Donald Trump has threatened that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks US vessels trying to reopen a route through the strait of Hormuz.

The US launched an operation on Monday to help hundreds of ships trapped with their crews in the Gulf, dragging the region back to the brink of full-scale war.

Over 800 ships and roughly 20,000 crew members remain stranded in the region.

    This is that elementary school bully that walks up to a kid and punches them because they think it’s funny, but when the kid punches back the bully goes crying straight to the teacher.

    This will ensure that all countries will develop nukes otherwise they will be defenseless against nuke owning states.

      Honestly even if Congress is swept by Democrats, I would be completely unsurprised if the controlled opposition faction of the DNC (read: the vast majority of them) does nothing at all due to how diViSiVE it would be. And even if they do, the Tribunal of Six will probably try to declare impeachment unconstitutional or something like that.

        The leftist candidates that have been winning these various special elections by double-digit spreads over highly-favored right-wing candidates are not dems, they’re progressives. Same label, very different flavor.

        And I am totally here for that. It’s been fun watching them quietly form a party within the party.

          Couldn’t agree more, The both sides of the same argument ignores the very real change that is happening in America and may not change the Democratic party overnight but the differences are real and they’re starting to accumulate.

          Now that’s definitely not where we should stop but those people in the right positions can buy us the space to make real change via direct action, unions and community support networks.

    Trump has become Kim Jong Un at this point.
    “We’re going to blow up everything! Just you watch!”

    Let me tell you, Don… They’re not listening to you. No one is listening to you. Laughing at you maybe, but no one is seriously paying attention to your late night war mongering ramblings.

    He couldnt even successfully escort ships for 2 days. And he is not able to keep those ships supplied. How is he going to threaten iran with much of anything? What are we going to do, bleed on them?

      Take the Gerald Ford and send it drifting into one of their ports. A flaming disease riddled nuclear fireship.

    Remember when people thought Biden/Kamala were big bad genociders and didn’t vote or voted 3rd party, resulting in Pedo Don becoming president, and now Pedo Don is casually talking about wiping a nation of people out of existence?

    Good job guys.
