Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it's on a 3 week cycle.
Almost like he's trying to distract from something.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I guess it is to normalise the call for a genocide in public.
That man does not think that far ahead. He just wants wants people to stop questioning the size of his hands (penis).
Almost like he's trying to distract from something.
With Operation Epstein Fury?? Naaaaw!
For fucking real. Stop reporting on what the man says he's going to do and report on what he actually does

I am never going to forget that the US political system failed to employ its supposed superior checks-and-balances against a mad president brandishing nuclear weapons.
Even if you guys elect AOC as your next president, you're not coming back from this, nobody should ever trust you again, unless you do some big constitutional reforms. The ancient antidemocratic Constitution that you revere is obsolete and antiquated and your quasi-religious devotion to it trash and downright dangerous. Just like Nazi Germany had to denazify, you fuckfaces need to de-american-exceptionalism-ify.
The US should never have been trusted, and no superficial “reforms” the dems push should change that.
Not only did our leadership handcraft the bullet they shot themselves with, they poured the gasoline in the barn and set if off at the same time.
USA is fucked for a long time. We've burned every bridge imaginable for a few dollars. I hate it here.

And none of his followers think anything about the potential annihilation of a whole country. Truly despicable. At least they'll keep each other company in Hell.
I remember when i was a kid my mom would say shit like "we wouldn't be in a war if we just bombed the shit out of them til there was nothing left." They dont see the people living in the middle east as people, they didnt 15 years ago and they dont now. there is zero empathy and its disgusting
It's just the natural continuation of a mentality that allowed "people" to come to a different land, rape and murder everyone in sight, settle in the graveyard they filled themselves, and still call themselves people, supported by God even. Nothing new, but the fact it's been over 200 years and it's still prevalent enough that Trump, the figurehead of Western imperialism and white supremacy, has over 30% approval rate, makes it all very sad. But John Brown existed, so I keep my hopes up that one day, God willing, humanity and the desire for peaceful coexistence will settle in the heart of "radical" Westerners.

In the 80s, Americans sported "Bomb Japan Again" bumper stickers. So being cunts is not new.

He decided he can't beat Canada. Back to Iran!
Next up, Greenland!
Trump backed down on Greenland when Europe said “nuh-uh”. He will go slaughter some starving cubans instead.
What a lionheart trump is.

Trump Says "Big Decision" Coming on Whether to "STEAL" Iran's Oil.
That’s always been the game. It’s why America toppled Iran’s democracy back in the 50s.
Iran has been expecting a military invasion their entire lives.
We sent some real estate agents.
Guess who won?

In two weeks he will have a concept of a plan.
I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me.
Trump is trying the Madman Theory again. With his usual bluntness and terrible poker face. Why would it work this time? Is he stupid?

LOL. If there was a big decision he wouldn't need to announce that it was coming.
It’s like when a parent gets frustrated and starts yelling at a kid without thinking anything through. “When we get home I’m gonna…well you just better hope I don’t decide to annihilate Iran, mister.”

This isnt even saber rattling anymore. Its just an old man threatening the kids to get off his lawn, except its not his lawn, its a lawn on TV, and they aren't even kids, they're deer.
I think Trump wants to nuke his enemies, and is trying to normalize the idea. Iran, Canada, Greenland, New York, California, Mexico, South Korea, anyone who simply disagrees with him.
It is my hope that the intelligence agencies of other nations are keeping close tabs on this. If need be, I hope they kill our nuclear codekeepers and destroy any means of launching the nukes.
Trump is the kind of mad man who would sooner see the world burn in fire, before allowing it to defy him.

Truman won't be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum

I feel like, and this isn't in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

wasn't he going to annihilate their whole culture in a week or sth?
But wait I thought they were already totally destroyed and decimated and annihilated and embarrassed and begging for a deal. President Warloser and the Secretary of War (crimes) couldn't be lying to me and the state of the "Trump Strait" that he definitely controls could he?
If a nuke flies we all need to stay home. No matter how important your job may be.

Any bets on him threatening annihilation again on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 and saying only a vote for him can prevent it?
By November he'll be threatening to drop nukes on US cities that vote against him.

The top cop, mister flip flop. He would nuke anybody if the spotlight were to get too close to the proof of his degeneracy.
It’s a race! Iran has been 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon since 1978. Trump has been 2 weeks away from annihilating iran for 6 months.
Trump propagandists could teach Zeno a thing or two about finish lines.
