsurprisingly disinformation. Most people interpret “nuclear sites” as nuclear bombs instead of completely legal power stations for civilian infrastructure.

    Please don’t recite this disinformation uncritically. That’s just recycling propaganda.

    Instead it’s worth emphasizing that the zio regime actually has rogue nukes and is using them to threaten the planet with a nuclear holocaust. That’s the actual problem.

    The worst part is, international laws and conventions are basically means nothing at this point. US actions simply incentivizes more countries to get mass-destruction weapons.

    • Does US call you as 51. state? Get a nuke.
    • Does US want to invade your island? Get a nuke.
    • Does US want to airstrike your country? Get a nuke.
    • Does US government officials breach your constitutional rights? Maybe consider owning a mini-nuke.

    Thanks to these maniacs, Kim Jong Un now seems to be wisest person on the earth…

    This is what happens after a failure of a parade and being laughed at enough to leave the g7 early. This was his ego boost he needed. Oh. And oil or something.

    The Saudis and Israel repeating their influence on the USA. Iraq was first and Iran has been on a waiting list for a long fucking time.

      Yes, as uus presidents usually do since WW2. But don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll tell you “THATS NOT US”, and it’s just Trump and definitely not a systemic problem.

        The POTUS has the discretionary power to send troops and launch a military action without Congress approval in case of emergency alone. There wasn’t any emergency.

    A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site…NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

    How the F*** can anyone use these two lines in a single paragraph. Absurdity here is comical

    What an absolute joke.

    I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. “This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!”

    peck peck peck “B-O-M-B-S”

    Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. “Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs.”

    Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

    Then ends it with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

    It’s such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he’s keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

    Absolutely deranged.

    Just going add early now since no one is talking about it yet, this is why nuclear isn’t the way over renewables. Because as soon as any country wants a domestic nuclear energy program, the US will have a freebie wildcard to bomb them.

    Little baby Trump must have really had some diaper rash from all of the taco memes after he mentioned the two-week window.

    Any American blood spilled by Iran if/when they retaliate will be on Trump’s hands.

    This feels a lot like start of a WW3 for the third time in past few years.

    First it was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel Hamas conflict, now its this.

      WW2 didn’t start overnight. There was a series of military actions that went unchallenged. That only made the belligerents bolder.

        Indeed. WW2 was a massive slow-walk into the full war. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.

        At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

    How many bombs did he drop on Russia? Because he said he would end the war against Ukraine.
