Iran Reportedly Warns Apple is Among Potential Targets

I think it would be a good thing if Trump backs down? Taunting him for being too cowardly to commit a bunch of war crimes feels counterproductive.
Selfishly I’d prefer he take the path that doesn’t involve blowing up 20% of the world’s oil tomorrow.

Of course.
I can only speak for myself: I’m not taunting him for being too cowardly to bomb Iran to smithereens, but for making the threat in the first place. This is not how a POTUS should behave, it is behaviour we expect from the leader of North Korea. I’m mostly frustrated that it took Iran to stand up to him and expose his overreaching tactics. EU had the chance of doing that several times already, rather than settling agreements in the 11th hour that Trump will then promptly ignore. Give a bully your lunch today, and you’ll have to do it again tomorrow.
What I expect will happen today is that Trump will make up some claim about diplomatic progress that would have been impossible if he was not president, and stand down.

Unfortunately, killing thousands of people just to get the gas price down ahead of elections is exactly the behaviour we've come to expect of one country in the world, and it's not North Korea. They used to be crafty about it, but Trump has no filter and says exactly what he's thinking, or been told to think. It's nice he's finally found an actual objective for his stupid war, it's just a shame, but not a surprise, that it's basically reversing the financial mess he's dumped on himself and his billionaire buddies.

Around three hours ago, Trump made a post on his social media page, which sounds like he is threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. I hope with every fiber of my being that I am wrong about that. Here's what that psychopath said:

Just rememer that is what Tim Cook donated money to. Don't believe Cook if he tries to go into damage-control mode afterward if Trump does something horrific.
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can...

I sure hope this is the most epic TACO TUESDAY ever.
Nobody, for any reason, should be threatening to destroy an entire civilization.

You’re right despots don’t threaten. They just do it. Pearl Harbor, 9/11 etc
Like Trump did, without notifying Congress, in Venezuela on January 3, and Iran on March 2?
Happy to hear that you acknowledge Trump is a despot.

He didn’t need to notify congress. He had the authority. And by extension then Trump is not a despot.

I don't understand the logic behind still defending the guy at this point. Give it up, Trump played everyone who voted for him.
I'm really concerned of what's going to happen tonight. He needs to go.

If you believe trump needs to go then Election Day should be a great day. Otherwise we are all entitled to our opinions and to vote for the candidate of our choice.
That is, if you are sure, you won't be voting in a psychopath, whatever the party.

I share the opinion of many, from now both sides of the political aisle, that we invoke the 25th on him.

He needs to be impeached and removed today. Threatening to commit war crimes is in and of itself a war crime.
And, you might have to change the US constitution, taking away the dictatorial powers of the president. Right now, there's one who is going crazy.

Republicans won’t want to change it until a Dem is in office. Then everything will change, and they’ll once again be worried about the national debt.
He’s been getting regular medical treatments done at Walter Reed for his advancing dementia. He won’t make it to 2028.
That means the Americans don't have any rights, even though you call yourselves as free people. Just because you have arms, you can't threaten another civilisation, to threaten to destroy it. That's utter madness!

You mean like other civilizations have done to us in the past? But unlike Trump they weren’t faking it.
You see, all other civilisations out there are very much older than America by thousands of years.
