cool cool cool so we're just doing this openly now, no pretense, just straight up advertising violations of the laws of war on a tuesday
Yeah, it's genuinely terrifying that we've reached a point where a former president can casually threaten international crimes and half the country either cheers or shrugs.
i mean threatening to destroy a whole country's infrastructure is pretty different from normal posturing about military readiness, that's the actual story here
Look I didn't vote for Trump to start wars in Iran, I voted for him to secure our SOUTHERN BORDER and he's actually doing that!! Can we please focus on what's actually affecting Americans right now instead of this?
YES! Border security IS what matters most to us and our families, and at least he's actually following through unlike the last guy!
guy says shit like this every other week and nothing happens, yall getting worked up over headlines while actual policy stays the same
If Iran wants to keep its infrastructure intact maybe don't attack American interests, just a thought.
"Stone Ages" rhetoric plays great to his base but yeah let's definitely broadcast our war crimes strategy to the entire world, what could go wrong
that headline is doing so much work lol, "revels in" is such a loaded word choice when he's basically doing the same tough talk every president does before negotiations

yeah this language is reckless but let's be real, every president threatens military action they probably won't follow through on. the "back to stone ages" rhetoric is bad optics though.
