President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is weighing whether or not to “annihilate” Iran in a renewed effort to end the illegal 201-day US-Israeli war of choice, musings that came on the heels of a report by United Nations experts who said the United States likely committed war crimes during earlier attacks on the Middle East nation.
“I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them, or do I not?” Trump told Axios’ Barak Ravid. “It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.”
I’m betting he’s going to nuke 'em. He already moved nuclear bombers into the Middle East. The ecconomic ramifications of that (initial and long term) ontop of the international backlash from that would signal the true end of the American empire, which might cause guillotines to be rolled out. I’d honestly not know how the US would continue on as a country in that outcome.
It’d probably break down along partisan lines that mirror the Civil War’s lines. The South would rage and bring back slavery (they really hated losing them such that this grevience persists into today’s politics). Wish I lived in a northern state. Putin would really have gotten a bang for his buck in that situation.

Let’s hope that if it comes to that, the military won’t follow his deranged, genocidal orders. That would definitely be the right time for a coup.
People also said that the military would not follow him into committing war crimes but here we are.
I know it’s wishful thinking but a nuke is not on the same level as blowing up boats.
Kegsbreath has been priming the military for such occasions.
Yup. Double tapping the boats inthec Caribbean was a test run on committing atrocities
Is he aware that China has said any country that uses a nuke will be met with a nuke? Also Putin will nuke Ukraine the day after. Earth could be a nuclear hellscape 48 hours later or less…
That threat works in game theory, but only with the assumption that all players are rational.
Can he do that? A nuclear strike would need others to go with the plan or not?
To initiate a launch of weapons of mass destruction, it requires the approval of the National Command Authority (NCA). That’s an impressive sounding name, but the NCA consists of only two people: The President and his political appointee, the Secretary of Defense.
-Explained here.
It comes out of the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Essentially, Congress delegated its war powers to the president and his loyalist. So, basically, it’d boil down to tRump and Pete Kegsbreath agreeing to nuke Iran. Maybe some in the military would not carry out the order, but how unlikely would it be that they couldn’t find ONE MAGAt to carry out their orders?
Welp
I can just imagine the two shake hands afterwards congratulating each other on the decision.
I think in the past there would have been a tacit expectation that one consults with allies at least for some logistics, but currently there is no such expectation I assume, and there is certainly no such requirement. What a catastrophe it would be. One from which humanity may never recover.

Our country is run by a dementia ridden terrorist
What a fucking dumbshit. He’ll talk a big game, back down and cower like the dandruff brained dimentia riddled pedophile he is.

“anything could happen with me”
sounds like a good argument for the 25th.
The only thing he’ll annihilate is one of the white house bathrooms.
This is just so fucking insane. Low-t needs to be locked up.
“The missiles are flying. Hallelujah, hallelujah.”
