"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.
If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.
Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.

How can Trump threaten to kill "a whole civilization" in one sentence and also ask for God's blessing of that same civilization in another sentence?
This irrational, unhinged rhetoric does not serve the interests of the American people.
America has never been in the business of destroying whole civilizations. That's not who we are.
In making such a threat, Trump is grossly out of step with American values and American society.
Hoping prudence ultimately prevails.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump warns 'whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' if Iran doesn't agree to deal to end war

No #BPDChat today but I've had experience this week of hearing from people who have been invalidated growing up (have been told certain emotions aren't allowed, for instance), and have heard from many people who invalidate themselves. The ability to validate oneself is vital.

@littlirishheart Thanks for sharing this. It's true emotions often diminish from their most intense over time (in some instances 45 minutes or so, in other situations longer), so "giving some space" can be a smart thing to do. #BPDChat

@CarlDunnJr That when an explosion of emotions happen its better to walk away and give space for a bit. Then everything is hopefully reset.

@GoonerKJP I like this. I've found using color when drawing or painting really helps express the feeling. #BPDChat

@shinyhunterkate It sounds as though you're making progress. It takes time to learn to act differently. I hope you compliment yourself. And sometimes, it really helps to be kind to oneself and understanding to oneself... #BPDChat

@CarlDunnJr We just really talked about it last week, so not really. I think even knowing why I do it, it’s gonna take time to not automatically do it anyway. I struggle with guilt a lot, even for the tiniest things. I always feel like everything’s my fault and feel responsible for others-

@GoonerKJP Hi. I'm glad you're here. This is terrific to learn (that you use drawing to express yourself). We sometimes forget drawing (or other artistic expression) can be an important way to express ourselves and communicate with others. #BPDChat

@CarlDunnJr Sorry late for the chat, I find it difficult, I find by drawing it i can the explain my drawing rather than be able to freely express it. #bpdchat

@shinyhunterkate I'm familiar with people masking because other people don't like to see certain emotions expressed. I wasn't thinking about your experience of not wanting to place burdens on others. If I may ask, did you learn to do anything differently based on that knowledge? #BPDChat

@CarlDunnJr Definitely! We found a lot of my emotions I mask because I don’t want to place burdens on other people #BPDchat
