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.

    So Americans, are you really going to let this clearly unhinged man drive the world into nuclear Armageddon? You will cling on to the jobs you say you hate until the last second of doom lest you find balls and do anything?

      As much as I hate to admit it, because I am one, modern Americans are wimps.

      I mean…we’re letting a criminal pedophile drive our futures into the dirt. As in, we will see a decline in the quality of our lives, for the remainder of our lives.

      It’s not really a matter of opinion. We’re weaklings.

      Whether “America The Brave” was true at some point or just propaganda, the bottom line is we’re completely and totally pathetic right now. An absolutely shameful time to be an American citizen.

        What exactly are we supposed to do? Our government commands some of the world’s most advanced intelligence agencies. The military would easily crush any armed resistance. But for all the talk of electoralism being ineffective, they managed to oust Orbán in Hungary after 16 years of him ratfucking their democracy. I don’t think the U.S is so far gone that we can’t turn this whole saga into a history lesson in 2028. The path to that starts in the midterms, so we need to vote like the future of this country depends on it because it does.

          I would have thought the same but you guys (speaking generally of course) reelected the Child Rapist and not 2 weeks ago, still voted a republican back to Congress to replace MTG…

          So yes, there is a theoretical chance to get rid of this problem via voting… but something tells me Americans are unable to learn lessons anymore

          Oh please. Whoever gets the Dem nomination is going to continue all the evil warmongering and disastrous economic corruption Trump is guilty of, they’ll just be less obnoxious about it.

          So you blindly hate people from a country because of what it’s “leaders” are doing? What other countries do you arbitrarily hate their people? Just curious how deep this national prejudice/bigotry goes.

          I sure as fuck didn’t vote for him, bold claim to imply I did. And you avoided answering the fucking question I asked. What would you have us do, realistically? Answer the fucking question instead of using blind prejudice/bigotry as a defense.

            Not blindly as said citizens are responsible for electing this particularly shitty regime TWICE… and not “hate”, just disapproval

            I sure as fuck didn’t vote for him, bold claim to imply I did.

            I never said you did… it’s called “generalization”, look it up

            What would you have us do, realistically?

            Protest… look what French people do when their gov does shitty stuff. At this point I would settle for anything that is not what you are doing, which is pretending to be hapless victims of your own shitty doing.

            Answer the fucking question instead of using blind prejudice/bigotry as a defense.

            I see you live up to the American standard and read at a 6th grade level.

            Your first questions was “why do the citizens get blamed?” and I told you it’s because you voted this gov in TWICE…

    USA by criminals for criminals. Absolutely disgusting country, just as bad as Putin’s Russia.
    To the American population: The fact that you elected this corrupt criminal pedophile malignant narcissist of a moron twice will never be forgotten - never!

        Edit: I read the above as sarcasm, I don’t think Germany is still shunned, but it is for sure still remembered what they did in WW2.

        Original post:
        Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.
