U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” as his threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure loom ahead of an 8 p.m. ET deadline.

Iran has rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and says it wants a permanent end to the war.

UN Secretary General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law.

The death toll so far includes more than 1,900 people in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, about two dozen in other countries in the region, 13 U.S. service members and 11 Israeli soldiers.

    ~60% of the country either voted for him or couldn’t be arsed to vote at all, declaring with their non-vote that both candidates were equally valid.

    Sorry mate but… it’s the US. It’s not just a minority of people. It’s the fucking president and administration of the United States of America.

    If he was just a republican traitor and not the president of the country, he wouldn’t be threatening with nuking a country.

        And yet, he only won by a fraction, not a landslide. However, it remains true that a good 30% of the country couldn’t be bothered to vote. If only a portion of that 30% decided that maybe Harris was a slightly better president, we wouldn’t be here today.
