Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

    Voting against Hitler isn’t garbage because those in opposition could have influenced Harris or used their intact democracy to work on the issue by primaring dems.

      Yeah but they saved gaza!

      Only they didnt. If anything their efforts have started to associate anti-genocide with a disaster like trump and practically guarantee people either switch off in disgust of their rethoric or just jump to the other side to avoid all the tankie bullshit.

        So you’re saying your party is so pro-genocide that they can’t even convince people they meet Republican moral standards, which basically don’t exist.

        Harris isn’t responsible for how we vote that is our and only our responsibility.

        They did the beat job providing a convincing platform they knew how obviously insufficient but she like us got one vote

                I’m not a nationalist I’m a realist. This is why I voted for Harris and support armed forces to enforce a truce in Gaza and no further military aid to Israel.

                You can feel however you like about the choices you have in front of you are still morally obliged to pick the least bad even if you aren’t happy with either but extremely simple principals.

        1. Organizations other than the CIA are capable of distributing food and vaccines

        So you don’t care how many poor people die as long as “US bad”. I’m glad their lives are bargain chips to you
