https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/30/world/live-news/iran-war-us-israel-trumpPressed on Trump’s threat, the White House press secretary said the US will follow the law.Trump’s threat: President Donald Trump said the US may blow up and obliterate Iran’s electric plants and oil wells if a deal to end the war is not reached and the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Asked about Trump’s threat, the White House said the US military will follow the law.
>>1501769>Asked about Trump’s threat, the White House said the US military will follow the law.Wouldn't that mean refusing the president's order to commit war crimes?
>>1501773It means who's going to prosecute them given no one was able to do anything about them murdering fishermen
>>1501774Hegseth and Rubio getting tried by the international criminal court is a funny timeline (Donald's arteries no doubt are gonna give out before a trial can occur)
>>1501773Taken literally it means what >>1501774 says. They’ll do whatever they’re allowed to do without being prosecuted under US law, which right now means they can kill schoolgirls.>>1501769He’s been threatening this for a few days now and extending his deadlines. Iran have said they will match escalation, meaning if their civilian infrastructure is attacked they will retaliate by attacking civilian infrastructure, and they’ve done so in numerous occasions. What Trump is threatening to do has already been done, oil refineries and desalination plants and power plants and steelworks, they’ve even bombed a university in Tehran
>>1501780They won’t be arrested right now in the US under current conditions. Things can change though and quickly
>>1501783He's clearly just flailing. They dropped sanctions on Iranian oil; that's not a move you make out of strength. Sure, the US could start obliterating Iranian oil infrastructure... but then oil goes up to 200 a barrel (which it might do anyways).
>>1501784This war sure as hell won't get more popular. Come 2028, when the Hague starts asking for Hegseth, who'd be around to vouch for alcoholic fox news host turned war criminal?
>>1501788It depends on whether the US will extradite their own citizens. That or someone will have to capture them
>>1501789Kegseths not going to take the fall for Donny, and ole Bonespurs is notoriously slow and stupid
>>1501789Democrats extraditing republicans for defending international waters from drug cartels would be so fucking funny. Peak treason hours.
>>1501795is that why we're invading iran now, shill anon? you shills can never seem to keep the story straight
>>1501790Trump is an old man he’ll probably be dead in the next 25 years. Depends how long the war lasts and how long until there’s a moral government in charge of the US
>>1501800You're assuming his admin survives midterms. Republicans and their strongholds are dropping like flies. Even Trump's own home district turned blue.
>>1501795If you're looking for funny, check out this ICE agent getting the shit kicked out of themhttps://bsky.app/profile/mayhem1994.bsky.social/post/3mibr6jy2ms2v
>>1501802Seems to be a larper. Deserves it all the more AND he can't even press charges seeing as he was committing a crime impersonating a federal officer.
>>1501807>larpernah, I was told anyone wearing a uniform and an ICE patch was an officer and no other ID was neededThis is a legit ICE officer getting the shit kicked out of them, and no one seems to care
>>1501787WHO thinks that this will end with Trump getting frustrating and dropping a nuke on Tehran. Bad times are ahead.
>>1501812He won't with US troops in the theater at risk of fallout
>>1501814lol you really think he gives a shit about them? He's literally funding their deaths by letting Iran and Russia ship oil.
>>1501815No he doesn't give a shit about the troops but he DOES give a shit about the bad PR.
>>1501812I would COOM if a low yield nuclear weapon was used in the region
>>1501817If he gave a shit about bad PR he wouldn't have started a war in the middle east after promising up and down the last 6 years he wouldn't do that.
>>1501820apparently PR means something else when your followers are basically zombies
>>1501819Trump isn't going to nuke his most important supporters
>>1501820>>1501821As insane as this all has been/still is, there are lines his followers will not cross.He was vaccinated for covid. He gave a speech trying to take credit for the vaccine being produced in record time. It wasn't until the crowd started to turn on him that he really leaned into anti-vax bullshit.He's really nothing special, he just doesn't have a filter that other people do, and is good at letting himself be a blank slate for people to project their grievances on. Any psychopath with a propaganda machine and a corporate backing could do the same, most would probably do better without half melted brains.
>>1501823>It wasn't until the crowd started to turn on him that he really leaned into anti-vax bullshit.You're forgetting that he denied the virus was a thing for the first 3 months until he figured out he could use it as an excuse to ban tourists and immigrants.
>>1501823>Any psychopath with a propaganda machine and a corporate backing could do the same, most would probably do better without half melted brains.Nah, the difference is that most of those psycopaths come off as clearly disingenuous or souless (see Newsom). Trump is a mean-spirited little man, but there's something genuinely human about him compared to the vapid collection of consultant talking points in a suit and tie that are most other politicians.
>>1501830LMAO
>>1501830>Hitler is a mean-spirited little man, but there's something genuinely human about him compared to the vapid collection of consultant talking points in a suit and tie that are most other politicians(Goebbels, etc)Say, ALL CAPS CACA CAULDRON CHURNER, your posts sometimes attract the dumbest of the right wingers
>>1501769Just give up old man. All the blustering and late-night Truth-ing won't work this time other than give some bearded Iranian something to laugh at.You've raised the oil prices, set the Iranian pro-Democratic movement back two generations by creating a 'rally round the flag' effect and about the only people who won here was the Jews, who get to expand their lebensraum in Lebanon.
>>1501773tRump is going to make sure Hegseth's signatures on the orders and then deny knowing anything about it afterwards.Or plead non compos mentis.As for attacking desalination plants. Israel is a global leader in desalination, with five major Mediterranean plants—Ashkelon, Hadera, Sorek, Palmachim, and Ashdod—supplying roughly 70–80% of its drinking water. Same goes for the SaudisA few well placed explosions and America's going to have to export a lot of bottled water
>>1501834Russia won. US is pulling a lot of support from Ukraine, and sanctions have been removed.China is winning as well. Taiwan and the rest of Asia is getting fucked by the oil shortage, and the US has pulled a lot of military assets from the region, which will be good for China when it decides to flatten Taiwan and resettle it with mainlanders next year.
>>1501780This really is the only solution to bring the war criminal republicans to justice since assuming trump doesn't stage a coup, he's just going to pardon everyone so they can't proseucted in the US.A good thing pardons don't cover international criminal courts.Hell, you could send trump to stand trial. Or even better, hand him and Hegseth over to whatever country we're still at war at as part of a peace negotiation.
>>1501836a zerg rush can always be defended with enough cannons
>>1501836Russia aren’t winning it’s at a stalemate, and China don’t have to invade Taiwan they’re already Chinese
>>1501834The Israeli invasion of Lebanon is ongoing. It’s not the first time they’ve invaded and it is the first time they’ve invaded whilst being bombarded. Displacing people doesn’t mean you won the war
>>1501840China says that Chinese are genetically incompatible with non-CPC or democratic forms of governance, and Taiwan goes against that propaganda.
>>1501842Strange assertion
>CNN>blueskyHoly shit, this is the worst board ever.
>>1501861Go back to your containment board instead of crying like a bitch.
>>1501861>He's never been to r/newsThat's where they get their 120 seconds dRumpf hate articles from. Then they bring their basic bitch bullshit and spam it on this dead board.
>>1502048Who is "they"?
>>1501861I mean, ever since the fascist faggot threatened their broadcast licenses CNN has been pretty right wing. They barely talk about the horrible shit he's doing they should be critiquing. Yesterday they ran a story about an airport in Florida changing its name after Dementia Donny, as if there's nothing more noteworthy going on in airports.
>>1502156Probably you.>>1502165CNN's actually been bought out. I can't remember by who. So it's likely reporting normally and you're used to MSNBC levels of muckraking.
