It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.
When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.
We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation.
We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction.
Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade.
Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace.
Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country.
Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.
🚨 BREAKING:
🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST SAID LIVE ON FOX NEWS:
"THE 8:00 PM DEADLINE FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL IS HAPPENING. NEGOTIATIONS ARE IN GOOD FAITH."
LOOKS LIKE THE WAR END IS CLOSE!!
This morning, President Trump threatened to completely wipe out Iran.
An entire country of 93 million.
That’s a war crime. Plain and simple.
This war needs to end. NOW.
Almost every single Republican in the Senate voted AGAINST stopping Trump’s war in Iran.
Now, Trump is saying, “an entire civilization will die tonight.”
End the war. Bring our troops home.
"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.
Donald Trump has lost his mind and his threats to wipe out the Iranian people should be taken seriously. He’s out of control and his cabinet and those around him must be loyal to the constitution and invoke the 25th amendment. He must be removed.
🇺🇦🇷🇺 STRATEGIC defeat already locked in
"Russia has already lost this war strategically. Even if the fighting continues, its future has changed, forever." - Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦
Even if lines move a bit, the bigger picture is set, economy strained, sanctions biting, military losses stacking into the tens of thousands of vehicles and huge manpower costs
Russia isn’t expanding power anymore, it’s burning it, resources, influence, credibility, all going into one war that keeps dragging
And once that kind of damage sets in, you don’t just reset it like nothing happened
🚨BREAKING NEWS:
Russia and China vetoed the UN Security Council resolution on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳
▪️Let's see if the US can fight Russia, China, and Iran alone without the help of its allies. Hmm, I doubt it...
