Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran and said that if officials fail to make a deal with the United States “the whole country is going to get blown up.”

The president also made threats Sunday morning to target civil infrastructure after it was reported that Iranian forces were refusing to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

    Absolutely crazy how many terminally online people casually call for someone to just throw their life away.

      I mean at least 1/3 of Americans say it’s why we have the 2nd amendment. And 2/3 of the Supreme Court would likely agree, just they wouldn’t admit we are at that point where it is necessary. It’s ingrained in our culture down to the American revolution. But yeah, whenever leftist groups arm themselves they get wiped out, see the Black Panthers as an example.

      Saying you’re surprised something hasn’t happened is a long shot from encouraging that it’s done.

      With the amount of unstable and desperate people out there I’m surprised nobody’s kidnapped Elon musks kids for ransom. I don’t wish his kids any harm, and don’t hope it happens, but I’m still a bit surprised that it hasn’t happened when you consider the amount of people out there with nothing to lose, questionable morals, and a big desire to make a lot of money.
