    So genocide? You want to start a genocide? I mean at this point you could just say that and still remain President. I’m sure Mike Johnson already has an excuse locked and loaded.

    I have an idea:

    Why don’t they tell him he won the Peace Prize but has to pick it up in person (ID is required to pick up peace prizes)?

    Tell him it’s at The Hague.

    Then when he gets there slap the cuffs on.

      wait until more of America’s fleet is in Cypress for repairs so they only have a bazillion warships and warplanes available instead of 2 bazillion when you dare arrest the Commander in Cheese.

      That’s okay. Trumy pulls all his stats out of his, and sometimes it comes out on its own in the middle of a press conference on live TV.

    If he did that we wouldn’t have an economy because they’d destroy all the fossil fuel infrastructure in the Middle East.

    That is weird I thought we already won the war and Iran was giving big expensive gifts to Trump? Does this mean Trump was lying?!?!?! I am very shocked is something I would say if I recently had awoken from a coma I had been in since 2014.

    “A lot of people will say it’s a war crime because mostly these power plants are probably there for the civilian population,” said Clark, who warned “you cannot destroy civilian assets in an effort to put harm on the population.”

    He concluded, “Now, if you can show it has a military connection, that’s different. But if it’s simply to put pressure on the government by harming the civilian population, then that’s de jure– that’s a war crime.”

    You can tell it’s a war crime… Because of the way it is…

    It is in the same sentence/tweet as “Iran is very reasonable and we are likely to have a deal”. Israel prefers the genocide and no peace, even if it results in the same for GCC “US allies”. Israel has already vetoed this last weekend the “no attacks on infrasture yet” promise from Trump, and are accused of being responsible for destruction of Kuwait desalination plant.

    The only path to a peace deal, is for Iran to demand Trump to say Israel will never receive any US aid (including refueling/targeting support) again/his term, and not be eligible to buy US offensive weapons. Otherwise, talks are just a delay tactic to have Israel do the genocide.

    President Donald Trump threatened to destroy all of Iran’s power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants

    Most likely Iran has a secondary strike capability. Israel and GCC also have desal plants, you know.

    Alternate headline: “Fat, Old Turd Threatens To Send Toadies To Do Genocide For Him While He Gobbles Big Macs”.

    Brilliant idea, Donald.

    Because your decision to disrupt global energy markets hasn’t already caused enough problems. Let’s go ahead and make it worse.
