Trump doesn’t seem to understand that the Iranian government will not back down and will trade civilian lives for survival. He’s been unable to separate the idea of the citizenry from the Mullahs or IRGC.

"A civilization is a complex, organized society characterized by urban development (cities), specialized labor, social hierarchies, and shared institutions like government, religion, and writing. It represents a high level of cultural and technological advancement, generally sustained by agricultural surplus..

Whole civilization will die... does that mean citizens or does that mean structure? I don't hold Trump to be a genocidal maniac and actually take his post as a threat of destruction of government, institutions, technology.

Home schooled?

This messaging comes off as a guy who feels cornered and is threatening to blow up everything as a last resort.

My hope is after this, he will say thanks to my aggressive messaging we have secured a great peace deal. "They knew we weren't messing around and they came to the table"

Spin it as a win and end this stupid conflict.

Yep, and that is typical Middle East. We all know this.

I am fully expecting a ceasefire agreement to be reached sometime today OR an extension of the deadline because "talks are ongoing".

There is no way Trump carries through with this threat. He just will not do it.

He's a clown being cheered on by other clowns believing that clown like actions are actually sane .

Do you have anything to add or are you just in here to sling what you believe to be insults?

I would also assume the inclusion of it in his post is more to our benefit to know.


So the message then is just to take up space on the internet and has zero value because anyone who reads it is very unlikely to do anything about it.

I'm not sure if I was oppressed and my liberators destroyed bridges and left me without power or running water and the impending health crisis to follow, if I would be gracious of their actions.

Ridiculous. We've gone from "we going to liberate the Iranian people" to "we are going to destory your civilization". This isn't a coherent strategy. And it's putting the US in a bad position.

I'm not too keen on hurting and or causing the death of innocent civilians. If we could have taken Maduro out sooner and established a higher and more efficient output of oil from Venezuela and just choked off any trade that Iran did with their oil it would have been a better outcome then destroying the means of power generation in Iran and have innocent people die from it.

Brah, you just don’t understand 5431degeee chess.

You weren’t in the planning room.

I know he said he was going to bomb bridges and power plants on TACO Tuesday. He didn’t mean that. And if he did he just changed his mind.

It's a carrot, a stick, and I believe an invitation for Iranian people to do their thing if they are so inclined.


And if they’re not so inclined, then frick ‘em. They’re part of the problem.

I think he's focusing on Kharg at the moment.

I would bet the citizens already knew they were in for a rough ride on the way to freedom- that's kind of how these things go.

Furthermore, think of how different the posture could be if our European "allies" got on the same page and presented as united rather than fractured.

Since you ask, posting the definition of civilization and following up by completing redefining it left me baffled. My hope is an action like that is not learned in public schools.
